Xenonauts is a strategy game in which you control a multi-national military organisation defending a Cold War-era Earth from alien invasion, using small squads of persistent soldiers to eliminate the extraterrestrials and recover their technology in turn-based ground combat. A detailed strategic layer allows you to co-ordinate the defence of the planet, using your interceptors to shoot down UFOs and researching captured artefacts to learn about your foes and unlock new combat equipment to use on your missions.
Xenonauts is a spiritual successor to the classic X-Com strategy games from the 1990s. We aim to improve the graphics, add new content and streamline the interface whilst still retaining all of the key mechanics of the original games. Devoted fans should love this game, but we're also keen to introduce the joys of old-school grand strategy to a whole new generation of players who might not otherwise experience it!
Ground Combat: Xenonauts delivers tense turn-based combat across realistic, varied and fully-destructible battlefields, against almost fifty different variants of enemy. Missions range from capturing crashed UFOs or alien bases to defending cities (or even Xenonaut facilities) against alien attack. You'll experience the chill of encountering a new alien for the first time and the joys of test-firing a new weapon for the first time. Deeply asymmetric combat keeps the battles interesting - after all, you're fighting intergalactic invaders with 1970's ballistic technology!
Persistent Soldiers: Soldiers in Xenonauts are persistent from mission to mission, improving their stats and gaining ranks with combat experience - but their deaths are always only a single bad move away. You will grow to care about the brave men and women under your command as they slowly grow from green rookies into hardened veterans, but that only makes it more painful when their heroic tale is cruelly cut short by a burst of plasma fire...
Research Tree: Xenonauts has an extensive research tree with almost a hundred projects to unlock, each with its own unique description and painted artwork. It slowly reveals the intentions and origins of the invaders, while also unlocking new battlefield equipment, aircraft and vehicles for you to use as you harness alien technology and turn it against them.
+ Cold war setting
+ Difficulty
+ Adult game
+ Lenght
+ Program runs very well
+ Nice mods who runs well
- Cold war setting kind of wasted IMO
- I think that Goldhawk could come up with original aliens and narrative
Great remake of X-COM! Sadly, it's in 32-bit format, and therefore it will not work unless its developers bother upgrading it to 64-bit version. Please do so, for maximum stars rating.
More complex than the reboot, but also more tedious
Having only played the reboot of XCOM, I was happy to have a chance to experience the old XCOM's feel without its dated interface. At first I had a lot of fun with it. Then the game became more and more of a chore sadly. I don't think I'll finish the campaign TBH.
I'll start with the good parts: I could figure out the interface much faster than the old XCOM game, the 2d graphics are nice and the art style, while odd, has grown on me. The air-war of the game is fun, way better than in the reboot. In my first week-and-a-half, it did give me that one-more-turn feel. And the different weapon types (pistol, shotgun, rifle, sniper, machine gun) are nicely balanced and all have their uses.
My problem is that the game takes too long and changes too little. The ground-assault missions are fun at first, but you have to do so many of them during the campaign that they get pretty repetitive.
Weirdly, the 1-minute airbattles that you can just autoresolve DO change as the game progresses, with research unlocking new planes that have only missiles or only guns. But the 30+ minute ground battles stay mostly the same. The devs seemed so pleased with the balance of the weapon types, they didn't want to mess with it: You can get laser-, then plasma-, then railgun weapons, but only the damage changes. Otherwise, the laser-pistol functions just like the regular plstol. Your soldiers level up, but they don't learn new tricks either, they just get better stats, making them better at what they were already doing.
Oh, and for XCOM veterans, two points on psionic powers. 1: Humans never get them, so forget about that spicing up the combat. 2: Aliens get them, and it sucks. Psions don't need line of sight and mindcontroled soldiers can act before you can. It's up to the RNG if a psionic alien mindcontrols your machinegunner from across the map and makes him immediately one-hit-kill one of the soldiers you spend hours leveling. No counter, no defense, no fun.
Ubuntu Mate 18.04 - This game runs excellently on all of my systems with UB 18.04 on them. I own this game on Steam, Humble Bundle and now GOG. If you're a fan of X-COM or turn based strategy games as a whole, this game is a must play.
If I could stop losing my teams to splash damage, I would have a decent shot of ending it....
I was excited to try Xenonauts as I'm a huge fan of XCOM. I wasn't able to get past the start-screen however, as the available resolutions made the `start game` menu item fall off the bottom of my screen. The only possible solution was to choose a terrible low resolution but then it's in window mode with only half of my screen filled + the fonts are unreadable.
As I found no clue on the GOG page, I went over to the official website of Xenonauts and there I found this...
"Linux and Mac versions of the game are available on both platforms but are not officially supported; they were created for legacy customers and no technical support will be provided for those platforms!'
This said, It's an absolute disgrace that GOG marks this game as a Mac game. 0/10
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
