X-COM: UFO Defense is a strategy game where players lead a secretive global initiative to defend Earth from alien invasion while keeping the threat hidden from the public. Underfunded by skeptical governments, X-COM struggles to balance research, defense, and operational costs against increasingly powerful extraterrestrial forces. Despite limited resources, they uncover alien plans and counter their attacks. However, the ultimate mission to invade Mars and neutralize the alien brain controlling the invasion is a pyrrhic victory; X-COM’s forces succeed but at devastating losses, revealing humanity's vulnerability and leaving Earth defenseless against future threats, raising questions about the cost of survival.
