And here's where the developers make their money. The gameplay is straightforward, yet addictive, and the need to level up the heroes, as well as boost the roster by purchasing more super-powered friends, makes it hard to put down. A turn-based combat game, featuring all your favourite super-heroes, it pits your team into combat against a variety of nefarious villains. The touch-screen controls suit the title perfectly, and while the camera is sometimes a little fiddly, it never detracts from this splendidly constructed title.Īvengers Alliance (Marvel, free, iOS) is another familiar title – a favourite already on Facebook as a browser game – but in contrast it won't trouble the wallet. The game works across all recent i-devices, with saves syncing over the cloud to allow play on multiple machines – a real boon. When a soldier dies, he dies, taking with him all his experience and skills – all that's left is a name on the barracks' memorial wall. Something magnified by the horrible finality of combat casualties. If that sounds like a lot to handle, that's because it is: XCOM is unforgiving. Playing as commander of XCOM – a global organisation reacting to hostile UFO attacks – you must balance the needs of demanding nations, while sending grunts on to the ground for turn-by-turn-based combat, and also managing a base. Fortunately, this is for a fully fledged port of alien invasion strategy game XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2k, iOS) – the game of 2012 for many. T he advent of "freemium" gaming on mobile devices is a trend swiftly crossing over to the serious console market – so it's startling to see something priced on the App Store at £13.99.
