Release and Reception
Aftershock was released to PAL regions on 21 October 2005 and to North America on 23 November 2005. The game received mixed critical reviews upon release and is notoriously buggy even after several released patches. A sequel and third game in the series was released two years after Aftershock titled, UFO: Afterlight, to execute the same concept on Mars. UFO: Aftershock is protected by the controversial StarForce copy protection software on all store sold copies of the game. The game was re-released by GOG.com, a digital distribution video game retailer, without any copy protection.
The publisher granted a license to the Czech company Redboss Games, a subsidiary of Redboss, which they used to create a mobile version of UFO: Aftershock.

Famous quotes containing the words release and, release and/or reception:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
