UFO:_Aftermath
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Steam Header
Release Date: 2014
Developer: Altar Interactive
Publisher: Fulqrum Publishing
Platforms: PC
Genre: Real-Time tactics


Developed by Altar Interactive, UFO: Aftermath is a real-time tactics game heavily inspired by the origianl X-COM, (Down to having bought the rights to a cancelled X-com successor, The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge, though Altar found the game's engine too unfinished to be usuable and made their own game using some of the story concepts from it.) just like the original X-COM, the player will fight battles on a tactical view, just now in real time and use a geoscape view to select missions and pursue research and development of weaponry to fight back the Alien Threat that has almost completely wiped out humanity.

Many weapons in the game are capable of a "Burst" firing mode, though often single-shot weapons such as handguns have a "Burst" mode, any weapon that isn't a Sniper Rifle, Shotgun or Rocket Launcher usually has a burst function, the game also splits weapons into "Pistols", "Rifles and "Heavy" weapons, which often feature weapons that are simply "close enough" in that catagory. (for instance all submachine guns use the "Pistol" catagory and skill and Shotguns go into the "Rifles" catagory in-game.)

While the game does correctly track what caliber a weapon uses in the in-game Glossary, weapons use non-interchangable magazines in-gameplay.

The following weapons appear in UFO: Afermath


Pistols

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 appears, alongside the Uzi, Shotgun and basic Grenade as one of your infinitely available weaponry, while the Colt has good damage for a handgun, it has relatively low range and capacity

Submachine Guns/Machine Pistols

Sa Skorpion Hybrid

The Skorpion SA machine pistol appears as the lightest submachine gun in the game, making it a good submachine gun for units with low strength. It has the wooden grip of a Vz.61, is called the Vz.83 and the in-game glossary claims it is chambered in 9mm which neither version was available in.

Shotguns

A generic shotgun appears in-game with two oddities: The pre-rendered rotating weapon in the equipment menu has a more metalic texture than the icon/in-game shotgun and secondly, while called the generic name of "Pump Action" in the equipment menu, in the Ufopedia it is called the "Spas-12" despite clearly not being a Franchi SPAS-12.
