There's even less variety in the levels on the iPad version than in the PC or console versions, but there are still enough levels that you likely won't be seeing many of the same ones in the course of a single campaign. If you're naming your soldiers after close friends, be prepared to watch them fall - permanently - under a hail of brightly colored laser fire.ĭespite the lower-res textures in the iPad version, the actual levels are full of interesting visual details and a wide range of environment types.
Things can get a bit muddy in some of the close ups and cutscenes, but the soldier and alien animations and the effects of the various weapons and abilities make this one of the better looking games on the platform. The graphics have taken a noticeable step down in the translation to the iPad, almost entirely in terms of the texture resolution. It's true that the camera controls aren't terribly responsive, but once I accepted their limitations, it wasn’t too hard to orient myself and my viewpoint on the battlefield. Issuing orders on the tactical map is as natural as can be, particularly given the smart interface layout and convenient shortcuts. Turn-based games like XCOM are practically made for touchscreen controls, and the implementation here is brilliant.
