Bringing back the best traditions of eXtraterrestrial COMbat!

Xenonauts, the spiritual successor to the classic 1990s X-Com games bringing back and expanding all of their strategic depth and tactical greatness, is available on 20% off on GOG.com. That's $19.99 for the first week!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/xenonauts][/url]Xenonauts is a spiritual successor to the classic X-Com strategy games from the 1990s. We aim to improve the graphics, add new content and streamline the interface whilst still retaining all of the key mechanics of the original games. Devoted fans should love this game, but we're also keen to introduce the joys of old-school grand strategy to a whole new generation of players who might not otherwise experience it! In this robust strategy game you control a multi-national military organisation defending a Cold War-era Earth from an alien invasion, using small squads of persistent soldiers to eliminate the extraterrestrials and recover their technology in turn-based ground combat. A detailed strategic layer allows you to co-ordinate the defence of the planet, using your interceptors to shoot down UFOs and researching captured artefacts to learn about your foes and unlock new combat equipment to use on your missions. The game comes with a full MP3 sountrack!

The alien overlords' plan was as simple, as it was brilliant: "wait for the 2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale to start on GOG.com, and conquer the Earth with minimum resistance while everyone is busy tracking the Flash Deals". Stay vigilant, defender of our home planet! Only you can foil the extraterrestrials' scheme and show them that the human race is not to be messed with, in Xenonauts, for $19.99 on GOG.com. The 20% off special release discount will last until Monday, June 23, at 1:00PM GMT.
Very happy to see Xenonauts here. I'm glad GOG changed their minds.
Does anyone know if there is a public demo of the game? I know that demo for alfa version was released some 2 years ago but I would rather check the final version.

Hi,

What do you mean by "GOG changed their minds"?

Cheers!

GOG thought that the $25 Xenonauts is asking was too much, so they initially rejected the game. That was back in 2012 or so, but it seems in the meantime they did change their minds, so the game is released here.

Did they reject it before or after they backpedaled from their stance on price points?

Can't recall, but I'm sure someone else will.
Instabuy once payday comes around
Fantastic game. True successor to the old XCOM/UFO games.
The Firaxis one is all pretty and shiny, but it was in a way the definition of dumbd down for console - fun for what it is, but what it is is not XCOM. Xenonauts on the other hand may lack a lot of that shiny, but it is what fans of the old game were waiting for.

Did you pre-order before the game got released?

Wow! Thanks a lot! Looks like I'm always faster with purchasing than I should, nevermind :D
City screenshots reminding me to Jagged Alliance 2. This Xeno-thing seems to be a very good one...
Aw. I regret getting this on Steam now.

If the Steam version doesn't come with the soundtrack, them I'm regretting my decision on getting Xenonauts on Steam.
