Ever Wanted Chryssalids on Your Backyard?

[Thorondor]

Well, now you can have them with X@COM - The X-COM Rogue-like.

 

Here's word:

 

It's a zombocalypse, X-COM style! Now don't get too scared. I wouldn't make you face an army of chryssalids--that would just be a massacre and not much fun at all.

 

I present to you R7 along with the grandest scenario yet: Cataclysm. (Yes, it's named after the cool zombie apocalypse survival roguelike which you can find here.)

 

A virus of alien origin suddenly descends on a town where a small group of X-COM operatives happen to be enjoying some R&R. It's time to show those aliens what off-duty X-COM soldiers can really do! WE'RE GONNA... wait a minute... we're off duty... we don't have any weapons... or armor... or anything except our wits and a sledgehammer in the garage. ****.

Sounds downright... infectious!

I'd just discovered a nifty Doom Roguelike a week ago, now a X-Com Roguelike. My childhood games are getting mixed up! Excellent.

This isn't quite an update as the X@COM (XCOMRL) project has apparently been put on hold by its creator for a while now but word is potentially two to four years or more will be added to the wait due to other projects he engaged in taking precedence.
