\"UFO<\/a><\/p>\n

Some time ago we wrote about UFO Online: Fight for Earth<\/a>, a sci-fi tactical browser-based MMO developed by\u00a0Gamigo, where you’re supposed to develop a base, do research and fight an alien invasion in a turn-based tactical fashion.<\/p>\n

By that time, when Xenonauts was still unknown, and XCOM:EU had yet to be announced, we included UFO Online on the “Can’t Miss Games in 2012 List<\/a>“. But, the game seemed\u00a0dormant\u00a0for a good while. Eventually it entered in closed beta. This was by the end of 2012. Now, UFO Online has entered open beta<\/a>, and Gamigo announced that is now available for all to play. It’s a free-to-play game with a micropayment\u00a0system to generate revenue. There’s PvP but also PvE mechanics, so, maybe there’s something for solo players to look for.<\/p>\n

With no word on when there will be new content produced for XCOM: Enemy Unknown; while Xenonauts is still in beta (with Steam early access hinted to be online soon); and while UFO2:Extrarrestrials gets even a new release date (Q4 2013 now); maybe you can extract some fun out of UFO Online: Fight for Earth<\/a>,\u00a0to satisfy your alien invasion tactical combat joy. If you don’t have a problem with free-to-play and browser-based games, that is.<\/p>\n
