What is the current state of the Early Access version? There's a lot of work left to do, but it's much easier to do it when we have a community around the game reporting problems and giving us suggestions!вЂќ the main base / air combat mechanics) that we need to to spend more time experimenting with!Д«asically, we'll be spending the Early Access phase of development adding in missing features and content, and polishing what is already in place. Several parts of the game need further development and design work, hopefully in collaboration with our community - the AI is not particularly advanced yet, and there's several new strategic systems (e.g. The visuals of the game will also be polished and improved, and we'll be iterating on the interface to make it easier to use and nicer to look at! We'll be adding significant amounts of content in Early Access - more maps, more mission types, more equipment, more enemies, etc. We're working hard to improve and refine the gameplay, fix a lot of usability / stability issues, and add more content. вЂњThe final version of Xenonauts-2 will be a tough strategic and tactical challenge, but the Early Access is not yet at that level.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? We'll keep working on the game until we're happy with it!вЂќ вЂњWe are expecting the game to remain in Early Access for approximately six months - but it may be longer than that. The community feedback we gained during the development of the first Xenonauts made a huge difference to the final quality of the game and we're looking forward to working with the community to make Xenonauts-2 as good as it can be!вЂќДЄpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? This means the game will be a far more polished and enjoyable experience for everyone when it finally launches! But if nothing else, seeing as you already have XCOM, you're probably better off starting with that.вЂњWe are using Early Access to allow us to thoroughly test Xenonauts-2 and experiment with the features and balance of the game prior to release. Now, part I admit that I've got a lot more nostalgia for XCOM than Xenonauts, which probably colors my opinion a bit. Additionally, a lot of the new things you can find in Xenonauts are things that you can find in the absolutely massive modding scene in XCOM. A good chunk of the aliens and tech levels are pretty much carbon copies.

The suppression mechanic is kind of wonky, the UI is pretty cluttered and unclear if you're not sure what you're looking at, and the early game ( especially the air game) is pretty brutal if you don't already know what you're doing.ДЄnd of course, everything that isn't a new mechanic is just lifted wholesale from XCOM. The thing is though, some of the mechanics are kind of a mixed bag. It's not actually super helpful, but I just love the mechanic. And my absolute favorite part, there's a chance that there will be random armed civilians on missions, who might help you out in your missions. You can just bomb crashed UFOs instead of going through a ton of tedious runs, there's a cover system similar to the new XCOM, and you can deploy your own shields for more flexible engagements. It's got a lot of features which are actually pretty interesting and are in some ways an improvement over the original. That doesn't make it a bad game, don't get me wrong.

Xenonauts really feels like a mod of XCOM rather than its own stand-alone game, and I can't justify spending $25 on it. The game is under VERY heavy RNG influence, and that isn't everyone's cup of tea.ДЄs someone who's played a lot of both of them, I'd recommend the original xcom (using openxcom, as u/ivandogovich suggests). Maybe you'll like it a lot, maybe you won't. (I don't know the exact names of those mods)

If you're really interested in the game, there are several things that are IMHO mandatory: Then you start getting so many UFOs that you just bite the bullet and auto-resolve. There's a dread mechanism which just fucks up your TUs randomly.ДЄir combat is fun at first. Your 'overwatch' (reserved TUs) is a random roll of the dice.Д¬learing UFO command rooms is horrible enough that any attempts at Ironman will fail. experience, but it's very frustrating in many ways.Д¬over is poo (and you realize why as soon as you go with the Community Edition, which is more or less mandatory), and line of sight is even worse yes, you will be shot at by an alien, and you won't be able to shoot back.
