This is another position of Microprose from the X-Com series, dealing with the fight against cosmic invaders. This time, however, it is not a strategy, but a typical action game using a graphical engine from Unreal Tournament. In X-Com: Enforcer we observe the whole game from the third person's perspective, as it takes place in Tomb Raider or Blade of Darkness.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Earth is once again attacked by aliens. You, as a member of X-Com, an organization created specifically for the fight against aliens, are given the task of saving the planet from invaders.

The player controls Enforcerem, a kind of robot, which is the greatest military achievement of earthly scientists to defend our planet. Armed with the latest technology, Enforcer is sent to alien invasion sites, where he must eliminate all enemies, destroy their teleports and installations. Thirty dangerous missions await us, taking place in many places, from the streets of the cities, through the roofs of skyscrapers, to the underground tunnels. Between the next tasks we have the possibility to improve the Enforcer, thanks to mounting more components to increase its combat capabilities. Penetrating the secret places you can find many useful "bonuses" in the form of: weapons, first-aid kits, ammunition.
