_________________________
The story of X-COM: UFO Defense, set in the near-future at the time of the game's release, begins in the year 1998. The initial plot centres on increased reports of UFO sightings as tales of abductions and rumors of attacks by mysterious aliens become widespread.
The game takes place within two distinct views, called the Geoscape and the Battlescape. As described by GameSpy, UFO: Enemy Unknown "...melds an SSI Gold Box RPG with a highly detailed 4X game like Master of Orion, making it in some ways two entirely different games."
