I took time to painstakingly recreate my friends and coworkers into the world of XCOM: Enemy Unknown hoping that would give me a psychological attachment to my group of elite soldiers; however, all I really learned is how quickly I’m willing to sacrifice my girlfriend as a bullet sponge to a horde of angry aliens. Chad Goodmurphy didn’t even make it through his first mission before I had to make burial plans. If this is the best the planet has to offer and I’m deemed the most capable to lead them, we may as well close up shop now."

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me
It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
