Phoenix Point might be finished, but Julian Gollop probably won't ever stop thinking about X-COM.
Did you know Julian Gollop has written four columns for us, including subjects like the creation of the deckbuilder genre? X-COM: UFO Defense, known as UFO: Enemy Unknown here in the UK, is an integral part of PC gaming history. It was part of the MicroProse glory days of the mid-'90s, when ground-breaking strategy games were being spat out at an unbelievable rate. It spawned sequels, questionable spin-offs, and multiple successors, spiritual and otherwise.
Gollop also notes all the interesting turn-based tactical RPGs that continue to appear, especially the ones that draw from tabletop games, like Wildermyth and Gloomhaven. With this greater overlap between tabletop and digital, and so many more people getting into board games, there's an incredible amount of diversity, both in terms of the audience and the games themselves.
Some of that ambitious vision caused issues initially, however, like the evolving alien threat that responded to player actions."It did work kind of according to plan," says Gollop,"but the players didn't really see it very clearly, or it felt a little bit too random. One of our early complaints was difficulty spikes, because the aliens had developed some appendage, which was quite dangerous to the player, and they started using it because it was effective.
