One step ahead, two backward

It's nice tactical game, for a change. There's lack of it on market. But this game much simpler than even x-com 1994, all those little thigs like endless flares, primitives firstaid kits and such, for example. In 2014 after all classic tactics like Jagged Alliance and SIlent Storm, ground combat system (and graphic) of xenonauts looks too simplified (AFAIK graphic engine choice was poor but developers take all they can from it). On the bright side there is great strategy mode. Aerial combats is something new and well done.

First Impressions

This is a first impressions not a proper review as I feel I haven't played enough of the game. Overall I'm not really enjoying this experience. The game controls are at times annoying and some of the changes made over the original Xcom are not particularly welcome. UI/Controls: One of the biggest problems I have with the game is the screen scrolling. This game is widescreen. If you play 4:3 resolution the game will give you black bars top and bottom. This as it happens is a HUGE problem because as far as battlefield scrolling is concerned, these black areas are deadzones. So if you want the screen to go north for example, if you move the mouse too far up it wont move. This is very cumbersome and pulls me out of the game constantly. Gameplay: The second biggest problem is gameplay. Some of the core mechanics of the game do not seem to be applied equally. For example in my last mission, I had a soldier "suppressed" and on my turn he was unable to do anything with 0 Time Units. Prior to that, I suppressed not one but two aliens, both of whom then in turn shot and killed one of my soldiers. Very unintuitive as to what the effects of "suppressed" actually are. When I first started the game I had almost no alien contact. In a month and a half I saw and engaged a total of one UFO. By the time I engaged a second UFO, their craft were more powerful than my interceptors could handle. On the second ground mission my soldiers were already getting psi-attacked. Research is also dumbed down with weapons being grouped together (like all laser weapons). The infopedia entries are sometimes written in an unprofessional manner with personal notes for the commander and sometimes reference other technology suggesting there's an intended path of researching them. Some animations take too long to play. Such as crouching/standing. Delays the game. Overall I can't see myself playing it for very long.

At long last.

Brilliant. Take the original xcom, bring the graphics up-to-date, remove the flaws, add what was missing, throw in some great music and sound FX, and you have Xenonauts. I have been waiting for this for a very long time, and it was worth it.

Even better than the 1994 original!

This game is kind of a remake of the original UFO Enemy Unknown. I like it even more, because you can focus on interesting thing, leaving the (boring) micro management to the game (no more tracking how much ammo each individual soldier or plane has at the moment, or if we are having enough clips in each store). Graphics is really nice, gameplay, missions are superb.

Attention all TV users!

The game is really promising. XCOM remodernized. A ton of nice and deep options, and a lot closer to the 1994 original than the new Enemy Unknown / Within. However, there is one thing that all TV users should know: The game has unscalable fonts, and they are way too small! On a large HD TV, the game is utterly unplayable, even if you play on lower resolutions. What a shame. So, add 3-4 stars if you play on a monitor. Nowadays the font size should not be an issue!
