Freezes

End turn one the thing freezes. Used to work. Don’t buy.

Please fix….this game was amazing!!!

Unplayable as it freezes when it’s the aliens turn. I loved this game. Reminded me of the old X-com I grew up watching my dad play on the computer in the 90’s. You guys did great on it…please update it!!!

Doesn’t work

The game looks cool but it does not work, thus don’t waste your time trying to play as it freeze as soon as you end your turn… impossibile to play the game. Such a pity…

Close to the original Xcom

I have played everything xcom over the years and this is very close to the original. It had a good story, the tactical part is very good and the range of aliens is very interesting. It has easily burned away hours on the train! Of course more can be added, but given the resources of the developers I'm very impressed! Also no tricks to get your money, I hope for more content!

I want to enjoy it

It has the foundation needed to be a great mobile Xcom. Anytime I try to play onslaught as soon as I end my turn it just crashes. Not sure if there is any active support anymore but please fix this.
