Earlier this week, it was revealed that the awesome XCOM: Enemy Unknown game would be arriving on iOS devices, bringing with it almost all of the features and gameplay you enjoyed on the PC and Mac versions.
Now, Firaxis, the developers of the XCOM: Enemy Unknown game, have revealed how much the game will cost when it launches tomorrow, priced at $13.99.
Gameplay and Features
Considering XCOM: Enemy Unknown is such an awesome game and brings nearly all the same features as the desktop versions, $13.99 seems a very reasonable price, even if a little higher than other iOS games. The game is a turn-based tactical role-playing game that puts you in command of a global defense team tasked with protecting Earth from an alien invasion. The iOS version retains the deep strategic gameplay, including base management, research, and soldier customization, which made the original so beloved by fans.
The XCOM: Enemy Unknown iOS game supports the iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and the 5th Gen iPod touch. This wide range of device compatibility ensures that many players can enjoy the game on their preferred Apple device. The game has been optimized for touch controls, making it intuitive to navigate through menus and issue commands to your squad.
Hours of Engaging Gameplay
The game will provide you with hours of gameplay to enjoy as you defend the Earth from alien invasion. Each mission requires careful planning and tactical execution, as you lead your squad through various environments to eliminate alien threats. The permadeath feature adds a layer of intensity, as losing a soldier in battle means they are gone for good, making each decision critical.
In addition to the main campaign, the iOS version includes the multiplayer mode, where you can challenge friends or other players in head-to-head battles. This mode allows for endless replayability, as you can test different strategies and squad compositions against human opponents.

The transition to iOS has been met with excitement from the community, as it allows fans to enjoy the game on the go. The developers at Firaxis have ensured that the iOS version maintains the quality and depth of the original, making it a must-have for strategy game enthusiasts.
The game’s price point of $13.99 reflects its premium quality and the extensive content it offers. While it may be higher than typical mobile games, the depth and complexity of XCOM: Enemy Unknown justify the cost. Players can expect a rich, immersive experience that rivals its PC and console counterparts.
