Posted on October 5, 2012, Kevin Thielenhaus XCOM: Enemy Unknown Achievements

There’s plenty of glory to gain in XCOM: Enemy Unknown thanks to the punishingly difficult achievements. Enemy Unknown is going back to the original XCOM in its premise and plot; aliens have invaded Earth, and only the internationally taskforce known as XCOM can stop the threat from outer space. To really cater to the oldschool fans, Firaxis has added a Classic difficulty mode to really put you to the test. The original XCOM games were punishingly difficult, and sending your team of agents against alien scum always resulted in a high mortality rate. Check out more classic difficulty achievements below

Crush the alien invasion with Game Front’s XCOM: Enemy Unknown walkthrough. You can find more alien intel with our XCOM cheats where we’ll list any extra information we can find.
