Yeah. That is one of the reasons I never completed TfTD. Some others were - Aquanauts can't swim upwards - how hard could it be?
The technologies have really sucky names
It's really, really hard
the aliens for the most part were awful
Under the sea is bad enough, but door-to-door searches on the ships?

No! ARRGH!

Plus, your soldiers didn't go it was more like

'Hello I am aqaunaut number 2 :whistle: You may shoot me now if you like, or you could wait until I can't even see you :whistle: '

LOL good move, mate!

If you don't want mediocrity don't play TfTD or indeed Apocalype (although I'm probably gonna get lynched for that)

Just play the orginal! WOOO! BREAK THE CHAINS!

Yeah... that's enough rebelling for one day.

Top TfTD tip of the day : Get gauss tanks asap - they own the other tanks.

If there is a game that is not worth playing then it's Aftermath. I'd play TFTD anytime instead of playing that extremely crappy game.

Even TFTD is superior to Aftermath in every aspect. I don't like 3D.

Well maybe...
I actually dont even thing that Aftermath is part of "Ufo family" But it is quite enoyable game althought it has many bugs and is absurd difficult sometimes.I agree,if you waited sequel to ufo and X-com it was a quite disapointing,but it is good tactical game...

Aftermath really crosses the line from the X-Com games which are more strategic to games like Silent Storm (I think it is called that) which is really a tactical strategy game.

Whilst I do miss the geoscape element of the game, I think that Aftermath is still a good game.

TfTD not only didn't improve on the orginal's graphics or gameplay, IMO it actually made it worse.

At the start of the game, it is nearly impossible to get anywhere due to the awful weapons you start with, and it doesn't get any easier as the game goes on.

The graphics are worse (more pixellated) and the environment you fight in gets very boring quickly.

Anyway, that's enough ranting.
