Excerpt: "In 1979, the world was technologically disadvantaged as it neared the end of the Cold War. That is, when comparing the technology of the time to the aliens now invading Earth in Xenonauts. Being outmatched technologically, sets the tone of the game: you’re always the underdog and feel equally overwhelmed at all times. You’re always on the brink of collapse, and this is what makes Xenonauts a more exhilarating experience over the XCOM games that inspired this."
XCOM like games have become very popular in recent years but some of them definitely stick to the original formula closer than others.
