I just played the demo. I can see the game being fun and I probably buy when gets a bit cheaper but, it does feels like a watered down XCOM. The one thing I really don't like is the aliens moving once you spot them. Do the alien "mobs" move around the map? Or do they just sit and wait for you to find them? Sounds boring, I wanna be zerg rushed or something. I assume the aliens in Xenonauts will do this. And I'll miss Saving Private Ryan Syndrome as well.
And I hate having small squads a lot more after playing too. I WANT MOAR MENZ TO PLAY WIV GODDAMNIT!!!
And the sniper being move-or-shoot. And FFS commander guy why the hell would you not put the sniper on the roof.
