USC: Counterforce

This turn-based tactical game is set in a science-fiction world where a squad of space commandos is sent to the planetary body M-8322 to investigate an alien threat. In the story-driven campaign, the commander leads a fleet, manages bases on the planet’s surface, handles requests from factions, and defends relay stations that connect the fleet to Earth. Procedural generation and multiple possible outcomes shape the campaign.

Players manage their squad’s composition, skills, equipment, and weapons. Combat allows the team to use cover, traps, mines, and turrets, hack systems, and alter destructible surroundings; enemies can interact with the environment as well. Alongside the campaign, the game features customizable single missions, multi-mission operations, a base-defense mode, and cooperative play.
