XENONAUTS 2 AIR COMBAT FULL
The result is a game with a fresh setting and story, a streamlined interface and updated game mechanics with countless new features.Ĭheck out our new site over at to get full details on the game. While it shares the same core mechanics that made the original so compelling, Xenonauts has been reinvented and re-imagined from the ground up to fit modern times. Xenonauts is neither a sequel to X-Com, nor a remake of it. Humanity's very survival rests on your shoulders. This is strategy on a grand scale commander, tactician, and quartermaster - you must master them all if you are to succeed in defeating the alien menace. Construct your bases and manage your budget carefully to keep your forces well-equipped and the aliens at bay, buying yourself enough time to unlock the secrets of extraterrestrial technology and turn it against its masters. Battle alien craft with your interceptors in the skies above Earth, and attack them on the ground in tense turn-based squad combat with your elite strike teams. Xenonauts is a planetary defence simulator, putting the player in command of a global organisation tasked with defending the planet against extraterrestrial invasion. Goldhawk Interactive is therefore taking the opportunity to officially announce its own title slated for release later this year. It may well turn out to be an excellent game, but it’s not exactly what strategy gamers had been waiting 15 years for – a point many people have made, loudly. Yesterday 2K announced that they were working on the official sequel to the classic X-Com franchise, showing as reckless a disregard for history as for hyphens when they revealed it would be a first-person title named XCOM. Here's the announcement, and there's tons more detail on the site. It also has a cute genesis - its lead designer Chris England (who is indeed from England) says he was inspired to create an X-COM remake after we wished for one on our podcast. As has been mentioned by various people, someone like Stardock would be insane to not pick up this baton - there's a vast and willing audience out there.įirst out the gate, though, is indie title Xenonauts, which is militant in its desire to do X-COM properly. While it's unlikely a major publisher would tackle it, the door is not closed to someone else doing that. The important thing is having a game that plays as X-COM did, with its sublime multi-genre cleverness. In terms of fiction, X-COM has only ever been about killing aliens. A secondary question is "why is everyone so upset that it's using the X-COM IP?" The IP is not what's important about X-COM. The enduring question around 2K Australia's upcoming XCOM FPS has been "why not just come up with a new IP?" Well, that three posts about X-COM each clocked up triple-figures of comments on Wednesday is the answer to that.
