USC: Counterforce is a turn-based squad-tactics game set in a tense sci-fi atmosphere. You control a strike team of commandos sent out to planetary body M-8322 to investigate and neutralize the remainders of a still mostly unidentified alien threat. But what you find there may very well change the course of history...
An in-depth, RPG-lite game system with complex character attributes and skills, detailed combat mechanics, and elaborate inventory management fuels the turn-based tactical core of the game, enabling you to truly customize your forces and face the threats as you want.
- Class-free skill system with many passive abilities
- Melee and ranged weapons with various types of ammunition
- Hacking tools, mines, turrets and other deployable solutions, armor and weapon upgrades
Fight and explore through fully interactable and destructible, varied, multi-layered environments with useful, realistic mechanics to rearrange the battlefield. Build barricades, avoid and exploit environmental hazards, lay traps, trigger chain reactions, seal airlocks, or break through walls--but be aware, your enemies can also do so! The combinations of hazardous elements and effects open up even more tactical possibilities and dangers.
Take command and lead your fleet in the story-driven, procedurally generated, multi-ended Campaign mode, where your tactical tasks are accompanied by detailed management of your planetbase installation, the making of life-changing, narrative strategic decisions, and defending the fleet and the relay station to Earth.
