    That's because there isn't any. The cost for the intro movie alone probably exceeded the development budget of nearly every iOS game ever made.

    What about gof2? At least for me, this is the first big game made for iOS.

    This!
    Also people seem to forget about The walking dead. $20 without a doubt!

    GOF2? Really? Good, yes, but anywhere close to this caliber? Not by any stretch.

    No one has even tried to make a game on this scale for iOS and, to be fair, that's because no one actually set out to make this particular game for iOS. It's more fluke than anything that we are comparing an 8 month old AAA PC/Console title made on a budget and time frame for a current AAA PC/Console title to iOS games that are, at their most ambitious, $10-$20 indie Steam titles in scope.

    Yep, TWD was the only game I spent more than $10 on the iOS and I am proud of it;)

    Can anyone confirm if XCOM offers IAPs? On the AppStore, it shows IAP but when I click on it, it says 'item not available':confused:

    There's no IAP's in XCOM.
    There's no mention of any on the AppStore either at least not in my country...

    Nice it seems the small developer called full control has license to the game.. Not sure how kick start works but it seems getting funding from public.. I am not wrong ja2 in 1997? Or earlier costed them like 4 mil.. Can you even make a game now with lesser amount?
    Read the FAQ only for pc.. Why people don't make games for mobile platform.. I thought that would be much cheaper again I could be wrong on this...
    Keeping my fingers crossed...

    You can buy all the satellites you want early on, but you need at least one additional uplink and two Nexus hubs all piggybacked in order to have full coverage... Now that's an IAP I'd consider early on!

    Okay, it says 'top in app purchases' in the top of the app description. I think I misunderstood it for IAP? Honest mistake.

    In which store? I'm not seeing this line in any of them, which is understandable as the game doesn't actually have any IAP.

    Same as Appletini, not seeing it either. Maybe the aliens had landed and you are being mind controlled by them... Bwahaha.

    You're either mistaken or for some reason there's a bug in your App Store that nobody else has got, because there definitely aren't any IAPs in XCOM.
