Description
The XCOM digital companion app is a free tool designed for use with XCOM: The Board Game.
In XCOM: The Board Game, you and up to three friends assume the roles of the leaders of the elite, international organization known as XCOM. It is your job to defend humanity, quell the rising panic, and turn back the escalating alien invasion coordinated by the game’s innovative, free digital companion app.
Each round, the app tracks the time you have allotted to respond to each task, forcing you to think quickly, even as you must carefully measure the strategic implications of your decisions. However, the app does far more than track time. Its design is integrated deep into gameplay, and it permits both a mutable alien invasion plan and a dynamic turn structure.
When you start a game of XCOM: The Board Game, the app randomly selects one of five different invasion plans. These plans represent the different, overarching strategies that the aliens might employ as they send forces against the earth’s different continents, create catastrophes, and target your base, pressing back against your resistance efforts.
Destroy UFOs. Research alien technology. Defend your base. Uncover the alien invasion plan. Should you fail, humanity is doomed.

Ratings and Reviews
Lousy application
Companion app has lot potential yet xcom bsg companion app screws it up badly.
Application is buggy:
- when scrolling in rules when user lifts finger the item that eas under the scrolling finger gets selected.
- app contains loads of rules and text and lacks search function
- when using back button its possible that the app flow gets corrupted / redone causing the board game and app state go wrong
All in all this app has effort put into it nice animations and music which is nice but the basic concept of mobile application have completely escaped them.
I cannot recommend the xcom bsg to anyone because of this app but would like to see other board games to implement better companion apps as there is clear potential in them.
