[Maura]

Great news for retro gaming fans today on 9to5 Mac, with the announcement from 2K games that a newly released expansion for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within, is now available as a standalone iOS game.

Enemy Within has been out on PC for a year, and met with a very good reception from critics and fans alike. The expansion adds new features and game mechanics, including new weapons, enemies, abilities, as well as expanding the storyline.

Here are some of the new features of the iOS game:

• New Soldier Abilities: Build new base facilities to unlock unearthly new capabilities for XCOM’s soldiers. The Genetics Lab will allow soldiers to receive powerful genetic modifications, and the Cybernetics Lab allows soldiers to use devastating mechanized cybersuits in battle.

• New Weapons and Equipment: Give your operatives an extra tactical edge with new projects from your engineering team and the Foundry.

• New Enemy Threats: Adopt new tactics to counter the threats from two new alien types and a deadly new organization known as EXALT.

• New Strategic Resource: A valuable new alien resource, known as Meld, has been discovered. Secure it on the battlefield, research a new technology to unlock its power, and use it carefully back at base to unlock new upgrades and weaponry.

• New Story Elements: Investigate a terrifying threat in an abandoned fishing village, and defend the XCOM headquarters from alien attack in a series of new plot-driven missions.

• New Multiplayer maps, units, and abilities: Create your custom squad from a wider array of options and dominate your opponent in intense, one-on-one, turn-based matches.
