UFO: Alien Invasion 2.4 Released for Linux

UFO: Alien Invasion is a free and open source strategy game featuring turn-based tactical combat against hostile alien forces (human or computer controlled) which are infiltrating earth at this very moment. The game is heavily influenced by the X-COM series (mostly by UFO: Enemy Unknown).

You are in command of a small special unit which has been founded to face the alien strike force. To be successful in the long run, you must research the alien technology in order to build bigger and better weapons against your foes.

A new version of the game has been released with many new features and fixes:

• A dozen new maps to battle aliens
• Rescue soldiers in dropships shot down by aliens and retreat from battles
• New particle and sound effects for weapons
• Support for smoke and incendiary effects
• New skirmish options to save squads and respawn aliens
• Battlescape render speed dramatically improved
• Many fixes. Full changelog here
