Act of War

Act of War is a turn-based, tactical squad combat game that shares a number of similarities with the later X-COM series, but also has similarities to Laser Squad. The game is played over a series of missions and can be played as a co--op with a friend. It also features a level editor.

The missions are complex and vary a lot. For example in the mission "Escape", the year is 2165. Three squad members have been found quilty of a number of crimes and sent to a futuristic space prison what they now must escape from. One of them managed to sneak in a plastic explosive. while the other two are stuck in their cells. So, if the first squad member can break out, obtain a gun, free his comrades, teleport onto a nearby shuttle, kill the crew and destroy the targeting computer with a grenade, they might just have a chance.
