This freeware strategy game’s graphics is far from perfect. I’d be guilty of gushing (like the fan that I am) if I am to discuss just the positive side of this PC game’s graphics. (Missiles are way too large though I’m hoping this will be fixed in later builds.) The developers also didn’t ignore minute details-even in aerial world map battles where the models are Lilliputian, aircraft with laser cannons will lance out shafts of coherent light while missile-equipped ones will unleash a swarm of projectiles at enemies. It’s chilling to behold a humongous alien Harvester from a distance in night battles the effect is akin to an underwater behemoth resting just inside the periphery of your vision. I also love the way how objects slowly get swallowed by darkness the farther they are from the camera. Ravenous fires of flamethrowers bathe aliens with high-contrast colors-shadows deepen while sides facing the flames light up. However, for those of you who have not pigeonholed yourself into the idea that all games should have AAA graphics to be worth playing, there’s still plenty to feast your eyes on the developers of this freeware strategy game have made significant tweaks to UFO: AI’s engine.įor one, the real-time lighting in this PC game is superb walls and other surfaces glow as coherent light from energy weapons knife through the battlescape. It’s not for everyone, particularly those who nitpick about visuals. UFO: Alien Invasion may not have production values found in AAA games but its real strength is in its gameplay. It may seem odd that I should discuss this aspect first, given that this freeware game is based on a PC classic that featured an unprecedented gameplay structure but I felt that I should discuss what I’ve listed as one of the weak points of the game.
