www.148apps.com -- "In Onslaught players can expect the kind of portable X-COM experience they've always wanted. The Geoscape, 'pedia, recruitment, research, staffing, manufacturing, and base construction (with multiple bases) is all present and accounted for. It's practically perfect X-COM in all its immaculate and frustrating glory, only now you can play it whenever and wherever you want."
www.pockettactics.com -- "AvH:Onslaught is like a tribute band for X-Com - it hits all of the same notes as the original: recruitable (and re-nameable) troops who learn as they gain experience, cagey aliens who see in the dark better than you do, bases that you build and staff, research that you direct, randomized combat maps - the whole lot."
Just a few of the Ratings and reviews from App Stores around the world:

5 Stars: "New version with more XCom-like gameplay! An awesome game made more awesome with this new update! You can tell that the original version was designed to capture aspects of XCom but this update brings it closer to being so! Definitely a must buy for fans of that style of game! You will not be disappointed!"

One of the best games from the early 1990s, X-COM: UFO Defense was my favorite game. When I got my iPhone, I figured someone had already done it but I couldn't find it when I searched the App Store. Then I searched the web and found references to works in progress but nothing available. So we wrote a rendition of it for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
