Maxwell Armada Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I read that Genesis was supposed to be a remake/parralel story line to Xcom1. But what was X-com alliance supposed to be about. Was it still going to be a turn based combat game similar to the first in the series, or was it going to branch out line the silly FPS and Fighter pilot sim i read about in the forums?

You'd play as the crew of the patton cruiser, which went through a dimensional portal or a wormhole, don't remember, and went to another dimension where the Alien races from X-Com: UFO Defense and other species which were called the Ascidians. IIRC you were supposed to be allied with the Ascidians in the battle against the Sectoids, Mutons, etc.Damn... I want to play that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to play that game I saw a pic of it in one of my other XCOM game manuals and always wondered what happened to it, and now I know. So sad, that looked like an actual decent game.
