From GameWatcher.com: "I poured over 100 hours into XCOM: Enemy Unknown over multiple platforms when it came out. It was a superb tactical, turn-based game that married its core mechanics with a man-management sim that crucially made you care about the grunts in your team. Why make this reference? Well, Mordheim: City of the Damned has the potential of XCOM with its own solid turn-based tactical combat, but its crucially lacking the elements in Early Access that give its systems a compelling reason to play".

All your quick reactions and battle-hardened twitch shooting skills count for nothing since Invisible Inc. is turn based in a similar style to Shadowrun Returns or to a lesser extent XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Writes Karlos Morale

Hardcore Droid: "The Android port of XCOM: Enemy Unknown is one of the only mobile ports of a PC game out there that doesnt lose anything in transition. Considering that its really good on PC, the fact that the Android experience is about the same means that its one of the best games on the entire platform. Now, the expansion, XCOM: Enemy Within, has been ported over as a standalone game, and things get more complicated for people whove never played either game."

Chaz at Twinfinite writes, Some of the more controversial things to emerge from gamings recent indie surge are those games which defy convention. Titles like Dear Esther and Gone Home, unfavorably labeled as walking simulators, discard things such as objectives, enemies, and points for an experience based on exploration, discovery, and reflection. So it is with The Old City: Leviathan, a gorgeous and confounding tale set in an abandoned ruin filled with mysteries and wonders that reject any notion that players need guidance to enjoy a game.

SteamFirst: A few years ago, Firaxis gave us a treat: a true, full-fledged X-Com. It was a true breath of fresh air. Well, that is if you consider inhaling the vaporized remnants of your fallen soldiers fresh. Nonetheless, X-Com:Enemy Unknown was a remarkable installment that reinvigorated the turn based strategy genre for more than the niche market it typically serves. (Not counting the Civilization series, which is an a beast of its own.) For all the fancy bells and whistles, some of us found the overworld game lacking. The turn by turn tactical decisions that the player can make were brilliant. Unfortunately, it was not a true X-Com when one factors in the overworld gameplay. Goldhawk Interactives Xenonauts fills that void.

Designer Jake Solomon has tweeted a clarification about how things went down at the end of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It's something of a spoiler obviously so best not paid any attention unless... If you've gotten to the end of the fantastic reboot of XCOM with Enemy Unknown then perhaps you'll want to know exactly what Soloman and his team at Firaxis meant with that ending.

"If I had to narrow myself down to just one genre of video games that I had to play for the rest of the life, my answer most likely would be tactical turn-based games. The Banner Saga, Fire Emblem Awakening and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are easily identifiable as some of my favorite games Ive played in the last five years, maybe even all-time. When I first heard about Mordheim: City of the Damned I thought it sounded like an interesting turn-based game, but seeing it running now has be salivating for more."
