    Yup, same here on my iPad Mini. No problems whatsoever. Very smooth experience. Completed five or six missions so far, great game!

    currently sacrificing a menagerie of farm animals to get this to download faster

    It's been said, but everyone who cares about iOS as a legitimate gaming platform needs to buy this. If this game can sell enough copies, devs will get the message and maybe freemium will start to die.

    This is one reason while it was an instant purchase for me. I got it during the holidays for my PC for free in during a promo and I knew that this is a great way to give back to the devs for working on such a great game.

    So disappointed.

    Waited all day for 10 o'clock to roll around so i could download the game. Now i am constantly getting unable to download application [done] or [retry]. Retry does the same error and done does nothing.

    I have restarted my device, deleted and reinstalled the app, signed out of the app store and back in again and nothing working.

    I am on my 6th reinstall of the game.

    sucks :(


    4th gen ipad with 28gb free. FML. #firstworldproblems

    Exactly this. I was a little bit afraid after seeing all these videos and hearing about the issues but I couldn't resist and bought it. As you already said the game looks much better on screen and some maps (like this one on your screenshots) are much better in graphics terms than what we have already seen from the tutorial videos or the AppStore screens.
    Also on iPad 3 haven't any problem yet (terrible frame drops or crashes etc) and for some reason the gestures and the navigation works fine for me.
    This game is true pleasure and with KOTOR and Warhammer.... oh my oh my :D

    Freemium's here to stay. The best we can hope for is a co-existence between F2P and premium games.

    Stoked to hear people are getting good results on their Mini's and ipad 2s. I found it really choppy but maybe i should free up some more space on my device. if people are enjoying it then im happy to be wrong. Ive personally stuck to it on the i5 and I've been loving getting back into it. It really does feel at home on a touch screen

    With a game this large your best bet is to install via itunes with your PC.

    Thanks for replying to me. Doing that now.

    This will be the third time doing it on the PC through itunes - getting an error there also. :mad:

    Edit: Nevermind it finally successfully downloaded. Back to being happy except i wish i could have started playing an hour ago.

    Hmmm, one vote for "fine", one vote for routinely crashing.

    Need more guinea pigs with iPod touch 5Gs ;)

    A whopping 3.28GB installed. I kinda wish they didn't skimp on audio quality. 128kbps isn't asking for much.

    Well, alternatively, you could try "Aliens Versus Humans" Which is heavily based on the original Xcom, and it's only 2.99...

    Feel pretty stupid right about now but figured I'd ask lol # I tap first name and a window pops up and says set first name but no form of keyboard pops up with it?
