Overview
About this game
USC: Counterforce is a retro-inspired turn-based squad tactics game set in a tense sci-fi world. You control a strike team of commandos sent out to planetary body M-8322 to investigate and neutralize the remainders of a still mostly-unidentified alien threat. But what you find there may very well change the course of history...
