Leave a Review Aliens versus Humans
Unplayable
Buyer be ware!!! This game is unplayable and freezes when you attempt to play! Also the game only plays in one third of the screen! Worst purchase ever and I had to contact customer support to get a refund for this trash!bockhold9
Terrible
Relived by teen years of playing X-Com. Plays great on the iPad, and its just the right amount of difficulty. Edit: Now it's list another crap-filled micro-transaction game.Juliocezarmari

Has great potential...
This game will give you the feel of the original x-com, but it lacks the polish and is a great work in progress. I commend the author for their efforts and hope that they continue to engineer the depth and polish that could make this 3-star fun game into a 5-star must have. I hope they keep at it and the project doesn't fester like most things on the App Store.Show lessianfcohen
Get your X-COM FIX!
The tech tree is to small and the ending a bit anticlimactic. The graphics and some of the gameplay has been simplified, but it's still fun to kill aliens, do an autopsy on them, and then sell their corpse for money! Do the under water one next! :-)DBatDagger
Fun but a little shallow
I was so excited to find this game since I was feeling nostalgic for the original X-COM game. And this is a good fun imitation that works fairly well on my IPad. However, it's a little buggy, with bad physics programming in many situations (try standing up and throwing a grenade over a waist-high picket fence).
The biggest shortcoming, though, is that it just isn't as deep as the original. The old PC game was spooky and scary due to the plot (when the aliens start abducting your marines and playing mind control games on them, for example), but even the 2.0 version of AvH doesn't really have a plot. It's just one fight after another, with no sense that the aliens are improving at the same time the humans are.
I still enjoyed it quite a bit and recommend this game. But it's very shallow.Show lessToddBradley404
Pretty good, well worth price
This is lacking in some aspects of XCOM UFO Defense, such as air combat, base assaults, terror missions with civvies running around, some grenade features, but for the most part it's a pretty good port for the low price. They are working on another related version with multiplayer (I'm in the beta), and that is quite a lot of fun too.Show lessTJPride
Rewarding Turn-Based Strategy
This game feels like the original X-Com from 1994, and I am having a blast playing it. I'm not entirely sure how much of my enjoyment of this game is due to nostalgia, but I don't care. The turn-based combat is brutal - especially when compared to titles with a more modern aesthetic. But surviving those difficult battles is part of the fun. I definitely recommend this game.Show lessJasonTzu
OG XCOM at its finest
If I didn't know better I would say this game was created by microprose themselves. The art design of the aliens is not as unique as the original, but the game plays exactly like the original game we all loved.
It's a shame how underrated this game is, it truly is masterpiece of fandom and I am grateful for the dedication the developer put into providing us with this nostalgic experiance on the mobile platform.Show lessTheskepticaldesigner
Classic X-Com in All It's Glorious Glory
I loved the game as a kid. This game is everything I had hoped. Including the nearly iPad Throw inducing random critical hit from an alien smugly hiding in the shadows (you can see the smug on his green, featureless face). Who can forget being gunned down by friendly fire as Kilwoski finally snaps and rage-quits your squad while yelling "Game Over Man! Game Over!"
Ok, the game is retro in appearance, however the gameplay is every bit the equal of, and likely surpasses, it's modern counterparts.
Just game (no IAP at the time of this review), and I keep coming back to, second only to Star Base Orion, in my go-to library.
Wonderful game. Responsive company.Show lessXaphod.42
