For fans of the old X-COM games Xenonauts is engaging enough but quite frankly I'm glad I got if for free. Obviously a lot of work has gone into the game's splendid art but that time and expense would have been better spent on the gameplay. The way that angles and cover work is often maddeningly frustrating. When I cannot lob a grenade over a cot-bed something is wrong. When I have a soldier with an accuracy of 75 standing right next to an alien and they still only have a 65% chance of hitting them then something is wrong. When my soldier cannot hit an alien at a distance because something is 100% blocking me but the same alien can shoot my soldier without moving then something is wrong. If you have a mind to play it I would wait for the price to drop to $10 or less. Not worth it at the current price.
