XCOM Legends on Android is the Game for You if You Like Turn-Based Strategies
For those wondering, XCOM Legends is a turn-based RPG; you get access to a campaign mode in which you will have to battle waves of enemies. You can also recruit new heroes to fight in PvP battles against the players that are controlling aliens. You will also get to progress so you can unlock competitive PvP modes. The game also brings new daily challenges, along with unique hero-specific "War Stories".
Here are some official snippets about what the game is all about.
"Liberate the Earth in XCOM Legends, a brand new mobile turn-based RPG! Assume control of XCOM, one of the last resistance groups on the planet, and lead the charge to take back Earth from the tyrannical alien invaders known as ADVENT.
"20 years have passed since Earth surrendered to the alien invaders. By the time we realized the alien threat, the war was already over and humanity was lost. To exterminate the last of the resistance fighters, the aliens have unleashed an untold, ancient evil.
"We now need your help once again, Commander, to assemble XCOM's greatest warriors, both past and present and take back Earth. Are you ready?"

About the author: I have been tinkering with Android devices ever since the early days of the HTC Desire. Over time, I have grown a fondness for the ecosystem and now I cannot live without it. Although some might believe that I have sold my soul to Android, but I believe it is not the case. You can find me writing tutorials and posting guides on a number of different smartphones. When I am not writing here, I am wasting myself away in books, journals, or on Steam.
