Tri Synergy and Chaos Concept have finally rolled out the first update for their turn-based/real time strategy blend title, UFO: Extraterrestrials. The update is said to finally eliminate a number of annoying glitches and bugs, adding some new features that should improve the gameplay experience.

So without further ado, here's what the update is all about:

- There is an increase of the selling price for most equipment the player can manufacture or capture. - Autosaving is now possible before each mission and the start of every month. - UFO: Extraterrestrials can now be played in more resolutions (1024x768 and higher) - Windowed mode is now supported. - Tactical mode is animated smoother and is greatly enhanced by a variety of useful new hotkeys and available settings (like movement speed for units or scrolling speed). - Extensive hotkey support for both real time and tactical modes.

UFO: Extraterrestrials is a futuristic turn-based RTS blend set on the fictional planet of Esperanza in 2025. Having made a bloody first contact with a strange form of life from another planet, the player has to make difficult decisions in leading the defense of this isolated planet, fighting against the assault of hostile invaders. To accomplish this, the player will have at their disposal squads of soldiers, light and heavy support combat vehicles, robots and air units located in bases throughout the Esperanza.

Basically, this is the kind of game where utilizing tactical-level factors like terrain and cover will win the player fierce battles and, eventually, the war against the alien onslaught! The latest gameplay footage available shows intense tactical situations which players must face when battling against a well-organized and determined enemy force. Wapons include state-of-the-art human weaponry, but also adapted alien technology, salvaged and modified by scientists to be utilized by the brave soldiers defending Esperanza.

So if you're familiar with the upper mentioned features then you must be thrilled to find out that Synergy and Chaos have come up with a glitch solver and to heal all wounds, added some extra features. What are you waiting for? Check out the official Tri Synergy page!
