I’ve been playing this game for many years, and it has always been a beautiful and enjoyable experience. I’m happy to know that it is once again available for iOS 26. In the past, it was negatively affected by the lack of updates, but it’s great to see that you continue working to keep it alive and up to date. Keep up the great work!
- Dr Spagnos · v1.4.0
I played for 10 min before I couldn’t move ahead on this game. I have an iPhone15 so it may be something to do with a newer phone working on an older game. But it looks for enemies that aren’t there in the tutorial so there are no other options for me to move forward.
- EFN fair · v1.4.0
This game has only gotten buggier over time. The elevation controls no longer work. Neither the buttons nor the swipe actions to change elevation are responsive. There’s no support for this game anymore, so it’s just stuck being broken. They got their money, and now they’re done with us. SHAME!
- Master P C · v1.4.0
I love the computer version, but I just launched a game on this app and after the first successful abduction mission, the game crashes. I’m on iPhone 17, iOS 26.5.1, and the link to support says 403…
- VeryVeryOriginalNickname3 · v1.4.0
Great, great game. MAJOR issue is that for whatever reason and randomly, the game will crash out and exit itself after some successful mission. As you imagine, VERY FRUSTRATING. There is no way to recover, even if going back to a previous save. Have to uninstall and reinstall. NO! I ended buying a cheap Windows laptop to play it that way.
- manavm1990 · v1.4.0
Wouldn’t let me move my guy even though he had 2 bars I had to restart. Tried reloading and overwatch but every time I hit accept it did nothing. Also add controller support. Please at the very least fix the bugs.
- Bkrenfro · v1.4.0
Need controller support
- Mehh j · v1.4.0
Cannot us controls that allow units to change access different higher levels, makes it unplayable
- Dani0Main · v1.4.0
I love this game
- Vasektuta · v1.4.0
Pretty much unplayable. This game hijacks your audio output. Who TF wants audio from other apps forcibly disabled? What a waste.
- etryvubyinoim · v1.4.0
The game itself is really fun with the combat and the resource management. However, I have to give it a low score due to a game crashing bug that is causing the game to terminate once I complete a mission. I reloaded two saves with two different missions and the same thing happens. It’s forced me to restart the game and waste the hours I placed in. Not even going to bother if there’s no guarantee this will happen again.
- Gavin5578 · v1.4.0
Can you make this to where you can play it with the backbone for a phone
- Dev0812 · v1.4.0
Game is really fun. Love the strategy, advancing tech, and my base. Sound track is pretty cool too. The game does crash a lot on IOS though. You can work around this by making an icloud save. I would recommend making one every time you get back to your base. The game will sometimes crash at the end of a mission which sucks. Not quite sure why. When that happens you’re gonna want to delete the game, redownload, and then load the icloud save from your base before that mission. I don’t know why this works exactly, but it allows me to actually progress now. If that was issue was fixed this game would be perfect. I’m still gonna give it 5 stars because I loved playing this as a kid too.
- Annoyed Plebeian · v1.4.0
The most entertaining game I have played in a grip! Worth the free download. You heard?
- Ganoidsd · v1.4.0
I love the game, but I can’t use my backbone controller
- Tyepo37 · v1.4.0
Lo único que falta en una actualización con los diálogos en español .
- c.palomino · v1.4.0
Absolutely legendary strategy game
- riketycricket · v1.4.0
I absolutely love this Xcom and Xcom 2! in depth strategy and tactics. This is hands down the best turn based strategy game available on iOS.
- kztoo · v1.4.0
Even after deleting and re-installing, there aren’t any sounds, music, anything. Like trying to play on mute.
- Jedrek417 · v1.4.0
Bought this after playing the XCOM 2 collection on IOS. This game is so inferior to the other in terms of how it feels and controls. The camera is awful and the main reason I can’t get into the game. Needs to be updated to a free cam like XCOM 2.
- Mattj5696 · v1.4.0
Add controller support please
- Kneecapkarl · v1.4.0
I had it for xbox 360 and I can take it mobile. 💪🏼
- RealtalkJones · v1.4.0
Haven’t made it passed the tutorial because the game keeps crashing. Controls are meh. Not sure why this buggy mess is an Editor’s Choice? Makes me worry about buying any other games on the iPhone if this is award winning.
- Smoljarean · v1.4.0
I only gave a 4 star instead of 5 sadly. The only reason for that was because of the missing missions that are not in the iOS version! They were fun story missions that should have been left in the iOS version. Don’t get me wrong though, the game is still amazing! I still absolutely love the xcom games! I have a blast just playing whenever I want on the phone. Hope everyone gets to experience this game! Still one of the best tactical turn based games ever made! If possible though play the PC version which has everything included.
- Wolfing086 · v1.4.0
Decepción
- Piñyplay · v1.4.0
I’m a longtime fan of this series and have games released on the PS3 and PS4. I recently purchased a Backbone controller and was hoping to use it to play this game on my phone but unfortunately controllers aren’t currently supported.
- Skye Badel · v1.4.0
I was able to complete the entire storyline without a single issue. Played great on my IPhone 15.
- Bench Bird · v1.4.0
This is by far the worst game I have ever played. Every two seconds the tutorial softlocks somehow, forcing me to reload the game to try something else only to be soft locked again. I don't know what's causing it and I can't even play the game properly because of it. Literally unplayable.
- QuickFeedback · v1.4.0
Such a great game! I have been playing this series since “Terror from the Deep”. I own this on both PC and now my IPad. I am grateful they added it to this platform so I can take it wherever I go. Fantastic game!!!!!!! And so inexpensive!!
- Immortal_Frog · v1.4.0
I just started the tutorial and finished it and got to the HQ. I had to promote the first solider but decided to change his name. I get kicked out. I am on a IPhone 15. It says it is compatible but the bugs persist. Please help. Not just that solider but the whole squad I can not rename. Please release a bug fix or an update. Bug on finishing tutorial ending screen causes crashing Bug in Headquarters trying to rename soldiers. Causes crashing.
- JoeySher · v1.4.0
I have loved this game, since the very first version, many years ago! My Favorite game of all time….A+
- mercs32118 · v1.4.0
Game crashes at every mission success screen. Touch controls are confusing and I often end up with unintended actions. Enemies can unintentionally clip and disappear from view.
- Patrick__P · v1.4.0
After thin man first appears it wont stop crashing. I put like 3 hours in and cant play anymore. Waste. Fix the game
- Tweeker68 · v1.4.0
But need a update it’s bugging
- CPT.BOOM99 · v1.4.0
The camera controls are very clunky, the soldier models look quite awful even for a mobile port, and the game crashes frequently, hard locking your progress
- Puzzlebot769 · v1.4.0
Used to play this on my old desktop when it first came out then bought a copy for my iPhone when it first came out but an iOS update broke it. Every time I see a movie where a squad is moving in reminds me of this came. Decided to buy this again to play on my wife’s iPad and having a blast.
- cafe-dude · v1.4.0
This is a fantastic game and I’ve owned it for years. My only complaint is that recently I’ve had trouble with achievement tracking, such as for completing the game without purchasing squad size upgrades.
- AAGJ1995 · v1.4.0
Достижения не работают 0/all , 4 звезд только из за того, что люблю эту игру и вторую часть тоже , надеюсь исправите достижения
- almasovic · v1.4.0
Can’t play locally with pass and play.
- KryptonianAI · v1.4.0
I fell in love with this game on my PS3. Now I have it on 2 iPads, XBOX 360, and 2 PCs. I have XCOM 2 on the Switch. Dare I say this game is the greatest.
- Achiichoo · v1.4.0
X com needs controller operations
- Ripper210 · v1.4.0
Game runs well. 2024 running a iPhone 11 Pro iOS 17.3. The only reason the star is missing is because the sound effect of the fire I think bugs the game where it can have a static sound and person in XCOM I like the footstep aspect and the subtle sounds to let you know a character could be close but it doesn’t ruin the game you can play with music in the background if you’d like. All the basics of XCOM are there plus some extras. XCOM2s story is better but for $4.99 on the App Store you’ll be able to get your bang for your Buck. - Minor Bug List • Static on Levels with Fire • Grapple On Top of White Moving Van with Maxed Sniper w/ double Tap, next move Shoot Once, any monster that tries to intimidate you you after your shoot it and don’t kill it locks your second action, have to reload game.
- @ItsJustBclark · v1.4.0
Seems like a fun game, except the menus don’t work in several areas. During combat in the second mission, I got stuck in an action menu with no way to go “back.” So I just had to launch an RPG right in my face. Then, at the base after the mission, I clicked into the engineering room and there’s no way to exit. I’m sure this game is fun, but they haven’t ported it in a playable manner to mobile.
- Ye olde reviewer · v1.4.0
There is no sound in the game; moreover, it writes languages, but the choice of language is not Russian or any other, except English.
- Michailov123 · v1.4.0
Bugs bugs and more bugs. I had to clean it up a bit . Hope you don’t mind
- Federalemplyeeee · v1.4.0
Needs to be updated. This game runs well but it’s configured to devices during the IOS 10 era. I would just give it an overhaul or outsource it to keep this Gem in wonderful working order!
- Schattenmeister001 · v1.4.0
None
- Lord Viagra · v1.4.0
Although the is good, it keeps crashing here and there. If iPad pro with M1 can’t run it I don’t know what can. I want refund. If you don’t want to support the game stop selling the game.
- ABMC117 · v1.4.0
Experienced a Soft lock Because of the tutorial VO and placing troops on a small roof like a truck is difficult because it want to place them on the floor next to the roof. These problems however don’t take away that xcom is a great game, especially for 5 dollars
- Weaver134 · v1.4.0
Gameplay with touchscreen is very well done. Wish there were more games like this for ipad
- Xiphix · v1.4.0
The game now CRASHES when you beat any mission on “difficult” or higher. Recommend skipping the purchase. Currently on iPad 9 with iOS Version 17.1
