Xenonauts 2

Szóhoz sem jutok, de összességében tényleg nem egy folytatásról van szó hanem egy újra értelmezett első részről ezt tartsuk szem előtt :) Kiforrott mechanikával amik működtek az első részben azok itt tovább lettek fejlesztve, a történet több narratívát kap majd a vége felé, ez nem volt meg az első részben, új mechanikával is találkozunk új itemekkel és új ellenfél típusokkal egyaránt :) Tudom javasolni azoknak akik jatszottak az első résszel, csalódni nem fognak és tudom javasolni azoknak is akik most először kezdenének bele mert ez történet szempontjából az első rész csak egy alternatív ujrázással, szerintem kifejezetten nehéz és büntető játék lett ha a fedezékeket figyelmen kívül hagyod, teljesen xcom hangulata van csak sokkal büntetőbb :)

A great, challenging, turn based tactical combat game. It's a pretty faithful reproduction of the classic X-Com series, with enough new elements and quality of life improvements to make it an enjoyable updated experience. So how does it play? There is a strategic layer, where you manage your base, research and build new tech, recruit soldiers and so on. There is a fun air tactical mini game where you shoot down alien UFOs. And then there is the heart of the game, the turn based tactical game. You move your soldiers into position to shoot the aliens, they shoot back, and you take it in turns until you are hopefully victorious. Suppression fire and overwatch fire add to the tactics, and pretty much all terrain is destructible with explosives, giving you options for removing enemy cover if you need to. Snipers, heavy weapons, shotguns, all have their roles, even guys with a shield and a pistol can be very helpful in finding the enemy! Upgrading armour and weapons help keep things interesting, and there is a bit of an arms race between your researchers and the more deadly aliens who appear later in the game. It is a challenging game, you will definitely lose soldiers on some of the harder missions. Unless you are playing on Ironman there is an autosave running every turn though, so it shouldn't be impossible to recover from a stupid mistake. I had to reload a couple of times, once when I'd fallen behind on the research curve due to missing a couple of UFO interceptions, and once when I messed up on an alien Terror mission and was looking at a squad wipe of my best soldiers. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys strategy games.

If you like turn based tactical combat, this is a fun game.

Старое доброе UFO, надеюсь появится X-COM.

Excellent game! Everything - geoscape, base building, research, production, air combat, tatical battles - comes together perfectly. My personal favorite is tactical level - so many ways to beat a mission.

Endlich wieder das alte XCom feeling. Flugzeuge ausrüsten, UFOs abschiessen und plündern. XCom2 war einfach zu komplex und überladen und hatte keine Bassen mehr, Xenonauts bringt all das zurück! Hatte erst bedenken wegen der Grafik, aber das etwas minimierte ist sehr angenehm und störte mich nicht weiter. Schwierigkeitsgrad auf Soldat war völlig in Ordnung und brauchte keine Mods. Man kann sich außerdem trotz Bombardements Zeit lassen, wenn man in den Regionen schon die Panik im Griff hat, ebenso mit dem Endgame bis man das maxiumum an Soldaten und Ausrüstung hat. Das Geld hat sich definitiv gelohnt.

Xenonauts 2 takes everything that worked in 1 and improves it. Whether you played the first game, or are a fan of the original X-com or similar games I highly recommend Xenonauts 2. I especially appreciated the diverse mission types against the cleaners in the early game, I wish those unique mission continued as the campaign progressed. I liked how streamlined this was compared tot he first game as well and the quality of life improvements included as well. While this was undoubtedly an improvement over the first game, it is hard to refute claims that it feels like Xenonauts 1.5. That being said, I loved the first game and having even more was great! I just wish there was less overlap with the first game. I'm interested in seeing what the future holds for Xenonauts and whether we'll see a Terror From The Deep like sequel or Apocalypse-like sequel, or something original. Thank you so much to the developers and everyone involved in bringing us another great game!

Following the XCOM formula, this is probably the best tactical-RPG-comedy game on the market. PROS: -Maps: The presentation stands out immediately. It's simple but it has its own aesthetic, and each prop conveys all the information you need from cover to doors and explosives, etc etc... And most of everything is destructible from cars to walls to even collapsing floors from underneath enemies that can lead to a knockout or death (this goes both ways). Later game with vehicles and explosives it is a joy seeing the map blowing apart and give you opportunities or nasty surprises. -Basebuilding: Great, with a lot of options and some leeway to allow for learning. You start with one base that you can build anywhere continental, and from there you conduct your defensive operations. As things escalate you can build more bases with more capabilities to allow for more deployments of aircrafts or troops in order to get resources and run offensive operations. The over map basically allow you to spend Operation Points to do different things like garner fundings, reduce panic, increase research... To things like elimination of alien infiltrators to wean off negative effects. Overworld is more or less a numbers game but it carry the illusion well.. -Gameplay pros: It's pretty straightforward but incredibly addictive. You control individuals and/or robot in a squad and you have a ton of customizable options like picking troops' roles and weapons carried down to the magazine or smoke grenade. Then you deploy them into combat zones, each of which depends on the current scenario or escalation phase. You also deploy aircrafts to intercept UFOs, and most of the ones you shot down anywhere in the world you can actually send troops to capture and extract resources. Generally there's a great organic and "planned spontaneity" quality to the game. And the gameplay can be difficult and tense and deaths can be sudden so you need to keep up with the tech arms race. Sometimes the game will throw difficulty spikes at you to remind you that this is a war, you never had the upperhand, but I think it keeps you engaged and thinking about what move is good and what to prioritize and what to let go. In the end it the day meat is cheap and you can always recruit more, the main goal is to win the war. And yes it's XCOM, the RNG is built in but usually a good mix of talents, alien knowledge and positioning worth far more than relying praying to RNGus. -No more overwatch mechanic: good riddance. Overwatch was a bloated legacy mechanic that was used mainly to make staying still engaging. Overwatch is the equivalence of standing still with your head poking out waiting for something to pass; tactically you're just begging to get shot. Instead, if you still have AP saved at the end of the round, you will spend that AP automatically returning fire against enemies firing at you. CONS: -Gameplay cons: It's basically still XCOM, so if you found the percentage rolls infuriating this might not fully change your mind, that means you WILL miss 95% shots, sometimes in a row. Though unlike XCOM, this game will not lie to you where the misses go. So you will have instances where the game registers an 80% chance to hit for each bullet out of a 3x burst volleys, but if one bullet rolls bad it can literally veer in a direction that isn't anywhere forward and CAN kill your teammate. In pitch combat or close quarters you can have situations like your machine gunner inexplicably whipping his arms and shooting his LASER machine gun off the wall and suppressing himself, or your grenade launcher round leaving the barrel sideway like a ripened fruit and killed 3 of your own troops. It's a glorious slapstick of a combat roll system, it sometimes is pure laugh-out-loud comedy masquerading as a tactical game, and because it is so funny to fail, you learn to love the game exactly because of the silly RNG even if you hate the substance of it. Push comes to shove, remember that meat is extremely cheap in this game to just let you buff out 2-3 deaths per each larger ops, and you are encouraged to save scum anyway since the game knows death is sudden and warm bodies are plenty, so enjoy the ride. However, one grievance is that the game uses a top-down 2D line of sight system for percentage of hit, so even if there's a small pair of shoes (literally) between you aiming your gun and your target, that's automatically a -10% accuracy. Also as I mentioned before due to how the each shot are simulated independently, you tend to more likely shoot and destroy your own cover if you miss the shot. Seeing your sniper shot with a 90% chance to hit the enemy, but instead inexplicably decided to aim downward, destroy her own solid cover... Funny at first but that joke can get old after the 80th times telling it.
