Screw this game
This game is confusing
SERVERS DOWN?!?!
Can’t play game, won’t even let me into the main menu cause it can’t connect into the servers and won’t let play at all, what’s going on?
Excellent game indeed
I am having tons of fun playing this game. It is very nostalgic, I mostly prefer the interface to the console version, and it runs great, even on my several-years-old iPad.
Phenomenal port of one of my fave games of all time
Played about 30 hours on my iPhone 12 so far and in some respects it’s better than vanilla pc WOTC with plenty of great quality of life features I’m surprised weren’t in the unmodded version on pc. Very smart and snappy control scheme with big chunky buttons that are placed very well, basically the best way to play xcom 2 on the go imo
I never liked the alien rulers DLC but it can easily be turned off by going into your device settings, apps, xcom 2 and choosing which DLCs to activate. WOTC is integrated fully so you can’t remove that if you want the vanilla original experience but WOTC is an excellent expansion
Obviously the game isn’t as high res and crisp as the pc version even on full graphics mode but it still looks excellent, very clear and all the animations, little details and destructible terrain are all there. Some of the textures can look a little bad especially on the lost but it’s absolutely not a deal breaker at all
Runs very smoothly until my phone gets too hot then it chugs a bit but that can be mitigated with the advice below. Only had a crash now and again when making a manual save in 30 hours but it’s definitely very stable plus has plenty of auto saves.
Energy saving mode is great if the device gets too hot (lowers the FPS to let your phone cool off) and best graphics mode heats my phone up a ton but it’s nice to have the option for people with more powerful devices. Generally drains about 1% a minute of battery and I find taking the cover off my phone keeps it from getting too hot and causing the game to stutter. Runs absolutely great as long as you keep on top of the heat issue
I play with energy saving mode when I’m out and about and play performance mode when I have my phone plugged in at home and it runs super well like that
Only thing I really miss is the legacy soundtrack that was included as a free update on the pc version and the after mission photo mode isn’t there, plus the photos you take of bond mates and memorials as low res but these are seriously my only issues and I had to really nitpick for them
Brilliant work by the team who handled the port

It doesn’t load
I have it and the game doesn’t load I played the first one on iOS when I am bored and I don’t have any trouble but this one it’s the complete opposite
Buy it
Buy it.
Such a fun tactical strategy game
This is such a great adaptation of the PC game. 12/10
No server connection
Game cannot be played as there’s no servers
Thank god you updated it
This game is amazing and I’m so happy you guys finally updated it I hope it continues because is one and the first one are very much still used by players
Doesn’t work
Never been able to connect to the server, so paid for a broken game.
Restarted as they asked. Still doesn’t work.

Brilliant port of a classic - bug found though
Cant really fault this, plays and looks better than the ps4 version. Small bug, game crashes when you save while a solider is moving, apart from that hours are lost in this classic
Great game aside from constant crashes
Would be 5/5 but for the continual crashes. Shame
Keeps crashing on iPad
It keeps crashing after the most recent update.
game-breaker: fixed
As of version 1.6.1 cannot open game. It fails in attempt to connect to Feral servers when opened. Cellular & refresh both on. update: Reseting game preferences from Settings solved this issue. Thanks to expedient developer response.
Best turn-based strategy game ever, perfect port
Best turn-based strategy game ever, and a perfect port. Haven’t found anything else quite as deep yet intuitive, other than XCOM 1. Port is perfect, controlling these games via touchscreen actually feels more intuitive than controller or mouse/keyboard.

A MOBILE CLASSIC
I have completed XCOM Enemy Unknown & XCOM 2 War of the Chosen on console. The XCOM 2 collection was a great way to revisit the franchise, and that feel good combat, in a new way.
If you’re looking for a fun mobile strategy game to play down XCOM 2 collection now.

Simply the best
What a game. Played over and over and never bored of it. Worth the money no questions
Hey
This game is a lot of fun….. when it loads up. So far, I’ve only been able to play it once. Otherwise, I get a failure message from the servers not being up.
Can’t play
I can’t play because I can’t connect to yall servers to play a game I downloaded / paid for ???
