TouchGen - Apple’s effort to push iOS as a gaming platform has been apparent from the start, but there is no better evangelist for our faith in iOS-gaming than a real console title. Whereas most other ports for iOS originate from past-gen consoles, XCOM: Enemy Unknown heralds a turning point; the game is ‘just’ one year of age. XCOM: Enemy Unknown was published on consoles and PC last year and received ample praise for rekindling the turn-based genre and reviving the 1994 classic UFO: Enemy Unknown.
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.
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.
