XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM: Enemy Unknown puts you in charge of a global alien-defense project, split between tactical missions and base-level decisions. In combat, small squads move through cover, manage limited actions, and live with the consequences when shots miss or soldiers go down. Between missions you research technology, build facilities, and decide which countries to protect, making it ideal for players who like tense strategy with real stakes.
