I need this. The whole gaming industry needs this. Welcome back XCOM!

agreed. games got deeper and deeper for years, then cod hit crazy popularity and suddenly they started "dumbing" down every game. ( which doesnt even make sense because as mainstream as cod is, cod is still a pretty deep game ) but still, every publisher decided on less depth, and as a result, games got worse. hopefully this will sell well and make them realize that more complex games are typically better and can still sell.

Agreed 100%.

And i hope eveyone tries Ironman mode at least once to see what it is like to play a game where your choices ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING.

The lowest review to this game being a single 8.5 (every other review being 9.0 to 10.0) is heart-warming.

hopefully this game is good on consoles too, I mean I know especially controls will be better on PC. I plan on picking it up for ps3, I need a good strategy game.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930178d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183178d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930177d ago (Edited 177d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
