Softie Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just had to say hello as a new Xenonauts player. I'm an Xcom veteran from the old days and have continued playing on DosBox periodically ever since. One of the great pleasures from the originals was the clanking sound when troops exited the Skyranger and the squelchy sounds of the rubber boots in TFTD. This always helped compensate for the blocky graphics and added extra immersion. I got that exact warm glow when I first reloaded some improved weaponry in Xenonauts with that delightful "powering up" hum. The alien chittering and howling is every bit a match for the originals and the music imposes the same levels of dread and paranoia late at night. The ultimate testament is that I now get a red alien head on the edge of my vision whilst walking outside when I used to get the red box with the number. Great job.

Chris Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thanks for posting - glad you think the game does what we hoped it would! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD5Ray01 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Xenonauts is a really fun game. I love that you don't have to deal with making a choice between 3 separate missions at one time. Instead, you can send troops to any location where a UFO has crashed or landed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
