Xenowerk Tactics Wiki

This squad based tactical game played in its manageable chunks is what I was looking for to fill those small gaps in my busy schedule. I’ve read a couple of reviews that rate it down because they say it’s to easy, which is madness if you want to make it harder on yourself take only rookies into the field, don’t level your equipment or run 3 of the same class in a mission, placing self imposed limitations will make the game plenty hard, and which what their is to manage at your base camp it’s just deep enough satisfy me without being ridiculous. Good job!

This game is true console quality, but uses the power of a touch screen to its full advantage. I was amazed at how polished and exciting this game was just from the very beginning. And absolutely no microtransactions!!, no annoying pop ups, no “+gems.” Just a game that’s made for you to have fun. To all at pixelbite, thanks for making amazing games and not selling your soul like the other 99% of the app store.

I’m happy to pay $7 to avoid getting nickeled and dimed to $50 w in game purchases. I have trouble finding games that hold my interest. I mostly buy them to kill time on flights and while exercising so a good game is worth its kilobytes in gold. This one is the best purchase I’ve made this year. I’d pay $40 for another this good in a heart beat.

This plays like a fun board game, but without all the setup. I highly recommend this game, especially if you enjoy board games…and if you don’t… you’ll still find it entertaining.

I’ve been waiting for a fun game on the iPad for a long time. Loooook no further this game is awesome. Played all 3 ways to win and so much fun. Would love to buy additional missions or the next version of this game! Great work Dev team

Bought this game strictly for the single player offline feature, and really enjoying it so far. No in app purchases also, always a plus for me

This isn't the normal type of game I play, but I took the chance and I'm glad I did. The only problem is I tend to run down my battery because I play for a long time....lol Great job devs.

Honestly this is a good game overall but it cut short for being amazing. For one the 3 main story lines are more favored to xeno from being 5% every day. I understand more wise but to rush other main storylines you have to rush certain parts and with the way the exp is given grinding certain areas is impossible because how low exp is given in the beginning areas. I understand that I need to play a different way but my way is to grind characters incase things go south which happens often. I feel like a new game plus will bring more to the game and make it for enjoyable. I envision being 3 ops over one from each solider/ranger/scientists and nerf them to be level 2 or 3 Cuase the first 3 maps are just drags to get through and with this more people can play the later maps before game over without the exploration mode to get most of the main missions. Sorry for this long post

If you want to test the waters they let you in for free with plenty of time to check it out before you buy. I’m not a big fan of endless shooters which is pretty much the formula of the original Xenowerk game but by adding some lite team tactics and a little more story elements I founded it an inventive reuse of their existing asset to create something that feels new. I give it four out of five just because it’s still the endless shooter but I do appreciate that they give it to you in small doses and let you decide how much more you want to do. I found the random elements of loot, ambush, and events a nice change of pace. Along with developing your team and tackling certain tasks through the emails in the command center this feels much more like the games I enjoy. I Probably won’t sink 7 bucks into it at this time although it’s tempting just because I like what these guys do. Look forward to another episode of Space Marshals but till then keep up the good work Pixelbite.

The game is fun to play and there’s no in app purchases, what I don’t get is - why make the game so modeled after games that do want you to buy resources? By the fourth time you try to upgrade a structure, the cost is so high in rare resources that the game time ends way before I have enough. It’s not pay to win, I own it, why have so much grinding? And the timer? A mode where I don’t have to rush to play the game because the game is on a timer would be noce

This is by far one of the best games I played. The story is inducing and I don’t know about the other guy saying it’s “scawy becauws of a timer” but in my opinion that makes you reconsider every move you do. The three endings you can get makes it all the more worthwhile. I hope the game gets updated more so that for example enemies can attack your base or something more engaging

This seems like the foundation of a great game. The biggest problem is that it’s way too easy and you don’t have a lot to do in combat. When you enter combat levels you pretty much just guide your squad around with double clicks and then they blast everything that’s coming at them. You occasionally move them away from a telegraphed aoe attack, move an injured member to the back, or trigger a special ability. The most important thing in combat appears to be to make sure your guys are stopped when something’s coming at them because they won’t shoot on the move and almost everything you encounter is faster then you. That’s about it at this point. I’m only probably half way through and it’s possible combat will develop further, but I don’t really see how. There’s no cover, high ground or even incentive to move you troops individually. I hope this can be addressed since the game seems like it should be a blast based on the travel system, base management etc. it would be nice if there was more choice and resource scarcity in character and base developement.

I thought I found a game that would keep me busy for a while... but after around day 36 it forces you to Game Over. I got about 12 hours of play out of it so not too bad... and there were no Ads to sit through.. but a forced Game Over (about half way through exploring the map) wasn’t a welcome surprise. 5/5 if it let you just play the whole campaign, or at least let you uncover the whole map... or let you max level your troops...

I bought after reading the reviews. It is a lot of fun. I wouldn’t say it’s worth $7 but it’s really good especially if you like the genre but.... I started it up and my data got wiped. All my people ded. And have to restart from scratch. Sad days man. I was really into the game too and was super excited since I just started setting up huge expeditions traveling all over the map. Super disappointed this happened. Super sad
