Nov. 2024

Game is fun, good lore, cool animations, gives good nostalgia vibes of an old game, but can sometimes be unbearably unfair even on easy difficulty.

Nov. 2024

It's basically XCOM. And I love XCOM. It's not XCOM. Nothing is XCOM except XCOM, but this is pretty good. It can get a little repetitive, but that's when you load your whole squad with rocket launchers and go have a blast. The game is stable on vanilla, I tried using the Community Edition with Lore+ and Armored Assault mods, but the game crashed like every 10 minutes with those. I reinstalled and haven't had a crash in days. If you never played XCOM before, this is a good place to start your alien defense simulator adventure. You manage everything and it's really like 3 games in 1 where you manage your development, do air battles with UFOs, then go to the crash sites to get tactical on dem AYYYS. It's kinda like Fallout 1&2 and Fallout Tactics. Turn-based, beer&pretzels, save anytime type of deal. Plus they did a really good job with the hardware, I love just looking at them planes and guns.

Oct. 2024

Played more than 77 on another launcher. This game is ridiculously hard - I have never come anywhere near completeing... in other words 10/10

Sept. 2024

The game is really good. I've never played the original XCOM so this was a little challenging(but in a good way). Has a couple of bugs but nothing game breaking.

Sept. 2024

The game is fun! That being said if you are playing it on Windows 10/11 or possibly even slightly older OSs expect this game to crash CONSTANTLY! Tabbing out will almost always be a crash, unless you are willing to power through this consider Xenonaughts 2.
