How to play

The gameplay consists of two parts.
1st - strategic management of X-Com bases, assignment of research and production and making decisions to counteract the alien invaders.

2nd part begins with an attempt to impose a ground battle on the aliens (or with a reverse attempt) in tactical mode. The player controls his soldiers in turn-based mode and tries to achieve success (blow up the alien base, capture prisoners, UFOs and artifacts).
