Aliens versus Humans for Android
I was one of the players of the original game. Amazing translation of a great turn based, tactical game. Does it have a panic feature for my soldiers?
This tries to be a faithful X-Com clone, but falls short in several areas: Controls are fiddly, it's very difficult to select exactly who/where you want. There's no path finding to future turns, only where you can move in this turn. You can see aliens, you get the [1] box, those aliens can reaction fire you, but go to shoot them and "no LOS to that location", what? There's no way to force fire on a location you can't see, like to break through a wall. Overall disappointing. Play Xenowar or OpenXcom instead.
A lot of things could have been done better imo.This is one of these "has potential" game, fun but so limited and so unfinished. Still I'll throw in a generous rating for the effort !
I think the game is great.. How bout something like shooting down alien craft and more weapons and armor along with underwater missions..
Would love to see this expand with base attacks and slots for soldiers to carry more weapons. Also alien bases but it's a lovely remake for sure
Like meeting a dear old friend. Graphics are good, AI is sneaky. Only problem is it tends to crash quite often.
Feels almost exactly like UFO: Enemy Unkown/XCOM: UFO Defense. Fun game with tonnes of replayability and surprising amounts of depth.
A stripped down version of an old favourite. Not as basic as Lazer Squad though! Huge fun but I need an ending....
Xcom with zoom, choice of soundtrack, and color choices for soldiers? Yes please. Got a glitch where I can't return a ship to its original base but still more than worth it at this price.
Got into a mission but keeps crashing when ending turn. Need help. I load a saved game but same result
Hey! Why isnt there UFO's? The process of taking down UFO's and upgrading aircraft for more demanding UFO's was really fun in XCOM!
PERFECT!!!All im looking for in a strategy app but my only pain is whenever I try to name my soldiers and it turns black and they never get re named :c
The Gods have blessed us this day! Epic Job!
I was very glad to find an xcom clone. The game ran fine, no bugs.
For those of us who miss the original XCOM. Could use more variety of creepy sound themes. There's no alien ufo's to explore or shoot down. But its still authentic and captivating. Worth the money. No glitches or issues at all. Also, I play it with a mouse and it plays great.
Ive played to mission 18 . . . . . do the aliens use grenades and other weapons than just lasers? Good game. Hope you guys will add more to it over time
Simplified version of xcom but still keeping core elements. Only improvement would be a little bit more to the ending :)
This game reminds me a lot of the classic xcom games. My favorite from back in the day. 5 STARS!!!
Grac
I can choose campaign and tutorial, but when I do tutorial game crashes immediately. Try campaign I can get to choose new game, save game, etc but once I choose an option crashes immediately. Using a Samsung galaxy note 5, very disapointed.
Will not load
Brilliant game it's always going to be hard to translate a game of this complicity onto a small device & the developer has done a very good job. So much gameplay for such a small outlay. You really have nothing to lose just the time playing it!
The interface of this game feels somewhat clunky and really wants to be played with a mouse. With that said, if you can endure a bit of UI pain and amateur graphics, the game is a decent x-com ersatz. If you liked the original PC game, you'll have fun with this.
Just like the good ol days. Its actually a nice break from XCOM Enemy Within. Simplicity, but still dynamic.
If the original X-COM games remain the ones you still haul out and play every year, then this is the game for you. Easily the best adaptation for Android. Bravo to the development team. Well worth every penny. It's a tough game that will give you hours and hours of great play. Highly recommended.
Ive played to mission 18 . . . . . do the aliens use grenades and other weapons than just lasers? Good game. Hope you guys will add more to it over time
Played every XCOM game a jillion times. Thirty seconds into this game, very first mission. Everything totally black, even inside the room I'm in. Can't see even where to move inside the room. Turned every character around and its still black. Moving still doesnt illuminate the room I'm in unless I leave the room and come back in. Restarted the game, same thing every time. This can't be intentional and if it is its dumb. Would request a refund but its past the auto refund time and it will be more of a hassle to try to get my dollar something back than just forget it. Will come back later to see if its fixed but for now uninstalling. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
On campagna can't see the earth plus fix the tutorial 1.0 work well do 5 stars if this fix
Need exit option in menu
Aliens reaction fire so often and so accurately you can march 8 soldiers towards one alien and watch all die before catching a glimpse of its location. During alien movement they can even wipe out 5 people that just got off ship without showing you where they fired from even if there are living units that could have see it. Line of site firing had to be turned off as one alien in tall grass was un targetable otherwise. 2 hours wasted and i really wanted it to be enjoyable. I miss xcom.
Awesome game. It just needs a few fine touches ro make it perfect. Namely issues like sending your ships to alien activity. Once you select a ship you cannot unselect it without sending it out. Minor but annoying. Great job overall.
Classic xcom on the go. Small thing, Enemy ai needs a little work, they always fire first before you can see then giving then unfair advantage, but then when in view don't seem to attack soilders very effectively. But I love it. Well done to the developers. :)
Love it, awesome sauce! Back from the days of my old 486 with 3.25 floppy! Only one thing, I remember fighting aliens with only laser pistols and plasma pistols and little or no armor for the first couple of months in the original, this seems to have laser cannons and plasma cannons at the third mission ive been on. Well outgunned I believe. But well worth the money! Great job devs!
I loved xcom series. Was waiting for android version. But app stops at times (crashes), should deserve 5 stars. Add a scroll controls? Hard to select map point next to a soldier
Simplified version of xcom but still keeping core elements. Only improvement would be a little bit more to the ending :)
Great xcom homage. Takes me back to the old days. Due to developer contact I have changed my star from 3 to 5 as they explained you can drag the box. I'm still hoping for a screen rotate though guys :) I know it's a lot to ask but hey, no harm in asking. Keep up the great work guys.
I was very glad to find an xcom clone. The game ran fine, no bugs.
If you like the old xcom games such as terror from the deep then you will love this as it is very similar in terms of graphics and game play.
I doubted when people said "this is Xcom" but it is. It really is. Masterfully done. I would have paid more, and want a wiki for it.

Awesome, awesome re-imagining of the original that took me straight back to my 16 bit glory days. Hidden movement has never been so fast! Trying to pull together a gameplay video so other old timers can get a taste of it. Congratulations!
