Doesn’t work

Got stuck in the first mission, Operation Spectral Line (Alien Abductions) - Houston, United States 9:17 pm, telling me to select a target but there are none so I can’t move or anything.

Very good, will recommend

This is a great game, although the dialogue during a mission semms to be bugged and take 5 minutes to finish.

X-Gen Game

I have been playing this since when floppy disks existed. They don’t make like this anymore. I enjoy this game very much and I am glad I own many versions of it.

Crashes: do not buy until fixed

Unfortunately this game is unplayable as it crashes frequently, most notably at the end of missions (prohibiting progress) and when trying to rename characters or items

Bad port

Settings do not save upon closing the game. Even the camera is messed up, rotating the opposite way the image says it will

Classic

Yes it is

Great port

A great port to the Apple Store however i wish the graphics could be improved more

Plantage à la fin d'une mission...

Le jeu plante à la fin d'une mission, la sauvegarde semble corrompue. Plantage aussi quand on essaye de renommer un personnage... heureusement il me restait une sauvegarde à la base, mais dès que je joue une mission, j'ai le même plantage à la fin de la mission donc je dois tout recommencer depuis le début !!

Great game

I’ve been playing this game for many years, and it has always been a beautiful and enjoyable experience. I’m happy to know that it is once again available for iOS 26. In the past, it was negatively affected by the lack of updates, but it’s great to see that you continue working to keep it alive and up to date. Keep up the great work!

Extremely buggy

I played for 10 min before I couldn’t move ahead on this game. I have an iPhone15 so it may be something to do with a newer phone working on an older game. But it looks for enemies that aren’t there in the tutorial so there are no other options for me to move forward.

No Support

This game has only gotten buggier over time. The elevation controls no longer work. Neither the buttons nor the swipe actions to change elevation are responsive. There’s no support for this game anymore, so it’s just stuck being broken. They got their money, and now they’re done with us. SHAME!

Game crashes after first mission

I love the computer version, but I just launched a game on this app and after the first successful abduction mission, the game crashes. I’m on iPhone 17, iOS 26.5.1, and the link to support says 403…

Crashes!

Great, great game. MAJOR issue is that for whatever reason and randomly, the game will crash out and exit itself after some successful mission.

As you imagine, VERY FRUSTRATING.

There is no way to recover, even if going back to a previous save.

Have to uninstall and reinstall.

NO!

I ended buying a cheap Windows laptop to play it that way.

Love it but there are bugs.

Wouldn’t let me move my guy even though he had 2 bars I had to restart. Tried reloading and overwatch but every time I hit accept it did nothing.
Also add controller support. Please at the very least fix the bugs.

Controller support

Need controller support

D

Cannot us controls that allow units to change access different higher levels, makes it unplayable

Восторг!!!!!

Скажите, кто-нибудь видел пошаговую стратегию лучше чем x-com?! Это шедевр!!!!

Best Game

I love this game

No simultaneous audio

Pretty much unplayable. This game hijacks your audio output.

Who TF wants audio from other apps forcibly disabled?

What a waste.

Game Breaking Bug

The game itself is really fun with the combat and the resource management. However, I have to give it a low score due to a game crashing bug that is causing the game to terminate once I complete a mission. I reloaded two saves with two different missions and the same thing happens. It’s forced me to restart the game and waste the hours I placed in. Not even going to bother if there’s no guarantee this will happen again.
