UFO Online

UFO Online: Fight for Earth was Funatics and gamigo's free-to-play, browser-based tactical MMO, styled after X-COM. Three warring human factions fought aliens and each other in turn-based battles, with base-building and weapon crafting layered on top — the service has since been shut down.

Why you might like it

  • A turn-based tactical browser MMO clearly inspired by the X-COM series, standing out from the era's real-time-heavy browser MMO crowd.
  • Three warring human factions (American Stability Pact, Central Economic Federation, Ruling Confederation East) gave both PvE alien-fighting and PvP faction conflict a clear narrative hook.
  • Base-building and weapon crafting/upgrading added a strategic-management layer on top of its tactical combat.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • UFO Online: Fight for Earth has been shut down — gamigo's service is confirmed offline, so treat any surviving links as historical archives.
  • As a gamigo free-to-play title, it used a microtransaction model where paying could speed up PvE progress, even though all content was reachable for free.
  • Detailed population and long-term support data were never well documented outside period gaming-press coverage from its 2011-2013 beta era.
