I almost wept when I played this game
It turns out that GOG allows only very short reviews, so I'll be brief. The game is an exact remake of the old UFO/X-Com games, with all their flaws untouched, some new problems addend and absolutely no interesting new content whatsoever. We got anticlimactic graphics, lousy sound, and completely counter-intuitive interface that forces us to click around like crazy. Even Terror From the Deep was better in this aspect. The worst element of the game is also it’s the most important part. I’m talking about tactical missions here. It’s hard to figure out what our actual line of sight is (darkness makes it even more problematic). Weapons have very limited range just “because” (it used to be limited by hardware), scrolling between our clones is performed without any assistance that would allow us not to waste time on troops who already have their TUs spent, we have to guess where we can fire or throw grenades and where it is impossible. If I had more space, I would describe awful mechanisms of outfitting troops, the biggest disappointment of the game that is dogfighting, and lagging strategic view. The game feels like as if it was made in the year 1995 or even earlier. It has absolutely nothing to do with X-Com Apocalypse. It’s a very poor tribute to UFO: Enemy Unknown, especially to all flaws of the oldest games because all of them are still here in 2014. Xenonauts is appropriate only for fanatics of the genre.
