Wasted opportunity
If you want to play X-Com: UFO Defense, buy X-Com for a quarter of Xenonauts' price. Xenonauts makes a few changes, some improvements and many worsenings Good points: - You no longer have to make ammunition. - Stores micromanagement is mostly eliminated. - You can determine the rank of aliens from what they wear. X-Com did this with weapons but it's nice not having to stun an entire base just in case one of them is the Lobsterman Commander you need to get to T'Leth. Bad points: - There are fewer enemy types in this game than in X-Com, incredibly. - The cartoony portraits of your units clash with the wonderful artwork of the aliens. - NO PSIONICS FOR YOU. The point where you get to turn the tables on the aliens in X-Com: UD and TFTD was one of the most satisfying parts. None of that here. - Needing to manufacture soldier weapons but not craft weapons is jarring. - Flat world map (ok) with realistic sun cover (ok), but radar ranges are fixed circles over a distorted map. - Nothing happens for days then 7 ufo groups appear at once. But you can't tell where because the dialog box is huge, so you don't know the best place to send interceptors from. - So the game is: nothing at all for days then 5 minutes of interception then 2 hours of moving your units from the right side to the left side of the battlescape. And this means that the game becomes a chore. Which X-Com never was. - There are still game-breaking bugs. It's commendable that they still work on issues after 8 years, but that they still have to is alarming. Characters getting stuck off the map edge on the very last mission made the game unwinnable until I reloaded and did the whole mission again... I wasn't highly motivated to reload. - The person on the workshop page has the very definition of a backpfeifengesicht. I'm not giving this game a one-star review because it's clear that love went into this game. Love alone isn't enough to make this game worth playing though. Especially not at this price.
