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.

Space Hulk

Turn-based combat

A digital take on the Warhammer 40,000 board game where you guide a small squad of Terminator Space Marines through cramped, threatening ship corridors against Genestealer swarms. Scarce action points and relentless enemy waves make every turn a tense decision.

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.

Space Hulk: Ascension

Sci-fi setting

Turn-based tactics in the Warhammer 40,000 universe: a squad of Space Marines fights through cramped derelict ships full of Genestealers. The board game experience is expanded with RPG elements, new weapons and missions.

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.

Shardpunk

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics game set in a grim steampunk world overrun by rats, blending XCOM-style squad combat with Darkest Dungeon-like stress and resource pressure. You lead a small squad through dangerous missions where every decision counts.

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.
