Last October, 2K Games and studio Firaxis launched XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a stellar turn-based strategy game for PCs and video game consoles that delivered incredible depth, smooth controls and intense combat.
Now, it’s available on your iPhone and iPad.
No, this isn’t a streamlined game, or a completely different entity tied to the XCOM universe. This is the full XCOM: EU experience for a tablet and smartphone. Although it carries a $19.99 price tag, which sounds really pricey in the mobile gaming space, the quality level is the closest any mobile game has gotten to a PC or console.
If this is your first time playing XCOM: EU, the game features a covert agency working to protect the world from a growing alien threat. The game features turn-based combat, as players alternate turns with alien foes to complete a variety of missions ranging from thwarting alien abductions to investigating downed UFOs.
