Maybe one of the best mobile ports around.
Maybe one of the best mobile ports around. Perfect for road trips and vacations. This is easier than XCOM 2 but in a good way considering it is mobile.

I wasn't very impressed with X:EU either, Great cutscenes in the battles.interesting takes on some of the enemies in the franchise. X:EU and X:EW are in essence the same game.
I haven't played Long War Mod.
XCOM2 looks a lot better.
