## Description
_Pocket UFO_ is a remake of the classic X-COM: UFO Defense for Pocket PC
devices.
In the game you run X-COM, an international organization formed to combat
aliens invading earth. On the strategic front, it will be your job to manage
the organization, hire staff, buy equipment, conduct research and more. On the
tactical front, you will send soldiers to carry out combat missions on downed
UFOs and enemy bases.
Building bases, assigning research, hiring and allocating stuff and equipment
is done on the global world map. Research is essential to the development of
the technologies you will need to defeat the aliens. Engineers will implement
these technologies, building better equipment. You can build several bases in
different areas of the globe. In each base you will have several facilities
such as living quarters for your staff, research laboratories, and hangars for
aircraft. You will have to send out craft to intercept and shoot down UFOs
discovered on the radar, and then a troop to clear the area of the downed UFO.
This is when the combat missions start.
Combat is isometric view and turn-based. Each soldier has a limited amount of
time-units to use each turn for moving around, shooting, crouching, etc. At
the end of your turn the aliens take their turn and so on. The skill and
experience of your soldiers, the time of day, the terrain are some of the
factors that affect combat.
Pocket UFO is very faithful to the original game – and recreates the classic
mixture of strategy and tactics.
