User guide
What is X-COM
X-COM is a series of strategy videogames where the player takes control of an organization to fight off an alien menace invading Earth.
You manage your operations from bases spread around the globe, where you equip your craft and soldiers, take care of research and manufacture, and expand your facilities. You’re also constantly scanning for alien activity so you can send out crafts to intercept UFOs and ground forces to stop alien troops.
On ground missions, you take control of your troops in a turn-based fashion, moving your soldiers around the field and fighting against the alien troops until you emerge victorious. Or more commonly, get brutally murdered, but remember, dying is fun!
In the midst of all this, the funding nations are scoring your every move as the alien invasion keeps escalating. You have to turn the odds in your favour by interrogating the aliens and recover their technology to figure out how to end this war once and for all!
Mod support
RAM is pretty limited on Vita, so there's a chance that game would just crash with heavy mods installed.
Other
You can change game resolution in the "Video" options menu.
320x200 provides the best performance. 480x272 with Display Mode set to "Fullscreen" and Geoscape Scale/Battlescape Scale set to "Full Display" provides great visuals (x2 pixel scaling) while still having good performance.
"Fullscreen" display mode scales game surface to fullscreen. "Windowed" mode centers the game area w/o scaling it.
You can skip intros by tapping on screen.
