Excellent game!!!

One of the best cooperative board games ever, and the necessary app only makes it better.

There’s four roles; one person (Central Officer) uses the app to inform the other three what’s going on (Scientist, Squad Leader, Commander), and everyone uses that info to make decisions during the timed phase each round.

Then the resolution phase happens, and the dice are rolled to see what succeeded/failed and what assets are lost.

Highly recommended for fans of cooperative, strategy, quick-decision-making, and/or XCOM. 👽🛸💥

COMPANION app to Board Game

This is a great companion to the board game. It’s necessary to play the game it’s necessary to have the board game to go with the app.
Super fun but very difficult game. The tutorial was a great way to ease into it and the rule book included in this app is a wonderful tool. The low star reviews are mostly from people that don’t understand it’s part of the board game and cannot be used alone.
If you like the video game you’ll love this. Check it out!

Doesn’t scale to my device

I have an iPhone 11. When I tried to play this game, parts of the app were cropped out or squished together. The it doesn’t make the game unplayable, and the actual board game is fun, but the weird cropping is a bit annoying and confusing at some times. It works fine on iPads though.
