Xenonauts is a strategy game in which you control a multi-national military organisation defending a Cold War-era Earth from alien invasion, using small squads of persistent soldiers to eliminate the extraterrestrials and recover their technology in turn-based ground combat. A detailed strategic layer allows you to co-ordinate the defence of the planet, using your interceptors to shoot down UFOs and researching captured artefacts to learn about your foes and unlock new combat equipment to use on your missions.

Is alright. I liked this much more than XCOM Enemy Unknown, and it's better than MOST XCOM type Clones.

-Is crashy

-Is buggy

-IS not balanced.

These might have been patched or improved since I played it.

-Base management, research etc, is not that engaging, it boils down to tactical. I think the game gets way too much attention than it deserves. The 1960's Aesthetic ad art is the one thing it got right. I totally love the cold war 1960's feel to this game. The backstory is also nice. It altogether feels very cohesive, but a bit rough.

I'd reccomend Silent Storm Sentinels over this or even Abomination (Hot House) UFO Afterlight and Aftershock patched and modded also better. Or Even Odium (Gorky 17) Visually it looks a whole heck of a lot like XCOM Apocalypse. But it has nowhere near the same kind of complexity.

If you like XCOM you are probably going to play it and that's that.
