Is openapoc basically feature-complete?

[Beelzemutt]

Before I get hours and hours into the game, is there any reason to stick to vanilla xcom apoc? Openapoc seems pretty much complete as far as major features are concerned.

Last I checked (which was admittedly months ago) games using OpenApoc couldnt be finished because there were issues in the alien dimension.

no on their website they admit it's not vanilla feature complete. Afik you can't complete the game.

You can complete the game, but it is not feature complete by a long way

That said, it has extensive modding tools, and the flagship Extended Weapons Mod (EWM) I work on is the test-mod for most new features

The streamer, Quickmind, completed it from start to end first in 2019 and second in 2021 for us.

The OpenApoc Github has three roadmaps pinned to it's issue tracker

Overall, I recommend experience with the original game and alpha state software before you try OpenApoc - It's completable, but buggy. Check out the aforementioned quickmind on youtube for his LPs as I sat in and helped him throughout

Sorry for the slight necro, but I had a question regarding the mods for it. I'm wanting to try out the Extended Weapons Mod, and the only place to download it seems to be through the forums at OpenApoc.org, but it's restricted behind a mandatory and approved registration. Are there any other locations where one might download this mod, or any other methods?
