## What is Xenowerk Tactics?

Requires iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 or newer. Play the first part for free. Get access to the full game with an in-app purchase.

Play as the commander of an emergency response team after a disaster at a secret lab, hidden deep in the arctic region. Your task is to cover up and maximize profits for the Xenowerk corporation, or to save the world, depending on whom you ask...

EXPLORE
Deploy squads on expeditions into the infected zone. Explore a ferocious landscape scattered with remnants of Xenowerk's absurd research facilities. Use skills, traits and mutations to mitigate the dangers, horrors and mishaps during your journeys. 

Push your operatives to the limit, not to waste any precious time. Explore jungles, swamps, laboratories, shelters and factories. Scavenge for valuable resources. Carry out various missions. Secure strategic safe zones. Find and rescue M.I.A. operatives.

FIGHT
Control your squad in real-time combat against hordes of mutants. Use operative skills and mutations, such as Frag Grenade, Bait & Trap, Adrenaline, Pyrokinesis and much more, to skew the odds in your favor. Activate Tactical Pause at any time to give more detailed orders.

MANAGE
Recruit and evolve Marines, Rangers and Scientists as your operatives. But choose wisely, some may obtain dubious traits or mutations.

Spend gathered resources to enhance your base of operations; Barracks, Recruitment, Field hospital, Armory, etc. Spend earnings on treatments, upgrades and recruitment.

Cater for the whims of the Xenowerk Management to keep getting funded. Earn some extra cash-under-the-table by selling off resources on the Black Market. Or maybe try to save the world...

### 5/5 — Супер!

*2026-07-30*

Игра очень хорошо сделана. Играю уже несколько лет. Помню, что когда на лёгком уровне стало всё понятно и игра превратилась в игру, а не в потное прохождение, я не смог пройти сложный уровень. На сложном уровне мне удалось за всё время пройти игру только два раза. Игра захватывает. Очень интересно. Чем сложнее, тем больше приходится вникать в навыки персонажей, чтобы комбинировать отряд под необходимые задачи. Всем хорошей игры!

### 5/5 — Yeah this is fire!

At least on the easy and free part it got pretty repetitive.  Definitely worth trying

### 5/5 — Really fun game!

*2024-12-05, version 2.0.8*

This game is really awesome! I love the gameplay, levelling up, music, sound effects. I like how injured soldiers must be sent to the hospital for treatment. This allows for experimenting with other squads and being mindful about retreating to keeps soldiers healthy. The missions are really fun to play and the creatures, especially the ones that drop exploding charges can be challenging. I highly recommend this game!

### 1/5 — Wont let me play
