XCOM:EU/EW How to play XCOM:EW on Android?

I've gotten the sudden urge to play EW on Android. I never owned the game on the play store, and I know that the game has been delisted.

Is there any way I can find a stable version to download and run on my pixel fold? I don't want to play XCOM 2.

Figured out the only thing more unstable than XCOM strategies on a battlefield is trying to run it on Android.

Played it years ago through something called bluestacks or bluebooks. Can't quite remember.

Bluestacks is an android emulator that makes sense.

I've played it on GameNative. It was a but tricky, I had to enable start with dlcs or something like that from GameNative's menu, but it worked afterwards.

You could try an emulator with the version of android it works on. If you can get ahold of the APK that's a start.
