To be fair, I like new X-COM: Enemy Unknown, it's spectacular tactical action, but this is trying to replace your imagination and moving in gutter of modern science fiction trends - super-duper organization with super-duper HQ is saving the world, so pretentiously. And I glad to found that all of it can be reached and refreshed with Xenonauts. For a reason I remember X-COM: Apocalypse more, especially destruction "skyscrapers" from sky with jetpacks).
Personally, I can't say that original UFO: Enemy Unknown/ Terror from the Deep were games that I played for months of my youth, economic strategies wasn't what I got good, but I liked its tactical mode. In the same time while people are argue about what best of X-COM is - classic or modded Firaxis' XCOM: Long War, in the shadow of such discussions we have Xenonauts and it's a miracle. The game never plays out the same way twice! Launch a mission at night-time and you will be fighting with reduced sight range in the darkness. shoot down a Scout UFO over the Arctic and you will get a mission to capture a crashed Scout UFO in the polar tileset. Emergent Simulation: Missions are not pre-scripted but are based on your actions e.g.Persistent Soldiers: Your soldiers gain rank and improve their abilities from mission to mission – assuming you can keep them alive!.Research Tree: Harness the alien technology and turn it against them! Explore an extensive research tree that unlocks upgrades and equipment for your soldiers and interceptors, whilst also slowly revealing the intentions and origins of the invaders.Your funds are limited – are you going to spend them on new combat equipment, more scientists for the research effort, or expanding your interceptor squadrons? Strategic Management: Manage the defence of the planet on the strategy layer, balancing the needs of your funding nations with your own.Missions include everything from capturing crashed UFOs and alien bases to defending cities (or even Xenonaut facilities) against alien attack! Ground Combat: Experience tense turn-based combat across varied and fully-destructible battlefields against a multitude of different alien species.The first Xenonauts is a direct spiritual success to UFO: Enemy Unknown (1994), but Xenonauts-2 takes the franchise down its own path and offers a new twist on an old formula! The franchise has been heavily inspired by the classic X-Com strategy games. They are split across a tactical level where your team of (persistent) soldiers battles the alien ground forces and recovers their technology, and a strategic management level. Xenonauts is strategy game in which you control a multi-national military organisation attempting to defend a Cold War-era Earth from alien invasion.
