History of game abandonment
This developer likes to abandon their games on other platforms, leaving people who paid for them without the product they bought functioning. I don’t expect it to work for a lifetime, but they truly love abandoning games.
No Undo
The game is really good, but it is missing the option to undo the last move. This is less a problem on PC, but playing it on a phone becomes annoying if you fail to finish a mission within a certain amount of turns, just because you miss-clicked.
Cost???
Said $12 and I got charged $51
Continued support!
Purchased in August of 2017. Great title that has seen YEARS of continued support. The devs treat iOS like Steam.
Needs update for newer devices
Dev is updating his other games not this one
Best game on mobile.
Just do yourself a favor and pick it up ;)

I would love to write another review post update here, but I'm still rocking iOS 7...
So I guess my love affair with the Trese Brothers comes to an end here with their movement of everything up to iOS 8+... At least until I get a newer device with more space...
**update**
WOW that was a long time ago (in iOS land anyway). Been rockin’ this on my iP11 and aaaaah!! I almost forgot how mindblowingly amazing this one is.
It’s the title that got me into the Trese Bros, and I’ll always have a warm spot in my gamer memory for it.
And my, how FAR they’ve come too!! The sequel to Star Traders has me drooling just thinking of what they could do with a sequel to T.B.!!!!
The amount of depth that’s here is already crazy, but I thought the same of the OG S.T.!!
Just wanted to say that you guys rock!! I’m so psyched that I can play your games again!!! It was always kind of a letdown after the iOS 8 bump and seeing on the forums that another update I couldn’t get had dropped. But now it’s almost like a Version 1.5 Bonus Edition DLC for almost every game!!
=D
So glad you’re still porting titles to mobile, as it’s the main way I’ve always played your titles. PC is great and all, but its hard to beat being able to play on a device that’s always in your pocket.
Can’t wait to see what you all come up with moving forward!! I have ZERO doubts it’ll completely blow our hair back.
Oh... if you’re a strategy fan, this is a MUST BUY AT ANY PRICE!!! It’s beyond worth the $10 price tag and the only thing that’s really come close to the depth and fun that I’ve had with FFT, especially once you’ve played a few games and try to take on the upper difficulties... because THAT is where this game TRUELY shines. That it’s short enough to not need a dedicated 80 hours to beat (I think it’s about 20-30 hours long, depending on your play-style), and you can take your leveled up/powered up Xeno-butt-kicking team into a New Game+, which is where you can get DEEP into those skill trees and really see the synergy that’s possible between multiple teammates.
And then, if you’re so inclined, since there’s multiple paths you can take in each stage as well as branching story paths, you can keep the adventurous feeling strong by focusing on different parts of the skill trees, different classes and unlock more of the totally 💯 % NOT cheesy story line (being serious here.... it really was pretty surprising to me how well the devs put everything together story-wise).
Really, strategy fans, GET THIS GAME! Even newcomers that are just a little bit interested in strategy games, the lower difficulties are PERFECT for those who aren’t so familiar with the genre. It can be a bit technical, but there’s loads of room for experimentation and unless you’re playing on the most hardened difficulties, you’ll never really feel like you made a completely regrettable decision when spending skill points or switching up gear.
I could keep going, but if you’re still reading this, you’re waisting valuable Xeno-squashing time!!! I mean really, if you’ve read all this, you’re obviously interested enough to take the plunge. Trese Bros keep their games updated whenever new hardware comes out, and are always quick to respond to any issues you might run into. They really have been one of the absolute very best, top tier dev teams on the AppStore when it comes to squashing bugs and sorting out any new operating system or hardware blips that can arise.
It’s because of this that I’ve bought every game they’ve made available on mobile AND on Steam.
And look at that, I kept going.

Fun but now buggy
I like the game, but after coming back to it after a pause I find with the new iOS I keep ending up in a state where I cannot scroll or zoom (which makes it unplayable)
5 stars
Old-school crunchy turn-based tactics. If shooting bugs with walking tanks piloted by religious zealots sounds like fun, have I got an alternative to 40k for you!
Deep, extensive turn based strategy
A must have for any turn based strategy fan. By far one of the best games on App Store, feels like a PC game experience.
Great game
Great game...
Devs; only thing that really bugs me is I want to listen to Audible but the game always takes over the the sound even if muted please fix!

Awesome!
One of the best turn based RPGs on the App Store!
The devs have added tons of support and free features since release. Still hoping for iCloud support some day though.

Great but needs ...
Save slots like STF.
Some folks hate rogue-likes but otherwise enjoy games like this.
Please give us non-roguers some love. ;)

Best strategy game on mobile
Just finished the campaign on Normal and have restarted on demanding. This game is satisfying, interesting, fun, demanding, everything you could want from a strategy game. The story is compelling and the way the military forces fit into the society and view themselves is surprisingly nuanced. An absolute joy and worth every penny of the asking price.

Wonderful game
I don't often write reviews, but this game deserves one. Regularly updated and improved on, it's what the games workshop games should be. Great story, massive upgrade tree, huge game.
I agree that a random skirmish generator would be fun, but all the levels are so well put together I can't really complain!

Very awesome game!
I’m playing TB on an iPad 12.9 and iPad 10.5 with newest iOS. Why three stars?
Sometimes the sound crashes and you have to restart the app.
When you zoom out, sometimes you can’t zoom in again. You have to restart.
Everything else is fantastic.
Update 19.05.2019
Still the same bugs like before. When zooming out, the game crashes. And still the same sound problems.

Good game
Good game, but for the price I’d expect this to be full screen on newer devices.
❤️ TB Games!
My iPad Pro thanks you. Keep up the amazing work, gentlemen!
Constant updates!
Have been playing this game on PC and liked it!
Now would like to play it more on the go. iPhone X support is not here yet but would be nice to have.

No iCloud Sync
Otherwise a great game.
