Battle it out against a computer-controlled fleet of ships with X-Wing AI. Set your ship’s location and bearing and watch the enemy make believable but unpredictable maneuvers. Great for practicing strategy solo, testing new lists, or teaming up on the enemy with a friend. X-Wing AI is a companion app for the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures board game that works offline and is compatible with Heroes of the Aturi Cluster (HotAC) and Flight Group Alpha (FGA). ▶ A SMART BUT UNPREDICTABLE OPPONENT Battle-tested enemy logic creates a worthy opponent. Each action is generated from multiple inputs providing a realistic battle that keeps you guessing. Fully compatible with Heroes of the Aturi Cluster and Flight Group Alpha. ▶ X-WING 1.0 AND 2.0 A unique set of maneuvers, actions, and targeting priorities for every ship in the game. There's something new to discover every time your miniatures hit the table. ▶ KEEPS YOUR PLAYMAT CLEAR Track enemy shields, hull, and energy right in X-Wing AI. The app also replaces the AI stat cards, one less thing to worry about. ▶ 5 STAR REVIEWS Awesome AI for X Wing by Lord Fajubi Really enjoy this app both playing solo and co-op. It is challenging enough you have to pay attention and just the little extras like a free target lock or focus action makes the AI deadlier than it would normally be. It made me love my X Wing ships again. If you have ships but can't set up or find a game? Get this app. Amazing for Heroes of the Aturi Cluster by Slightly Mad Guy I’ve been a long time user of the app, and had the privilege to work on the beta team for the 2.0 launch. This app performs fantastically for both solo play and campaign missions in HotAC. The creator is very involved with the community and does a great job integrating new ideas into the app. I highly recommend this for all of your X-Wing needs, whether practicing or campaigning! Great app by CaldazarSG Perfect for HotAC, really speeds up and streamlines the AI planning. Just started using it for AI against which I am testing new squadron builds, seems promising for that as well. Simply and easy to use. Had a brief issue with the app, reached out to Joe and he followed up multiple times until resolution, fantastic service. If you play HotAC or solo, this is the app to use! Please note that using the second edition AI (2.0) requires a small subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NullG TacOps at none against X's 5. NullG TacOps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (86% vs 70%). X's advantage is ratings volume (222 vs 34) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

X holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 222 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of X's written reviews are positive against 86% of NullG TacOps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

X ships an update every 3 weeks, NullG TacOps every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 21, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
