Hey, I found the answer to those damned skeletoids - a taste of their own medicine! Cloaking device + personal deflector shield (the deflector is really, really cool!).

Psychic powers are great vs. the Anthropods (and hostile organizations) and since my soldiers have improved their psychics even the Skeletoids are easy prey.

I've found the Flying suit works best with the hybrids - it's light (making their low strength less of a problem) and the shooting penalty because of flying makes no difference for psychic attacks.

But I still got 2 more questions:
1. When will the aliens start to send in bigger UFOs? For the last 3 weeks no new UFO types have appeared (my score is quite high)?

2. Do hybrids ever gain increases in strength?

P.S. I don't like using explosive ammo or missiles much - they usually destroy equipment I could otherwise capture and/or sell.

when i click to donwload the game there is only a reload of the current site. so i cant download the game. does anyone knows what i have to do?

is this game really not as good as the first? the screenshots in the review looked awesome...im contemplating whether to download it or not (its gonna take a few hours)...i played 10mins of the second one and did not like it whatsoever (the whole underwater sea thing seemed too far fetched...and the graphics werent as good for some reason)

It is indeed clearly inferior to the original. The best way to play this game is to play it without thinking it's part of the Xcom triology. It's a pretty slightly above average game if not played as one of the successors to one of the best game of all time...

"Guest" is right. The download/"Get It" link seems to be broken. It just loads the review site again. Please have a look into this.

It's... different. At first I thougt it was a cheap attempt to get more money by sticking "X-com" into the title, but I soon changed my mind. You'll either love it or hate it - just don't expect it to be like x-com 1 or 2. And don't play it in turn-based mode, as real-time is far better and in fact easier (you can pause the game to give orders etc.).

Bottom line is you can't really be sure of it until you've tried it. I find it a very entertaining and interesting game (although not as good as x-com 1).

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie on this site. I can't dowload XCOM Apocalypse. I have still the original CD but it don't work with XP.

Could you please, make the dowload available.

See you

The download is available. You are probably trying to use a multi-download program, which is why you can't download. Disable that and download it normally and it should work fine.
