A good unofficial remake of X-Com. It fixes some things that were annoying in X-Com- no more micromanaging bullets, for example. They deliberately made the game is easy to mod for example, just by editing text files- so if you want to change the starting $ or something else it is very simple. The only real negatives I saw as I played were this: The maps you can play on are not randomized like X-Com's and there are not NEARLY enough of them. They get repetitive quickly. This can be negated somewhat by downloading a map pack from the goldhawk forums. It is possible that the current version of Xenonauts includes the map pack now, I am not sure; I had to download it separately when I bought the game. The aliens are kind of dull, they are almost all various bipeds. Not as weird as the creatures in X-com. Other than those two points, it is a great game was lots of fun to play.
Great story, great characters, excellent setting, good combat... fun game!
Lovely graphics, strong story and characters. Puzzles are mostly very good too.
Good story and voice acting! As others has said it is very short. It could use a little more fleshing out.
A good adventure. Interesting characters and dialogue. The graphics were also nicely done, and the voice acting was excellent. The puzzles were logical. The only thing that detracted (a little) from this game is that I wasn't too fond of the direction the game takes at the end. I would like to see a sequel!
The good- the game has a lot of creepy moments and the story is good. The negative- some of the puzzles require illogical actions to complete tasks. The graphics, while sometimes intriguing, are more bad than atmospheric. I mean, it doesn't help the games atmosphere to try and squint at the screen to try and identify the literal blobs of pixels. Conclusion- it is worth the $2 I paid but not much more.
