Plot
The game is set during the First Alien War in 1999. Unmentioned in the storyline as played out by UFO: Enemy Unknown, funding was being provided to a program tasked with creating the ultimate robot warrior and led by a Professor Able Standard. However, owing to funding cuts by nations involved with the X-COM program, they were forced to abandon the project. Professor Standard refused to stop the project, carrying it on in secret in the Nevada desert. On completion, Enforcer was unleashed on the invading alien hordes.
Set during the first alien war, the game follows Enforcer as he defeats alien forces throughout the United States, including several special alien creations aimed to destroy him. In the end, Able Standard discovers the alien mothership, which is behind the recent attacks on Earth. It is about to unleash an attack on Earth, and only Enforcer can stop it. Even though the professor is mortally wounded by aliens, he, in his last moments, sends Enforcer through a teleport right to the mothership. Eventually this leads to a showdown with a cloaked alien leader known as «High Ethereal», who taunts the Enforcer, and after the Ethereal is defeated the mothership self-destructs and Enforcer is jettisoned into space, with the scientist's dying words echoing through its mind before fading to black.
Development
When launching production of the game, Hasbro canceled two other X-COM games that were in production at the time: X-COM: Alliance andX-COM: Genesis. Given that Hasbro Interactive went out of business shortly after the release of X-COM: Enforcer, it used Alliance andGenesis resources in order to quickly make something with the X-COMbrand.
Reception
Reviews for X-COM: Enforcer were mixed, resulting in an overallMetascore of 65. A positive review by IGN stated that the game is «pretty much nonstop action» and that it was perfect for when [one has] only got fifteen minutes to kill", giving it a score of 8/10. GameSpotwas more cautious, noting that «it's as mindless of a shooter as they come, and you can't help but be disappointed at the thought of this, in light of the series' roots as a mentally stimulating strategy game,» with a review score of 6.4/10. Computer Games Magazine was even harsher, giving it only two and half stars out of five, and stating: «X-COM lovers will hate this game, and it's clear the label was just tacked on as some lame attempt to cash in on the series' brand appeal.» In a 2012 retrospective article, Richard Cobbett of PC Gamer made fun of the relatively high Metacritic score that this «crap» game has received and called Enforcer «one of the worst spin-offs ever squirted out on the PC.» X COM Enforcer Game free Download Full Version.
