  • Turn-based combat
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Tactical depth

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.

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: 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.

Shadow Empire

Turn-based combat

A very complex turn-based wargame set on a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic planet, where you lead a fledgling state and juggle logistics, politics, economy and warfare. Its blend of 4X, hex-based tactics and RPG elements for leaders and officers gives it enormous depth.

Terra Invicta

Challenging difficulty

A deep grand-strategy sim about an alien invasion: you lead one of seven human factions, take over nations on Earth, expand across the Solar System, and fight tactical space battles.

Xenonauts

Turn-based combat

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.

Stars in Shadow

Turn-based combat

A turn-based space 4X game in the spirit of classics like Master of Orion: explore and colonize star systems, build fleets, and win the galaxy through diplomacy or force. Its hand-crafted look and tactical fleet battles stand out.

BattleTech

Turn-based combat

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.
