Xenonauts base construction mission6/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Soldier equipment selection bring the right weapons for the job at hand. Later in the game the aliens have fighter escorts that accompany the larger vessels. ![]() Failure to take these out can result in a Terror Mission, which is a large scale alien attack. ![]() Only it doesn’t look like a large scale alien attack – the areas aren’t in ruins and chaos, which I found disappointing. I think this is where XCOM: Enemy Unknown excelled, as they got the sound and the styling of small environments down to a tee. Capturing the leaders can prove a difficult task, as you don’t really notice the difference between killing or capturing them. Information screens are common and are extremely well drawn. Overall, playing the game has been extremely fun. The pacing is excellent, and the difficulty does increase considerably the longer you play. The trickier aliens don’t really appear until the larger alien crafts arrive, but by then you’re usually well equipped. The information screens after the autopsy / research make for an interesting read, giving much insight on the alien physiology and what could be going on, or what’s on the way. My only quarrel with the game is that when hiring new soldiers you can’t preview their look before you select them, meaning you get a few twins. It would also be nice to be able to aquire equipment that gives protection from Psionic mind control. I hope modders will add a lot to this game, and hopefully the game designers will release more content in the future, as it definitely leaves you wanting more.The Xenonauts step forward and claim responsibility, asking the world's governments for funding and permission to operate in their territories against extraterrestrial forces. ![]()
