Oh snap, they've added the sort of stuff that actually makes me want to play the game. Totally worth checking out now.

Do NOT play the Warspace extension. It's a disgusting, crappy thing made to make the game less X-COM and more "generic turn-based strategy game", taking away most of the challenge and gameplay mechanics that made this remake actually feel like the original in spirit. In fact, don't download any "rebalance mod" sans the Second Wave and Rational Warfare ones, as they all suck.

That said, still waiting for someone to make a little girl mod.

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.

What other games were inspired by this game?

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

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

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.
