I have to check out Under falling skies. I absolutely adore xcom 2 so in theory it sounds like I would enjoy it. Anybody have any experience with the game?
Im playing under falling skies right now, it has nothing to do with xcom outside of defending earth against an alien threat lmao, the gameplay of under falling skies is more reminiscent of space invaders if anything. The article is pure classic cbr clickbait bullshit.
The only similarity is kind of the base shape and maybe two drops of theme. But it's still a great puzzle on its own! I really enjoyed it, and if gets a little stale you can pass it on once your done for another 1p to enjoy.
Campaign started pretty easy then got tough fast. Fun references if you're into similar alien invasion type of media.
There's an X-com boardgame if you didn't know: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163602/xcom-board-game
It also uses an app!

Under falling skies is a great solo game for sure, although I'm not sure about how it can be compared to XCOM. It's much more like Invaders (on steroids :-))
Under falling skies is epic
