Lead your space commandos in an epic revival of turn-based squad tactics inspired by XCOM, Space Hulk and Aliens, with deep skill and combat systems and multiple game modes. Uncover the truth behind the sinking of the MC83-A colony and protect humanity from an ancient alien threat.
Players control a hardened assault team of suit-and-boots commandos tasked with investigating and neutralizing the remnants of an unidentified alien threat on planetary body M-8322. But upon arrival, things don’t go according to plan…
With a class-free skill system and a variety of weapons and gadgets to use against the alien wave, players must guide their marines through extremely challenging missions across multiple game modes. The demo already demonstrates the infinite replayability of the finished game with hours of unique challenges.
With fully interactive, layered, destructible environments, players can utilize terrain and building layouts to maximize their defensive or offensive positions. Coupled with environmental hazards, buildable barricades, and walls that can be destroyed, the tactical opportunities to attack or retreat from combat positions are vast. Since alien enemies are also capable of executing similar tactics, USC: Counterforce builds on its depth layers to create a unique, atmospheric experience.
