The war continues... X-COM: UFO Defense brought you to a galactic battlefield. X-COM: Terror from the Deep brings the alien terror into a totally new dimension.
Seeking to take advantage of a weakened Earth, X-COM's deep space foes unexpectedly change strategy and launch a powerful second front against planet Earth.
In the dark depths of vast oceans, long sleeping forces are awakened by reanimation signals sent out across the galactic silence by their interstellar brothers and sisters. Slowly but surely, an army of hibernating alien sea creatures awakens. Your combat now extends to the strange new worlds of the deep where superior alien technologies threaten the very survival of this planet - your planet - Earth.

"2039. The last scarred sites of the alien war of 30 years ago are
healing and, for all intents and purposes, the threat to the Earth
might never have happened. Humans sleep easier in their beds knowing
that the evil has gone...
But in the oceans long-silent forces
have been aroused by the conflicts. Forces that have from time to time
made themselves known to man, but for the most part have remained
hidden. Separated from their stellar cousins for millennia, these
aliens are now aware of their brethren's former battles culminating in
the final conflict on Mars.
Under the ocean lies the remains of
a vast interstellar colonization ship; 400 billion tons of metal that
plummeted to the Earth some 65 million years ago. Now, the waiting is
at an end, the powerful computers begin to stir, the ancient technology
readies itself for the coming storm. When the alien base on Mars
shuddered in its death throes, a powerful Tachyon beam darted out to a
long dormant receptor.
Thirty years ago, awakened by the cosmic
emissions of their brothers, the vast chambers of innumerable species
began their re-animation cycle.
X-COM must now face a new
terror, an army of aliens that is already here, but in an environment
more deadly than deep space. The aliens of the depths are well prepared
to take on man in all the oceans, even bringing the war onto land.
X-COM:
Terror From The Deep lets you enter into combat in a strange and alien
world, use new technology to enable the war to be taken under the seas,
arm your troops for an encounter the likes of which man has only
dreamed of in his worst nightmares..."
