A++ game, F-- port. Buy it on another platform.

The is exactly the same great game you’ve played on other platforms, EXCEPT for the game hanging issues, disappearing save games, GUI problems, and abysmal (border-line unusable) multiplayer support.

The game will require frequent application restarts due to hanging. Occasionally this will result in LOST!!! save games, which means you will have to RESTART (from scratch) ironman games. I have yet to complete an Classic Ironman game without my save game dissappearing and having to restart completely. Additionally, the “Save and Exit” button doesn’t always work requiring the use of “Force-Quit” just to exit the game.

Though Feral touts online multiplayer on the Xcom Appstore website, it does not work out of the box (like it does on another platforms), and requires numerous steps / patching / and setting up of a 3rd party Game Ranger application which makes GameSpy (from the 90’s) look amazing.

Only consider buying the OSX port if you have no problem on using “Force Quit” Application on a regular basis, you’re not playing IRONMAN and you have no intention on playing multiplayer. Otherwise just buy it on another system.
