Our take on X-COM: Enforcer
The single-machine premise keeps the focus on the Enforcer’s battlefield role, but gives up the broader perspective of directing other parts of the extraterrestrial defense effort.
What is X-COM: Enforcer?
Play as the Enforcer, a high-tech fighting machine created by an X-COM scientist to oppose an extraterrestrial invasion of Earth.
Built from human robotics and salvaged alien technology, the Enforcer carries powerful weapons into alien hot spots across America in the early 21st century. Combat takes place in several urban settings, including city streets, rooftops, and sewers, while invading forces terrorize the population. The game uses the same engine as Unreal Tournament and places the player in the role of the machine sent to confront the alien attack. The central activity is fighting extraterrestrial forces with the Enforcer’s weapon systems.
