Hey Ben - developer of the game here. Thanks for covering us, really enjoyed your X-Com Files series! PLEASE consider doing the tutorial off-camera, it’s only five minutes long and explains the new controls for force-fire and the move+shoot shot preview that can be super handy! I’ll have a look at the balance on that Abduction mission where you lost most of your team. I think you were pretty unlucky though - that’s a lot of enemies to spawn around the dropship and Psyons can be brutal if you don’t know how Mesmerise works (which you won’t until you kill them and get the autopsy report). Basically it won’t trigger if you hit them with the shot (or any shots in the burst), or they’re not facing towards you, or they’re suppressed. Anyway, thanks for playing and hope you enjoy the rest of the playthrough!

i don't remember if it was like this in xenonauts 1 but i love that you can see the stats of each potential hire. i mean it makes so much sense, you would likely get them to go through a boot camp or some sort of a test before hiring them for one of the most prestigious organizations on earth. heck, they probably are already professional soldiers who probably have seen live combat some time in their life, they probably have actual stats

Something of note when playing the demo, the little sectiods get MASSIVE aim boosts when even just one other sectiod is nearby. Had a shitty situation where I was using smokes to choke them out and then get close to tase them. Ended up losing half the squad because nobody could shoot through the smoke but the aliens and they were landing quite often. Keep in mind every tile of smoke drastically reduces accuracy. Unless this was a bug, just note they're incredibly deadly given you don't just shoot them.

Well, I actually like the 3d part and use it in game all the time. I don't like being able to see my enemies because of walls, my soldiers don't see. So I use it a lot. Now some will argue that I don't and that's it's not really that useful, but according to me it is. I don't play Xenonauts 1 anymore now, because I feel like this game is better. I would also recommend anyone to use the 3d simply because it helps with how much ground your soldiers have actually covered. I'd even argue that some aliens are more dangerous, because they rely more on stealth and you are helping them, if you don't use 3d.
@diendiadre
Жыл бұрын
Also the 2d allowed for things that wasn't really possible, simply because looking wasn't done in a realistic way, so sometimes you saw someone you didn't and sometimes you didn't see someone you should have seen. You also shoot bullets through a lot more walls. You also threw a lot of grenades through those walls. Could be very annoying when the enemy threw grenades at you.
