Haven't even started and decided: ALL games should follow you (and a few other devs) and have a "start muted" button. Props to you, o wise developer.

This game reminds me of Space Hulk ^_^. Good upgrades and great gameplay. I would just add my voice towards an "Undo" button, although I could see the exploit when skimming about the map. Still sucks when you accidently click on a square that you didn't mean to. 5/5!

Just finished the game, simply amazing, x-com back again. I would like an undo button, how about having it available only three times per mission. This way, no abuses of explore/undo, for those you could be tempted. And if you miss click more than three times a mission, Man! you have bigger problems to deal with before playing this game.

Wonderful Game! I love that there are different levels of strategy necessary to finish the game - and thumbs up to Kongregate for an impossible badge which I enjoy working on.

I was about to comment about Challenge 1 being mathematically impossible, then I realized the control room isn't an elevator. Heh.

I finally got the impossible badge. Congratulations to the developers for producing a game that is enjoyable enough to be worth all the repeat attempts! (Eventually I got it through my thick skull that the winning strategy for the last mission is to always end your turn with as few people as possible on alert -- zero if you can do it.)

mission 11 felt more like the "final mission". It tested my chess logic to the maximum, and even then I got the gold medal just by the skin of my teeth. Mission 12 was pretty epic, but short.

Okay, I just got the glitch where I can't select any character on turn 3. This has happened twice today. Please fix this glitch, it is incredibly annoying when going for challenges and/or diamond medals.

If this is really your first attempt at coding a Flash Game, you got lots of talent there. I hope seeing more of them soon! And take your time. ;)

Really really really really nice. Haven't got a bad thing to say about it!
I really hope there is another one like this in the works. Add ons to this would be cool, but if only a new set of maps were made I wouldn't complain at all! 5/5!

I wish there was like a bonus campaign after the story is complete. I think you should be the aliens in the bonus campaign.(comment) I love the originality of this game! And that your troops are able to fire at the aliens DURING their move. Awesome game bro! Make another!

Great game! Love that it allows different play styles from conservative to bravado! I played the whole campaign very conservatively until the final level when I just said screw it and went charging in guns blazing not worrying about making it or not and I actually won!... but I lost two marines. No matter. This game makes stories. Its great! Please keep up the great work and make a sequel.

More more more please! Very creative and well built game. From the story to the diff action that comes from playing any mission over to everything in between. When I am on the edge of my seat wondering will I win this time as I am being overrun by aliens. Superb! Bravo!

Great game 5/5 i've played similar games in the past but this is rich in details and lovely graphics plus the weapons and upgrades are lovely. 10/5 :D

Great gameplay, the flexibility allowed in picking your strategy is just fantastic and really gives it the feel of one of those sci-fi horror movies when you get to the point where the team's running madly for the elevator, getting in each other's way and the last person is covering for everyone else. But I'm now stuck on level 11 because around the 4th or 5th turn, it glitches out after a lot of alien movement and I'm not able to select troopers to act with. The cursor highlights occupied hexagons but won't select them on clicking.

@hektikbeatz 1. You're the one controlling that 'stupid guy'. Try not to make him run in front of aliens for no reason. 2. An undo option would strip any challenge from this game, and if your strategy works you won't need to undo anything. 3. When you finish/fail a level there's a button that says 'Stuck? Watch a walkthrough!' ... I suggest you click it.

i remember playing this game before. same before as it was then. everything about it is impressive: the X-Com like layout (though that's about where the similarities end), fabulous music, impressive graphics, even the story. the fact that i have a hard time getting into this game and will subsequently never finish anything but the easy badge (maybe the medium eventually) is no reason not to give it the high score it deserves. oh, and love the Aliens vibe too. that certainly helps. ;)

Um, a soldier died and dropped "0 magazines" and then I picked it up and the soldier that picked it up had an extra mag.

Shoespeak in an update made to flash several months ago if you clear your cookies/cache (depends on your browser) it'll delete your game saves.

There's a glitch, at Round: 23 DMG: 894 killed: 4, in round 11C I couldn't select my characters LT and Taylor. Had to end the turn and die...

This reminds me of playing the x-com games, except the game mechanics rely less on you being lucky and more on strategy and planning. I like the use of the hexagonal board, and that much of the useful equipment is available from the start but you can upgrade it. I also like the action point/movement point system, I experimented with something like this (my results weren't as good). Overall 5/5.

@Fubarman: You can close the vents:) Techie ( Pierce) have magnetic bombs, and without upgrades he have 1, with 2 blast radius, 2 turns, but upgraded he have 2 Bombs, 3 Radius,3 Turns effect. This Magnetic Bombs seals that area, no enemy / marine can move in or out from those hexagons.

@drewg : Are you doing the mission on hard mode? If not, you can't have more than a gold medal... (When pointing a mission, you'll see what's needed for the next medal)

Why does this remind me of Doom (The movie)? Space mission (mars in movie), Aliens (mutants), 6 man squad, and going on search and destroy, and rescue missions. 'Nuff said.

zzx: Wood's (War Cry) and Blake's (Quickness Program) are pretty nice with the 2 turns duration upgrades. Pierce's (Explosive Bomb) is great too and as a bonus removes acid/glue. I started out spending most of my skill points on Blake and global upgrades.

I dunno if anyone else thinks so but i always wanted a co-op mmo game like this. mabye where u buy your guns and ammo before hand in the main lobby and then go and do missions with other guys, having your special class like the scout or medic in this one.

Omg I DID IT. DIAMOND ON STAGE 12 + BADGE! Huddling everyone in the first turn to lure all the small creeps into tight bunches to destroy with flamethrowers/bombs did the trick!

Nice gameplay, wish there were more games like this on Kong.
However, more work is needed on mission plausibility - I mean, c'mon, who puts a control panel for a door in the completely opposite corner of the base?! And then, when you finally do open that door, you close the one next to you which is then again opened from the opposite corner...
I know you want players to split the team, but please work on the mission plot a bit more.

amazing game, very good job every thing is clearly explained fun and honestly when i first saw i thought i was going to leave, but i stayed and played :) awesome game 5/5.
good job developer!

loved the end of the tutorial, after I killed the first alien, you have to leave the ship because there are to many lifeforms. I was like, no way I stay and kill them all. killed 1,2,3,4 and 5 of them. after the last kill my reaction was: I cant take this any longer, time to leave
