Friendly local military and law enforcement NPC infantry present in ground combat.The inclusion of a directional cover system in the ground combat.Havent played it myself but I heard the gears of wars turn based strategy game was good. Semi-random map generation for ground combat. Xenonauts, Xenonauts 2(currently in early access), Warhammer 40k mechanicus and Phoenix point are my favorites.The ability to change the weapon loadouts of ground vehicles.The starting position of infantry and vehicles can be arranged inside the dropship.Soldier equipment loadouts are saved between missions.A more detailed soldier background system.An improved pausable real-time air combat model that allows combat between up to three aircraft/UFOs on each side.Background is painted from scratch with no reference. įeatures advertised by Goldhawk as 'enhancements' to the original X-COM model include the following (although many have appeared in other spiritual successors): the aircraft designed by Francois Cannels Painted over on a 3D base model by xenonauts team. Soldiers will develop their attributes through combat experience, and it has been confirmed (and demonstrated) that terrain in the ground combat maps will be destructible. Basic values have been adjusted accordingly (6 is max number of UFO that can spawn with one Xenonaut base, while it is flat 7 in the original). It has been confirmed that the game will retain the 'fundamental mechanics' of X-COM, in this case considered to be a real-time global air control and strategic management / research component of the game, coupled with turn-based ground combat where the player controls a squad of soldiers and vehicles against the alien forces. Max number of possible UFOs that can spawn per wave has been changed to increase by 1 for each Xenonauts base present. The team is releasing regular updates on their site so it is possible to check up the progress making a preorder. Īs of January 2012, a final release date has been suggested as Autumn 2012. A provisional release date was set as Autumn 2012. Pre-order benefits include early beta access and a discounted price over planned release pricing. In November 2010, the project launched a revamped website and announced that they were accepting pre-orders.
#Xenonauts base background upgrade
Xenonauts contains a lot of text and it’s engaging stuff, whether describing an alien’s guts or the reasoning behind an interceptor’s upgrade costs.
Instead of talking heads, Goldhawk’s game constructs its connective tissue with text and illustrations. It is marketed as a Cold War-era (starting in 1979) based "planetary defence simulator" answer to 2K's XCOM which has already alienated many fans due to its FPS-based gameplay. Xenonauts does something similar, although it isn’t obvious at first.
The game was announced in response to the official first-person reboot XCOM, however is described by the development team as neither a remake or a clone, but rather "a re-imaging". The weapon also appears in game files in the "Soviet" weapon set, and is seen in two versions one with wooden furniture and one with black, presumably polymer, furniture.The game is heavily influenced by the X-COM series, and is considered by some to be its spiritual successor. The appearance of this weapon in the hands of Soviet troops is somewhat anachronistic, as by 1979 it would have been somewhat replaced by either the AKM or AK-74. Although it is not available for equipment pre-mission, if a Xenonaut soldier picks one up while on mission, it is saved as part of their loadout when they return to base.
#Xenonauts base background update
In earlier builds, picking one up during a mission transformed the gun into an M16 however, an update gave it its own GUI image, albeit without any statistical difference from the M16 other than magazine capacity. It cannot be equipped by Xenonaut troops in between missions. The AK-47 appears in game in the hands of NPC Soldiers and Local Forces during missions in the Soviet Union and Middle East.
Despite it's former name, the weapon appears on farm tilesets regardless of location. GUI Image of the "Soviet Shotgun", also known as the "Farmer's Shotgun". The weapon has polymer grips and originally had an inaccurate 12 round magazine, but this has since been changed to the correct 15 round capacity. The weapon is also seen in the hands of Police Officers and Local Forces during missions. A Beretta 92 variant, presumably the 92F, appears as "Ballistic Pistol", and can be equipped by soldiers in between missions.
