To whom it may concern. Consensus is mixed, with the reviewering saying that whoever dislikes the cartoony, colored style of Firaxis X-Com may like Xenonauts, but should be aware of bad audio, interface and visuals. http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/xenonauts-strategic-planetary-defence-simulator/artikel/xenonauts,49809,3028495.html http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/xenonauts-strategic-planetary-defence-simulator/artikel/xenonauts,49809,3028495,2.html http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/xenonauts-strategic-planetary-defence-simulator/artikel/xenonauts,49809,3028495,fazit.html Xenonauts served at the UFO remake the opposite end of the scale as XCOM : Enemy Unknown . Who too colorful , too focused on casual gamers and too limited in its functions was the Firaxis remake , who did not like the role -playing elements with the talent selection and the campaign felt with their always the same maps as pre-cut , which was definitely a take look at the Xenonauten . Xenonauts is at least as bucking hard as the original and dispensed just like the 1994 edition to any help and tutorials, but provides veteran X-COM commander a new challenge as well as the research tree contains some surprises ( which we did not reveal at this point ) . We recommend it highly resistant to stale graphics , economical snoring presentation with animations puny and discount graphics, not existing sound effects and a cumbersome interface. In its current state as a playable Early Access version on Steam Xenonauts also still missing a lot of elements . Description texts and images in the research tree are still placeholder , the user interface is not yet final. The balancing of weapons , aliens and inserts makes far no final impression. We are curious if the final version ( which should be ready before Christmas , 2013) makes fun enough to keep us from Enemy Within , on the 12th November 2013 appearing extension to XCOM : Enemy Unknown to tear .
