UFO: Alien Invasion

I hate to be this harsh on what looks and sounds like a work of passion, but the interface needs completely overhauled before I can even begin to critique the gameplay. Mouse emulation is pointless when the interface cannot auto-scale, which is practically a sin for something requiring precision control. Also, configuration should be done within ONE options menu, not a goddamn launcher window before the menu screen.

This game is very addicting, when you start the game it tells you nothing, you just have to figure it out. They do give you a encyclopedia, not the most helpful but it does. The UI is not that good, however, unless you know what you are doing don't mess with the controls, they put them on nearly the best. PC version still best. My only issues are a few UI things, most of them are nice-to-haves but they turn 4 stars to 5. Fix controls and clean up UI, then 5 star.

Constant crashing, and a true lack of an effective safe mode graphically is the only thing keeping this from 5 Stars. Maybe pelya should recreate this type of game with simple models but core play aspects and I'm sure there is tens of thousands plus to be made. No one has even tried to make this kind of game on android

Screen res makes everything too small. Most buttons are invisible or nearly impossible to hit. Changing the screen res doesn't work right, the new res just uses a smaller portion of my screen. The 'stretch' option doesn't seem to work. I'm still trying to make this one playable because I want to play it, but I'm starting to give up.

The Dev did a great job porting this over to android. As others have said, scrolling is 'problematic' at best; overall game is awesome and I am really enjoying it. A tutorial, or more tooltips would be nice since it has been many years since I played a x-com game and I couldn't figure a few things out at first.

Fun and nostalgic with enough new features to keep the gameplay fresh. If you're a fan of X-Com games you will feel right at home. My only suggestion would be to modify the interface to be more intuitive for touchscreen play, especially in the tactical alien encounters. All together, the price can't be beat making it a great game for your android device.

I love the game. I used to play it on my Lynix box, until I got fedup with the continual in-game crashing and eventually abandoned it. Gave it a try on my HTC-One and the same ...bummer. It is very well thought out and detail oriented. The only thing better than this game was X-COM, back in the day. Keep working fellas, I can't wait to play a stabilized product. Would even pay for the final version, especially for my Laptop.

Selecting a soldier, aiming, shooting, moving, scrolling or zooming the map. All of it is done almost the same way and there is an equal chance of any of these things happening. Sadly it usually isn't the thing you were trying to do. I have a headache from staring at the tiny figures. Maybe it's from the rage. What on earth were they thinking

This game could be great but it is still very buggy and after the most recent update it won't work. However I believe the developer will fix this soon Think I've found the problem. I would seem that on Android 4.1 you can't download the data into sd card but have to instead put it onto phone memory. Currently downloading the data files now

Love the old x-com games and this has great potential, but unfortunately on my nexus the controls are horrible, the graphics are a little bland and there seems to be a lack of any kind of tutorial for what is quite a complex game. Would love to give this 5 stars so please fix the control issue on tabs.

But horrible horrible horrible controls on tablet. Sound works, good graphics, no crashes. I really like the game though. Will download for PC. Can't wait to see this working. If you're looking for something like XCOM that does work, Xenowar will give a quick fix for your android, but it's not as good as this game.

I have always been a HUGE fan of the old X-Com games, and turn based strategies as a whole. This game would be great with traditional interface devices, but doesn't feel like they even tried to adapt it to touchscreen mobile devices. It makes the battle mode difficult and annoying at best.

Not sure what the negative reviews are about - this game runs like butter on my Nexus 7. It's like XCOM and Fallout had a baby. The gameplay is tight, the writing amazing, the aesthetics very pleasing. This is an example of how ports should be done. THANK YOU Pelya

I`d like more resolution options. Samsung 10.1`s run 1280x800 i.ex. Works like a charm! It is a tad difficult to control on a touchscreen alone, so i invested in a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Now it feels even better than on a computer! ^^

Simply carries over the GUI. Doesn't account for the smaller screen size. Also, geoscape goes into a frenzy of movements occasionally when you're not even touching the screen. Has a long way to go. Just play it on PC...

I would give this game a higher rate if it wasn't so buggy. Its pinch zoom doesn't work, after making your base and going back to the world map its near impossible to select your base again, you cant see alien ships in flight, and the ground battles don't work it just skips them completely (which includes their skirmish mode)i had really high hopes for this game and it has a great base line, but the fact that these bugs make it impossible to play, if they fix it I'd rate it a 5 at this time I'd rate it 0

version 2.5.0.07 works great. I want to thank you for the hard work you put in on this and your other apps. Just an FYI for everyone, if having issues after updating just uninstall and reinstall, may have to redownload all the assets but it's worth it. Stay classy.

So i start the game and i build a few bases, its cool, alright. After a while i finally get a ground mission. Yes! I start the mission and... half of the map is black... at first i thought it was a fog of war thing, so i walk into it and im litterally walking on nothing. Then i zoom out and i see all these gray lines that look all broken, connected to each other appear over the black area, and having played enough games i knew it was a glitch. Will experiment more and rerate if i can fix it.

I loved the xcom game years ago and this is very similar but trying to scroll the battle map around is excruciatingly painful and often causes soldiers to move when you are just trying scroll the map. Please fix this. I would gladly pay a few bucks for the game if you did. As is I cannot even play it.

any time i try to play a mission or skirmish, maybe base defense. the game freezes. nothing happens. the base management is working well and is fun but i gotta auto mission everything so i don't advance much. after first time base gets attacked. also the soldier equipment screen has no pictures or anything to indicate there's anything. i can't even Change the equipment on the soldiers

I don't know how well this game plays on pc, but on android, it's pretty much impossible. It crashes, scrolling and zooming is difficult for several reasons without messing with the settings, the settings themselves are impossible to understand, being pc settings with a little touchscreen conversion programming thrown on top, the missions are difficult, even on super easy, and finally, the game is simply designed for a screen much larger than a smart phone. That said, it's fun, just not optimized.

Large download, I get menus but trying to start a game just gets a black screen with the touch cursor

Can't even load past the installation screen, tried 5 times, but no go - I loved the game on pc for years, its an absolutely fantastic Xcom remake and well worth your time. Such a shame its got such basic issues and that so many people are having them - we get so few strategy games worthy of the title on smartphones.... Please please please fix it!

I've been using this game for a few weeks and I haven't had too many problems. People should have been informed in the program description that this is a Beta program, that it's still a work in progress. FYI, I'm using a Galaxy Note 8.

What the hell is wrong, have a 5 inch tiny cell with a FHD resolution and the tiny pointer on the game is very anoying so for the moment will errase it until next time , very nice game just like the XCOM UFO back in the 90's loved playing all nite it just remembered old good times but for the moment this ones is not to be played on a tiny displays with very high resolution , please fix it and give me a message so I can come back, thank you and keep all the good work

This game gives me a feeling for xcom but still the controls are rusty and give almost nothing about any campaign based info and game controls. But still a nice debugged version of the linux based UfO alien invasion. But no one can beat XCOM.
