X-COM: Interceptor is a space combat sim with strategic base management. You're defending humanity's mining colonies from alien attacks in the outer solar system. Between missions, you outfit fighters with weapons and tech, manage resources, and decide which threatened outposts to protect. In combat, you pilot ships directly or command squadrons in real-time dogfights against alien craft. The campaign structure has you responding to escalating threats across multiple sectors while keeping your fleet operational. Success depends on balancing aggressive sorties with smart resource allocation—lose too many pilots or ships and you'll struggle to hold the line. It's aimed at players who want tactical depth between action sequences rather than pure arcade shooting.
