I just found out that Goldhawk Interactive´s turn-based/sci-fi strategy game “Xenonauts“, has landed on GOG. And the game is all yours for 22,49 Euro. And that´s a really good deal, in my opinion. Well, at least if you like games such as X-COM, for example. As the game is said to be the “spiritual successor” to the 90s X-Com games. So if you enjoyed the old-school X-Com games. Then you´re going to love Xenonauts for sure. And it seems like the Gaming community loves Xenonauts as well (based on user reviews on GOG and Steam).

Xenonauts are ALL about turn-based action to the max.

Personally, I think that Xenonauts feels like X-Com 3.5 in a way. As X-Com 3 was the last isometric old-school title in the series. Anyhow, trust me. You´re not going to be disappointed with Xenonauts!

About Xenonauts:
Xenonauts is a strategy game in which you control a multi-national military organisation defending a Cold War-era Earth from alien invasion, using small squads of persistent soldiers to eliminate the extraterrestrials and recover their technology in turn-based ground combat.

A detailed strategic layer allows you to co-ordinate the defence of the planet, using your interceptors to shoot down UFOs and researching captured artefacts to learn about your foes and unlock new combat equipment to use on your missions.

Xenonauts is a spiritual successor to the classic X-Com strategy games from the 1990s. We aim to improve the graphics, add new content and streamline the interface whilst still retaining all of the key mechanics of the original games. Devoted fans should love this game, but we’re also keen to introduce the joys of old-school grand strategy to a whole new generation of players who might not otherwise experience it!
