The music and the artwork make everything feel very menacing and imminent, like you are always responding to a catastrophe and dreading what will be happening next. All of the technology that is at your disposal looks a little bit dated, by today’s standards. Xenonauts takes place in the late 70’s and early 80s and the style really fits. I will try to keep comparisons to the 2012 XCOM to a minimum however, sometimes they are unavoidable. You will be in charge of setting up a global defence network that will shoot down enemy ships then send in ground forces clean up the crash sites and respond to attacks against civilians. The Earth is being invaded by extraterrestrials and the player takes up the role as the commander of a task force whose sole mission is to fight back against this alien invasion. Members of the XCOM community didn’t like the idea of XCOM being a shooter so they went out to develop a game that they thought properly represented what they liked about XCOM. Xenonauts is a game that was developed as a response to the announcement of the shooter The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, but before the announcement of the 2012 XCOM by Firaxis. This is when I stumbled into a little gem called Xenonauts. I was so excited that I need to find something to play to get my XCOM fix until XCOM2 was released. Regardless, When XCOM2 was announced I was already caught, hook line and sinker. Although, that doesn’t actually work out in practice. My profile on steam says that I have played 35 hours of that game, and I went out and bought it again for iOS so that I could play it on my tablet, when I had a few minutes to spare. I didn’t actually play the original XCOM games, but I did buy and play the 2012 Firaxis remake to death. I am pretty sure that I qualify as an XCOM fan. The devs say, "we'll probably only start charging for the game when the Ground Combat and Geoscape are working and linked together.Quite possibly the best turn based alien defence strategy game in existence.

It's free for now but will be coming paid to Steam Early Access later in development. Goldhawk plan to release updated builds fortnightly on a Tuesday, starting February 28th.
If you’re interested in Xenonauts-2 then please come play it and give us some feedback on our forums – it’s cool if you don't want to pay for the game while it's still in Early Access, your thoughts are still really helpful." We want to know now if specific things in the game really annoy players, or if our game runs badly on specific hardware combinations – if we only find that stuff out after release we’ll wind up with bad reviews and angry customers. The feedback of people who aren't willing to pay $25 for an Early Access game is just as valuable as that of anyone else. "Why release builds of the game for free? The short answer is that our community is providing us a service just by playing the game and giving us feedback on it. Swing on by GOG, where the demo is distributed through the GOG Galaxy client. Goldhawk actually started releasing Xenonauts dev builds quietly in January but now they're reaching to a wider audience. It's going 3D, for starters, while expanding the strategic layer and dabbling in story more. "We can be a bit more original and innovative in our designs this time around, as we are not constrained by the obligations of remaking the classic X-Com formula!" Goldhawk have said. Xenonauts 2 isn't a direct sequel, instead going back to the Cold War era to reimagine Xenonauts (and X-COM) a bit. They'll start charging money once the game's in good enough shape but paying with feedback is peachy-dory for now. You can play one single mission right now, then Goldhawk plan to expand this pre-alpha demo fortnightly. Now you can see how its sequel is shaping up, as developers Goldhawk Interactive are releasing development builds of Xenonauts 2 for free. When X-COM cast off its hyphen and complexity to become XCOM, Xenonauts was handily here with old-school alien-busting.
