Forgot to say it's called Xenonauts.

I liked it, no idea what they were planning with Xenonauts 2

It was mediocre as hell. It was as if someone said "Let's make XCOM for MODERN AUDIENCES" and decided that was best accomplished by pushing a stripped down version of XCOM where half of the systems they "simplified" no longer had a reason to exist except that they were in XCOM.

It felt like the game was constantly railroading me into playing the "Correct" way, which was extremely at odds with what made the original XCOM so much fun.

Maybe they planned a straight sequel ala X-COM Interceptor before XCOM 2 came and decided to change it as a pseudo reboot to avoid comparisons and be more original?

I will try it out and make a thread about it

I haven't played it long before bouncing off of it but the only word I can use to describe it is "Sterile"

Not a true clone, it's real time and thus more of a Baldur's Gate clone.

How does a nu xcom babby such as myself get into og xcom or xenonauts or the like?
The artstyle really filters me
For the record I'm okay with menu autism, I like phoenix point's global strategy layer

What's wrong with Ufo Defense's artstyle?

It's probably not his cup of tea, it's ok I didn't like the artstyle either, too animesque; minor point, but the mutons were invisible in the jungle.

It looks like shit. 2 doesn't seem that big of an improvement. As such I tried the other one with the crab enemies. Had some interesting mechanics like the aiming system.
