Afterlight is a mixture of squad based tactical action and global strategy with the gamer controlling the actions of elite ground troops, and the running and construction of an intricate network of interlinking bases while collecting resources. New and unexpected enemies appear in the form of robots, built centuries ago by the unknown aliens for their protection, whose purpose is to eliminate any traces of other civilizations on Mars.  It is the player's mission to guide the human race to, not only survive on the red planet, but stave off its' virtual extinction.

"It is our intention to partner with great companies like Cenega Publishing and developer Altar games in order to bring quality titles like Afterlight to our shores in 2007" says Topware's managing director James Seaman.

UFO: Afterlight is scheduled to hit North American retail market on April 24th.
