The game features is in “2.5D”, Meaning it has 2D hand-drawn character sprites and 3D modeled levels. The gamefollows Scrooge McDuck who travels the world in search of treasures to further increase his fortune.
This one is worth checking out for nostalgia alone.

The game came from the mind of Alexey Pajitnov, best known as the creator of Tetris. Not really much else to say on the game.

Your in control of the first line of defense, known as XCOM, and must command troops on the field during the turn-based tactical missions and research and develop new technologies from recovered alien technology in between missions. All whilst expanding the XCOM base of operations, managing the finances and learning to deal with the tragedy that is… perma death.

This game should come as no surprise as its part of next months games with gold, but those who already own it can play it from today onward!
