XCOM: Enemy Unknown For iOS Blasts Into The App Store

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is now available to download in the App Store, and offers iDevice owners the chance of playing through the entire award-winning game on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. As expected, the new application can be purchased for $19.99. Previously available for Windows, OS X, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, the game puts players in charge of "XCOM," an elite parliamentary organization formed in order to counterattack the advances of an alien enemy. "As the commander of XCOM, you must create a fully operational base, research alien technologies, plan combat missions, and lead your soldiers in fierce battles against a terrifying alien invasion," the app's release notes explain. Features of the app include:

• Recruit and level-up soldiers
• Discover new weapons and technology
• Play randomly generated missions
• Engage in strategic combat
• Use enhanced touch controls designed for mobile

In addition, XCOM also includes support for Apple's social gaming network, Game Center. While a universal app, XCOM is currently compatible with a limited number of iDevices, which are: the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini, and fifth-generation iPod touch.
