X-COM: Apocalypse review

PC Powerplay - Issue 15 (1997): "For: gameplay the has more strategic depth than the proverbial Pacific Ocean. Alien autopsies, hover cars, big guns and dimensional doors...what a great combination. Against: keeping track of finances, weapons supplies, personnel etc can be occasionally overwhelming. The aliens look too "Blobby" and indistinctive."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

X-COM: Apocalypse was re-released as part of the compilations X-COM Collection by Hasbro Interactive in 1999, and X-COM: Complete Pack in 2008 and 2K Huge Games Pack in 2009 by 2K Games.
