X-COM Enforcer is an action-packed 3rd person shooter full of fast-paced, continuous excitement. You take on the role of the X-COM Enforcer, the ultimate robotic super soldier armed with deadly equipment and combat skills that help you destroy the hordes of alien invaders. You will be confronted with a series of missions with one or more objectives that your Enforcer must complete before you advance to the next mission.

As aliens are destroyed, they will spawn Data Points that you must collect before they disappear. At the end of each mission, you will advance to the Research and Development screen, where the Data Points you have collected will let you upgrade your Enforcer with better weapons, enhancements and power-ups.
