UFO: Aftershock is a squad-based tactical strategy-RPG with real-time-with-pause combat. It's 2054, fifty years after Earth's surface became unlivable and humanity fled to Laputa, a flying colony. A revolt destroyed that refuge—now you're leading survivors who've found a second abandoned Laputa with a landing pod back to the planet. You'll reclaim territory from hostile forces, manage squads in isometric 3D battles where you pause to issue orders, and rebuild what's left of civilization. The game mixes base development with ground missions against mutated creatures and rival factions. Expect resource scarcity, permadeath stakes for soldiers, and a grim tone—this isn't a clean reconquest. If you want tactical depth without turn timers and don't mind a darker spin on planetary recovery, it delivers.
