Xenonauts is a PC strategy game due for release in 2013. It is a spiritual successor to the classic X-Com strategy games, putting the player in control of an organisation defending the world from an alien invasion.
It is a grand strategy game that involves building and managing bases across the entire planet, controlling jet fighters and ground troops in battle against the alien forces, then researching captured extraterrestrial technology to unlock their secrets!
Linux version uses WINE.

When will it finally be out?
When I bought it, the plan was close to XCOM. Or is there another XCOM planned and only then ready? :-/
Based on the current builds progress I would speculate that it will be finished before August. I can't see much more content beyond the new GUI and number of maps being released after June - which means June will be a solid month of balancing and July will be final polishing. (Speculation all of it)
as far as i'm following the official xenonauts forum their actually preparing the v18 build(s) to be viable for steam as an beta build und after that they work on the final version.
Thx Belmakor!
I thought Desura is responsible for updating the game :(. Its bit heavy to download every time 4,6 GB just for an update...
Once you download 18.3.1 don't forget to head over the official forums and check the post in the development forum for Hotfix 1 (which apparently adds new AI behaviour)!
Am i too stupid or how can i download the 18.3 version?
I standard preordered the game on Mac. What is the most recent version available for Mac and where can I download it?
Thanks!
Right bar over there? >>>>>>>
Because during kickstart project time the idea was offered to make unisex sprites for battlescape to cut down develpment cost and was fully welcomed by gamers.
well- not by all the gamers! :P
I love this game but i still loathe the engine and limitations caused by it.
