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.

Menace

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactical RPG from the Battle Brothers developers: you lead an elite strike force against an alien menace, equipping infantry and fielding tanks and mechs in demanding, carefully planned battles.

Incubation: Time Is Running Out

Turn-based combat

Turn-based sci-fi tactics where you lead a small squad of marines against mutated aliens, equipping and growing your soldiers across missions. Part of the Battle Isle series, it rewards careful positioning and ammo management.

Gears Tactics

Turn-based combat

Gears of War reimagined as turn-based tactics: you lead a small squad through tense fights against the Locust horde, using cover, flanking and executions that grant extra actions. Between missions you grow your soldiers with classes, skills and gear.

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.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactics in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where you lead Adeptus Mechanicus forces or ancient Necrons and manage resources and technology between battles. Its bleak, techno-religious atmosphere is a big draw.

Silent Storm

Turn-based combat

Turn-based squad tactics in an alternate World War II where you lead a custom-built team on secret missions, with fully destructible environments that make every turn a tactical puzzle.

Phoenix Point

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics game in the XCOM tradition where you lead a resistance organization against mutating alien horrors. It stands out for its free-aim shooting with targetable body parts, faction diplomacy on the world map, and enemies that evolve in response to your tactics.

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.
