Canadian Online Gamers - "It has been a little while since I sat down with a decent turn based game. The last time I enjoyed a game of this nature was April 2011 when I sank my teeth into Ghost Recon Shadow Wars for the 3DS. At the time I considered it a must own for fans of turn based games and 3DS owners alike. I certainly acknowledged it was not for everybody; however, at the time I suggested that many should check out the game if they were a 3DS owner and looking for a good turn based experience. Well much like back then here I am today recommending fans of turn-based games pick up another title, but this time it is XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the Xbox 360. This game will not only satisfy fans of the genre, but it should appease anyone looking for a deep and engaging strategic experience."
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
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.
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.
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.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
