micro-review

Xenonauts wants to be the direct spiritual successor to UFO: Enemy Unknown by remaking the original with some fidelity. In combat, soldiers move and shoot according to a system based on time units identical (?) to the original; so the combat is pretty much like you would expect, except there is a directional cover system implemented, oh, and suppression. Air combat is no longer 1v1 and now you can directly control your aircraft, a mini game that can become tedious with time, but a welcome change nevertheless. I prefer the art style of old X-Com, Xenonauts looks a bit ugly to me. I didn’t play this game a lot but from what I saw the game has its own take on a lot of little things. One thing that stood out and I liked is the introduction of shields. I think the game is OK but I wasn’t impressed with anything, and in the end I just didn’t find it exciting to play. Rating: XENONAUTS-COM Recommendation: The game is not bad but there are similar games that are a better option if you are a fan of the genre. http://pixelloot.com

Unplayable on high-resolution screens

The game's font seems hard-coded to be tiny. Whether you run it at a 4k resolution or the lowest, it stays tiny. As it stands, the game is unplayable on modern gaming screens. I'm giving it 3 stars cause I got it for free in the GOG giveaway, and because it's an indie game, so I don't want to kill its score. But really it deserves a 1. It's practically unplayable. What I suppose happened is that the clueless developer thought they oughta write their own game engine instead of using an existing one written by superior developers. And this is the result.

Good, but some weaknesses

Just a good game like Ufo and X-Com. But: After a good long fight with many aliens you find out that there are so many more outside that this become very boring sometimes. Ironmode ist not an option at this moment. Why? Because you make the mistake to make it quickly and everybody dies. It makes fun but I look forward for Xenonauts 2 to make this better.

Good - almost great - remake of Classic

I just finished the Vanilla version (no-mods) of the game with patch-level 1.59 so following comments apply to this kind of setup. Xenonauts is a good (almost great) remake of the original X-Com (in Europe Ufo - Enemy Unknown) classic. It took me approx. 30 hours to complete the game on easy difficulty. 75 % this time was quality gaming - 25 % was boring grinding with too familiar ground maps. Almost all the areas work well and all in all I like this game more than Firaxis version which I played last year. I only have following negative comments about the game and I guess most of these might be issues which could be fixed with mods: oRepetitive maps (you get way too familiar with the maps after hours of grinding them) oPsionics and the lack of countermeasures for psi-powers. Aliens can take control of your soldiers and you cannot do literally anything for this. In original series you were able to have your own psi-soldiers and also equipment which helped against psi-powers oReapers and ship invasions (when you storm downed enemy ships the reapers and their 100% kill-rate-attack gets so boring after they use the teleport elevators to kill you soldiers) oToo narrow tech tree (more stuff to research would be nice) oAir Combat balance. Too difficult in the beginning and too easy in the end. Also the actual air-combat mini-game is not so nice and I used automatic all the time oSoldier development. You cannot influence how soldiers improve and you as you cannot influence what skills and attributes you get you don't get attached to your team (I only noticed who had the most time units - rest of the attributes in my team were pretty much a "black box" to me)

Addictive Squad Combat TBS

I haven't even played X-COM, so I was blown away by how new, how awesome the very premise of the game was. So much fun, and so addictive too. There was always one more battle, one more weapon for a soldier etc The game was always tough, but never unfair. But there was always the urge to save scum until you won every battle with no casualties. More experienced soldiers are so much better than rookies, but it's probably just me obsessing over it. You can win through the game with one reload per hour rather than eight. I don't think anyone who's into turn-based squad combat can play this game and not like it. Strongly recommended.
