"Xenonauts is the latest major release of an XCOM clone, notable for being much more 'fan created' than Firaxis' XCOM Enemy Unknown, which was launched to much greater fanfare. Having nearly every major aspect copied directly from the old XCOM games, Xenonauts looks to be a solid offering in strategy and tactical alien hunting. However, though it contains the recipe of a great game, misses or changes in a few aspects, mostly for the negative, makes this hard to recommend to fans of the genre."
XCOM like games have become very popular in recent years but some of them definitely stick to the original formula closer than others.

Humble Bundle's latest bundle features spiritual and actual sequels to beloved classic games, including Shadowrun, Broken Sword, and Tex Murphy.
