  • Turn-based combat
  • Tactical depth
  • A party of several characters

A turn-based tactics and strategy game set in the Cold War, where you run a multinational military force against an alien invasion, command squads on the ground, intercept UFOs and research captured tech. A modern homage to classic X-COM.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactical battles against alien invaders where cover, positioning and class abilities decide the outcome. Between missions you manage your base, research and funding, and fallen soldiers are gone for good.

X-COM: Apocalypse

Turn-based combat

As X-COM commander you defend the megacity of Mega-Primus from alien invaders while dealing with gangs, cults and corporations. It blends real-time base management and economy with deep tactical squad combat, playable either turn-based or in real time.

X-COM: UFO Defense

Turn-based combat

The legendary tactics classic pairs tense turn-based squad missions against aliens with global base building, research and tight budget management. Soldiers die permanently, and every strategic decision can save or doom humanity.

X-COM: Terror From the Deep

A party of several characters

The notoriously punishing sequel to UFO Defense moves the alien war to the ocean depths, combining base building and research with turn-based squad missions against Lovecraftian sea horrors. Its creepy atmosphere and brutal difficulty made it a cult classic.

Xenonauts 2

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics and strategy game in the spirit of classic X-COM: you lead a global resistance against a technologically superior alien invasion, managing bases, directing fighter interceptors and fighting demanding ground battles.

BattleTech

A party of several characters

Tactical turn-based combat with giant mechs where armor, heat and positioning decide battles. As a mercenary commander you manage pilots, mechs and finances through a campaign set in 3025.

Into the Breach

Turn-based combat

Compact turn-based tactics where three mechs defend cities from giant kaiju-like aliens. Every enemy attack is telegraphed in advance, so each turn plays like a tightly designed chess puzzle with roguelike runs and time-travel resets.
