It’s streamlined 2D XCOM...

... with great soundtrack, wacky humour and pretty great aesthetics. Auto-saves very often, even during missions, and plays well on touch screen. If you like turn-based strategy games with RPG elements, be sure to pick this up!
This game is a gem.

This game definitely is one of the best games in App Store. The experience is great, I judge that by if I would play a game through nonstop. I spent seven hours to finish the game, nonstop. It reminds me Jagged Alliance a lot. They are all great turn based tactical games. But compare to JA, Steamworld Heist’s system is much less sophisticated. For one thing the dev chose side view, it makes the game completely 2 dimensional. And since units can not stay at ladders, the game space is shrunken too much. But JA uses 30 degree view, and units can go up to roofs, that makes JA 3 dimensional. So strategy part is much wider. JA also uses a well designed motion point system. In this system, shooting costs motion points just like walking and other actions. Spending more points makes aiming more accurate. This is greatest system I’ve ever seen. But STeamworld Heist uses an oversimplified system, which makes the strategy much less variable. I don’t know if there are certain reasons why iOS games could not reach the same height of PC games. I just don’t want to give any iOS game 5 stars. They are not worth it yet.

A lot of games that appear on multiple platforms suffer with touch controls but Steamworld Heist does not. Best of all, no in app purchases!!! Pay once, and it’s worth it.
