UFO: Aftermath is a 3D isometric, tactical strategy game with a rich and compelling sci fi story.

Combining a global strategy with small squad tactical combat, the challenge offered is to fight against an alien invasion. Featuring run time generated tactical missions with innovative simultaneous combat action; the genre is also enhanced with strong RPG elements, offering a quite unique mix of strategic ideas.

RPG - Your soldiers will improve as they gain more experience. Their skills are derived from these statistics, and each point that you put into any one of these attributes will have a noticeable effect on that soldier’s skills. These attributes are: Strength, Agility, Dexterity, Willpower, Intelligence, and Perception

Strategy - You must manage your bases, interceptions, and squads. Territory is equal to power in the game - the more you control, the better your interceptor coverage. Also, the faster you research, the better things could be.

Tactics - Fighting on the ground against aliens and mutants for the control of territories. Once you control a territory, you can decide what type of base you want there: Research, Military, Manufacture or Biomass repulsion.

Combat - Unique combat system features all of the best elements of both turn-based and real-time combat systems. You give orders while the game is paused to avoid the frantic rush of a real time system. While in pause you can give your troops very detailed orders taking as much time as you like. Once you are finished you simply start the game and continue playing. Once the game is underway you can pause the game at any point to update or change your orders and the game will automatically pause when important events occur, so that you may modify your plans accordingly. This combat is combining the finely grained tactics of a turn-based game with the realism of a real time system.

    Green Man Gaming is spiggin awesome (yeah that's right…spiggin)!

    Constantly giving away free games, then letting you trade them in for credit, whilst allowing you stack discount codes on sale items…love it :D

    • I just checked I have $11 in trade in value… eventually I'll get a steam game out of it.

      • I just used my free credit plus 20% discount code to get Quantum Conundrum Season Pass (activates on Steam) for $2.50 - thanks gizmomelb ;)

        • I already have that game ..s'OK.
          At the rate Green Man are giving out these games, I'm likely to be able to get BF4 covered by the time it comes out.

  • I love to play UFO years ago. When will the next UFO franchise game comes out?

  • I only got my email from Greenman advertising this a few mins ago ;-)

    • I tried your referral code but i got no credit?

      • Sadly it is only after a purchase ($2 or more) and the free game isn't considered a purchase.
        If it makes you feel any better I don't get the credit until you make a purchase either.
        :\

        • haha oh i get you. ok no worries.

        • Thank you for using the referral though!
          (Hope you make a purchase someday)
          :P

    I just signed up for the site and have not received a confirmation email, i did receive a newsletter though

    Would this just be a server overloading issue?

  • If this is related to X-Com Enemy Unknown, then that is cool.

    X-Com was one of the best games ever.

    • It's not part of the X-Com franchise but its ok for all that

      • Aftermath is not so good. Afterlight is much better.
        Waiting for years for a decent sequel. There should be a first person shooter with X-com theme.
        There is a X-com like game for Android
        And there was onw for Microsoft CE version froma russian guy.
        Now I need a real -complex- base building, researching, hiring, buying, developing, selling, spaceships, shield, armor, plasma, blaster-cannon, all destroying game !!!!!

  • Looks like you can't get this 20% and the Hacker Evolution 20% discount codes together… Well I haven't figured it out anyways :(

  • Noticed Guild War 2 DDE is back up on GMG. Anyone got the 20% code to work with it? When i try it says voucher is invalid.

    • +1

      Do you still need it?

      • Got it working, must have had space after the code when i copied and pasted it.

  • Password reset still won't let me log in - fail

    • I can't log in or reset my password either, looks like I'm gonna miss out on this one.
      I've just submitted a support ticket, we'll see if they fix it in time…

      • Turns out I was locked out because I purchased a game while overseas from a 'banned' country'. They've unlocked my account and I am now a happy X-Com camper.

  • Their site is being hammered all night.looks like I'll be missing this one too

  • finally got my activation email, so hopefully everyone else will be able to log in and purchase soon

  • Weird, didn't see a code at the order confirmation page. Are these codes assigned individually, if not, can someone please post one up? Cheers.

    • Nvm, found it in the keys page.

    • It's in your order confirmation email. Alternatively you can click here or go to your account page then click the keys page and scroll down to the bottom and your unique 20% off coupon should be under the vouchers section.

  • I see Guild Wars 2 on GMG is the North American version, does it mean it can not be played in Australia?
    I'm asking as applying the 20% coupon is quite the bargain, if it is possible.

  • Is it just me, or can this game not be traded in?

    • With most free games from GMG you can't trade it in OR they have a time delay on it, you might be able to trade it in a month from now.
      I think they do it to stop abuse and game/cash farming.

      • Thanks for the constructive response and not just neg-ing my naive question.

        • No problem at all.
          :)

  • Sweet; been long enough since I played XCom to forget how incredibly frustrating the game is :)

  • bah @ Time Capsule requirement. More junkware/spyware

    • It isn't that bad. Think of it as Steams slower, less hansom cousin.

  • Has anyone tried stacking the 20% off vouchers?
    I've got two of them and wanted to know if I could get 40% off something
    :D

    • Didn't work when I tried but 20% off is good.

      • Thanks for letting me know
        :)

        • Ok, since it can't be stacked does anyone want a 20% off code??

  • Does anyone else get the game crashing constantly upon startup? Can't get past the logo screen….

  • How to use this Games? Do I need to buy a Video game controller or X box, pls advice

    • It is a PC game (Digital Download via Greenman Gamings software - Capsule) and should work with just keyboard and mouse.
      :)

    • Usually a keyboard and mouse will do the trick.

  • not free anymore? says 6.95?

  • Anyone who got the free games check out GMG for trade in deals!
