Mission: Invasion

Turn-Based Tactical Strategy in Space - XCOM meets FTL

The game focuses on intense turn-based tactical combat between fleets of around 3-6 space ships. These ships are completely customizable by installing various components like weapons, shields, armour, thrusters and power plants. Between missions, the player can explore the galaxy in search for habitable planets for his/her race to colonize.
