ParaCom: Adversary Uncertain takes place in the near future, in which the paranormal forces invade and assault our realm. As a result of the attack, the UN formed the first and last line of defense against the aggressors. ParaCom was organized, standing for Paranormal Combat and acting as a shield for every site where enemy activity takes place. The game puts the players as members of the elite multinational paramilitary organization and tasked with defending mankind. Technology will be developed to help defend against the threat and even some abilities and enemy technology will be reverse engineered to be used against them.

The GM sends the troops to the field in a series of tactical missions; between missions, the GM directs the research and development of new technologies from recovered paranormal technology and captured prisoners, expands the base of operations, manages the finances, and monitors and responds to alien activity. The majority of operations will take place across the world, with semi-random picking of the countries.

TLDR version: XCOM: Enemy Unknown but with supernatural elements instead of aliens. Also, when it comes to the boring parts, I will take responsibility.

It is like that, but with the SUPERNATURAL rather than aliens! Expect a lot of ghouls, lycanthropes, demons, etc.

A tip before we kick this off: Play XCOM games to get a feel of what the RP will be like.

I played "Ironman Lite" in that I only load game if I accidentally do something. I don't load when my characters die.

How I beat the game more easily is that I saved often, early, and never overwritten my saves.

As for the RP, I'm thinking players can have up to three characters. Why? Because anyone can die, I will do three strikes. All three characters of yours die and it's game over for you.

Ugh.

There's an all too common bug that I despise that is one of the reasons I always use iron man mode.

The game is stuck on your turn. You can't move, you can't do any actions. The ? Button shows nothing but a red alien symbol at the top (like what you click to bring up the shooting HUD for targeting n stuff and chance to hit.)

Normally, you can fix it by switching to secondary.

However, you can't when you have heavy. So basically, you're screwed if the soldier you chose is a heavy when the bug happened.

Which means I have to bring up the task manager and close it. When I try to play it again, the save is back to where I last saved since auto saving doesn't happen there.

So ironman mode is used a lot because of auto saving.
