구 엑스컴 1과 비교해도 턱도 없이 부족한 컨텐츠를 가지고 있습니다. 그래픽 빼곤 사실상 겨우 몇십메가도 안되던 구 엑스컴 1 보다 나은 점이 거의 없습니다. 30년 전 게임보다 그래픽 빼곤 전혀 좋은게 사실상 없다는 얘기입니다.
1. 조금만 하면 죄다 대령 되는 대원들. 정예병으로 키워내는 재미가 약함.
2. 엔드 컨텐츠도 아직 없음. 심지어 어느 정도 시간이 지나면 더 이상 적이 나오지 않음.
3. 결국엔 적이 없기 때문에 자금이 어떻게 해도 매말라 감.
4. 연구 단계가 얕음. 생산 가능한 종류가 적음.
5. 적을게 너무 많아서 마지막으로 한마디만 적음.
- 구 엑스컴의 정신적 계승자라는데... 택도 없음 -

이 정도로 만들어 놓고 얼액이라니... 유저에게 돈 받고 베타 테스트 하는 수준. 한가지 칭찬하자면 얼액치곤 잘 튕기지는 않았음.
나중에 제대로 만들면 그때 평가 다시 하겠음.

사지 마세요. 차라리 제노너츠 1을 구매하세요.

단순히 엑스컴 시리즈나 다른 엑스컴라이크와 비교하였을 때 퀄리티 문제가 아닙니다.

제노너츠 2는 제노너츠 1과 차이점을 찾을 수가 없으며, 얼리엑세스 23년 7월에 출시되었는데, 25년 2월이 되었음에도 공중전은 아직도 미완이고, 외계인 종류도, 미션도 거의 동일, 새로운 시스템이나 콘텐츠는 없으며, 가장 큰 문제는 앞으로도 없을 거라는 점입니다. 제노너츠 특유의 전투 시스템을 즐기고 싶으시면 차라리 제노너츠 1을 하세요.

엑스컴 1과 엑스컴 2를 비교하면, 후속작이 비주얼, 시스템, 스토리 등 전작에 비해 얼마나 진보되었는지 알 수 있을 겁니다. 그런대 제노너츠는 진보는 커녕, 전편과 다를 것이 없습니다. 공중전? 무기 및 방어구 등 아이템? 외계인 종류? 전투/전략 시스템? 다 똑같아요. 심지어 전편의 단점도 똑같이 가져왔어요. 얼리 엑세스인 것을 감안해도 이 정도면 퇴화 수준입니다.

몇 안되는 차이점은 비주얼과 스토리가 약간 바뀐 정도입니다. 그나마 스토리는 뻔하고 진부하며, 게임 진행에는 아무런 영향도 없습니다. 도저히 남들에게 권할 이유를 못찾겠습니다.

I was really excited for this one, but it's just disappointing. There's a few major issues:

1) Not much new, it's just prettier with a few new mechanics but at this point it is still very underdeveloped, making it feel shallower than X1.

2) A bunch of things were added which I don't personally enjoy, for example, one mission has you grab/kill a HVT before a timer expires which spawns 2-4 very tough enemies per turn, even when I savescummed and ran everyone directly at the HVT after discovering where he was I BARELY got out without being swarmed, this mission would be almost entirely impossible to do blind/without metagaming.

3) There are new enemies which honestly just aren't fun. An enemy that completely drains your TU when you fire at it, an enemy that can't move so everytime you fire at it, it reaction fires twice (and cant be suppressed), and an enemy with 50 armour 150 hp that cant be flashbanged, and if it reaction fires your soldier is 10000% dead.

Honestly I was having enough fun with it, saying "at least its X1 again, and I liked X1", but so many frustrating, unfair mechanics with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemies bored me. And no, I'm not saying difficult, I'm saying unfair.

Also the Start tiles in bases should be player decided, not placed poorly like they are. The initial base layout is so bad it destroys any enjoyment.

The massive AOE of alien suppression breaks the game. Lots of bugs, Obviously this is pre-release, but the alien AI is broken. It always knows you are flanking even when they cannot see you. No battlefield strategies work because the Alien AI always knows exactly what you are doing. I've run through same map with different strats and it moves the aliens to counter you long before they should have any where you are going. Yes they know where you land, but they always set an ambush no matter which direction you go on multiple settings, including the lowest. I LOVE a challenging XCOM style game, but this one seems horrifically broken. Even with 80% accuracy setting the aliens almost never miss even when you are in cover and crouched. Additionally the aliens will always target your highest ranking soldier, even if they are the furthest away and most in cover, and they will hit and kill them a good 70% of the time. Basically FIRE your LT or higher and continuously by new soldiers, leveling them up is absolutely pointless. *Also I have NEVER had a soldier survive being reduced to -0- health, even with Med Bay. Never, not a single time. I have lost over a hundred soldiers, so 25% means at least 10-20 should have gone unconscious, but it has literally NEVER happened.

I really loved Xenonauts 1 and so I got this as soon as it released. Overall it was a bit disappointing.

The story is a redux of the original, not a continuation which is a real shame. It's basically the same game in terms of mechanics too. No notable increase in graphics or real changes in functionality.

That said, I still had fun. At first.

I ran a standard Ironman on Normal difficulty. It was tough, but enjoyably so. I made progress, and things got interesting with me taking out an alien base and having them attack mine (devastating!) in retaliation. Things were a little repetitive - same as the old version, but still cool.

Then two of my funding nations were displeased and left after a bad month, so I auto-lost. Game Over.

What? I figured I'd be able to continue with reduced funding, and things would get even tougher. I was looking forward to that! Perhaps even having a noble last stand! I don't mind losing like that.

But no. Instead it's an arbitrary loss with a stupid text screen. Apparently two nations leaving the project means the whole thing closes and the aliens win. Just made me feel like I wasted my time - I put 14 hours into that game. Had a good set up with multiple bases and some awesome soldiers. At least let me play with that until the bitter end!

In summary, it seems like a remake, but without any new content. If anything there's less - You can also no longer customise individual soldier portraits which is a shame. No mod support either.

In its current state I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe give it a whirl once it's had some polish. If you never played the original, and if they drop the price! (They're currently asking 40 USD for it which is definitely not worth it).

UPDATE:
It's been nearly a year since my last review and given I'm stuck inside atm I figured I'd give it another whirl.

Despite a year's worth of work going into this there aren't any huge changes, and my commentary remains similar. No notable new features and you still cannot customize your soldiers. On top of that, I encountered another big issue: The story isn't finished. Still.

There isn't even a placeholder ending, just another text screen informing you there is no more content.

Definitely swerve this until its finished.

고전 XCOM의 좀 기괴한 느낌은 별로 없긴한데 전술 전투가 나름의 손맛이 있음.
버그 조금 있긴한데 그보다도 로딩속도가 엄청나게 느려서 이 부분만 수정하면 괜찮을 듯.
한글을 지원하긴하나 고퀄은 아니고 부분부분 오번역 된 부분이 꽤 있긴하나 게임을 하는데는 큰 문제가 없어보임.
(일부 상세 설명에서는 번역이 안되어 있는 부분들도 있음)

로딩속도 개선이 된다면 그 때 구매해서 하는걸 추천함. 아니면 두시간 해보고 환불할 것.

Xenonauts is a very good game, and a good remake of the classic Xcom game. Xenonauts 2 is a very good game, and a good remake of the classic Xcom game. Unfortunately, Xeononauts 2 is also a carbon copy of Xenonauts and therefore apart from marginally fancier graphics, I am not sure what I am getting for my £35, and why the devs thought to release it at this stage other than to cash in. The Devs say that this is a foundation, a platform, for a much better game; check the road map they say. I have, and apart from a few new missions, maps, and weapons, there isn't much new on the horizon. I cannot see any new game mechanics or concepts which is worrying, and which is why m review is negative.

Some developers use early access the right way. Release an unfinished game early to generate income to be able to finish the game, adding new meaningful content and game mechanics as they go along. However, some use it as an excuse to release a game with little content (or new content in this respect) giving the player false hope that they may add great new meaningful content in the future. The gamer buys into this, expecting great things and a game that doesn’t yet exist, and no-one can question the logic, as the developer will always say "check the roadmap" or "we have great plans but don't want to make them public now".

If you can afford to spend £35 on a remake of the first game then you’ll love this sequel. If, like me, you expect more content / new ideas / new mechanics from a sequel then you’ll more than likely feel frustrated and annoyed and want a refund.

My review is negative and will remain negative. If the devs release a game in early access, there needs to be more information as to what exactly is coming, and what the game will look like in a year, two years.

Xenonauts 2 is in a really difficult place, it fails to stand-apart from it's predecessor in significant enough ways for me to look past the lack of content, including what is available in-game currently as well as the dev's roadmap for their early access period.

That may be severely understating the point. This game does not in any way feel new, and I'm baffled this was in-development for 6-8 years as I'd struggle to assert I wasn't just playing Xenonauts 1 again, but in an upgraded engine with a new UI.
While playing through the campaign I kept waiting to find ANYTHING that I could unequivocally say was new, and that lasted until I completed all content available in the Early Access release (devs estimate EA contains 2/3 of the final game). So I'm back to wondering why this game even exists.

And then we get to the price: $40 USD
I cannot comprehend how they reached that as a valid price for this game or why their publisher didn't push-back more strongly against it. Outside of die-hard fans of the genre like me, who will play these XCOM games regardless, I cannot imagine recommending this game to a generalist strategy/tactics fan, and I'd much sooner tell someone to pick the first game up for $5 on sale than to spend 8x that for an incomplete, glorified patch of the same game.

재미는 별개로 너무 끊김이 심하고, 로딩속도가 깁니다.
이 부분만 고치면 더 재미있게 몰입할 수 있을 것 같아요.

Hate the timed missions. Hate them so much. Hate them with the burning fire of a thousand suns.
Will not play the game again until the time limits can be removed or modded out.
