	[http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/information XCOM: Enemy Unknown] (aka XCOM: EU or simply EU), released 9th ~~Oct~~ 2012 in the USA and 12th ~~Oct2012 in Europe~~, is a video game (for the '''PC, XBox360, PS3, OSX and iOS''' platforms) wherein the player is in charge of an elite paramilitary organization called XCOM. XCOM: EU is a restart of the 'X-Com' series of games that began in 1994 with [[X-COM\|UFO: Enemy Unknown]] (aka X-Com: UFO Defense). ~~Extraterrestrials are attacking Earth and it is your job to defend the planet. "''Good luck Commander.''"~~		[http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/information XCOM: Enemy Unknown] (aka XCOM: EU or simply EU), released on October 9th, 2012 in the USA and October 12th, 2012 on the rest of the world, is a video game (for the '''PC, XBox360, PS3, OSX and iOS''' platforms) wherein the player is in charge of an elite paramilitary organization called XCOM, tasked with defending Earth from extraterrestrials that are attacking the planet. XCOM: EU is a restart/remake of the 'X-Com' series of games that began in 1994 with [[X-COM\|UFO: Enemy Unknown]] (aka X-Com: UFO Defense).

	Like its predecessors, EU is a unique game blending a ~~strategy~~ "Geoscape" with a tactical combat "Battlescape". In terms of overall strategy, you are tasked with ~~building~~ a [[XCOM Headquarters (EU2012)\|base]], [[Research (EU2012)\|researching technology]], [[Engineering (EU2012)\|translating]] that into [[Weapons (EU2012)\|gear]], equipping [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|soldiers]] & [[Hangar (EU2012)\|aircraft]], managing [[Situation Room (EU2012)\|global politics]] to secure [[The Council (EU2012)\|funding]], choosing & planning [[Missions (EU2012)\|missions]], managing soldiers' [[Abilities (EU2012)\|abilities]], and more. In terms of tactical combat, you choose every move and action of each of your soldiers.		Like its predecessors, EU is a unique game blending a strategic "Geoscape" (a.k.a. Hologlobe) with a tactical combat "Battlescape". In terms of overall strategy, you are tasked with management of a [[XCOM Headquarters (EU2012)\|base]], [[Research (EU2012)\|researching technology]], [[Engineering (EU2012)\|translating]] that into [[Weapons (EU2012)\|gear]], equipping [[Soldiers (EU2012)\|soldiers]] & [[Hangar (EU2012)\|aircraft]], managing [[Situation Room (EU2012)\|global politics]] to secure [[The Council (EU2012)\|funding]], choosing & planning [[Missions (EU2012)\|missions]], managing soldiers' [[Abilities (EU2012)\|abilities]], and more. In terms of tactical combat, you choose every move and action of each of your soldiers.

	Having total control over every aspect of ~~the~~ XCOM ~~agency~~ is meaningful; every success bolsters a sense of accomplishment, while every veteran's 'perma-death' and subsequent replacement by a minimally-skilled rookie feels like a gut punch from a [[Berserker (EU2012)\|Muton Berserker]]. Choose wisely, and you just might lay waste to the alien baddies. Choose poorly, and may not be able to protect the Funding Council nations or even survive a combat mission.		Having total control over every aspect of XCOM is meaningful; every success bolsters a sense of accomplishment, while every veteran's 'perma-death' and subsequent replacement by a minimally-skilled rookie feels like a gut punch from a [[Berserker (EU2012)\|Muton Berserker]]. Choose wisely, and you just might lay waste to the alien baddies and stop their evil intentions. Choose poorly, and may not be able to protect the Funding Council nations or even survive a combat mission.

	Lead Designer Jake Solomon ~~is known for describing~~ the ~~'one thing that ''is''~~ XCOM' as being consequences: no shot can be taken for granted and every choice you make in the game could have a impact. And when something goes ~~very~~, ~~very wrong at~~ the worst possible moment, 'That's XCOM, baby!'		Lead Designer Jake Solomon has described the XCOM as being about consequences: no shot can be taken for granted and every choice you make in the game could have a impact. And when something goes wrong, it will usually go during the worst possible moment. Solomon has coined up this feeling with the phrase: ''That's XCOM, baby!'

			On November 12th, 2013 (US) and 15th (rest of the world), a new DLC called [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)\|XCOM: Enemy Within DLC]] was released as a purchasable expansion to Enemy Unknown, containing several new features. Other previous released [[DLC (EU2012)\|DLCs]] include the [[Elite Soldier Pack DLC (EU2012)\|Elite Soldier Pack]] (included on game pre-orders and available for purchase), the [[Slingshot DLC (EU2012)\|Slingshot DLC]] (available for purchase) and [[Second Wave (EU2012)\|Second Wave]] (free download). Firaxis has announced that it plans to release the '''XCOM: Enemy Unknown Complete Edition''' in 2014 that will include all previous DLCs.

	==Difficulty Levels==		==Difficulty Levels==
	* Easy - new to XCOM or tactical games		XCOM: Enemy Unknown has 4 [[Difficulty (EU2012)\|difficulty]] levels:

	** ''Red Fog'' - Any wounds taken in combat will degrade a soldier's stats for ~~that mission~~.
	** ''~~Absolutely Critical~~'' ~~- A flanking shot will guarantee a critical hit.~~
	** ''~~The Greater Good'' - The secret~~ of ~~psionics can only be learned by interrogating~~ a ~~psionic alien.~~
	** ''Marathon'' - The game takes considerably longer to ~~complete~~.

	** ''High Stakes'' - The rewards granted for stopping alien abductions are randomized.
	** ''~~Diminishing Returns~~'~~' - The cost of satellites increases with every one that is built.~~

	** ''~~E-115~~'' ~~- Elerium stores will degrade over time.~~
	** ''~~Alternate Sources~~'' ~~- The power requirements of all facilities are increased.~~

	~~Note~~: ~~The Impossible difficulty is arguably unfair, in~~ that ~~bad luck in Geoscape alone can make you lose your game, even with~~ the ~~best play~~. ~~Consider yourself warned if you plan on tackling Impossible difficulty with Ironman Mode~~.
