Xenonauts 2 is a strategy game that hands you command of a multinational military organisation charged with wiping out an extraterrestrial threat. Operating from the shadows, you seek out and confront a growing alien presence wherever it surfaces, expanding and managing a covert network of bases spread across the globe. Progress depends on driving research and development to close the technological gap with the invaders, while training, arming and directing ground troops to meet the danger head-on.
The setting reframes history: it is 2009, the Cold War endures and the Berlin Wall still stands, while a secret organisation works beyond national borders to gather intelligence on a larger menace to humanity. Reports of unidentified craft and unknown beings grow more frequent amid rising international tension, and those who speak of such sightings often vanish, a sign the aliens are growing bolder by the day. Knowledge is scarce when you take charge, so you must fight tactical battles around the world to learn what you face, eliminating enemy forces to recover research samples that let your scientists steadily improve your equipment. Blending base management, global strategy and turn-based tactical combat, Xenonauts 2 offers a demanding simulation and strategy experience on PC.
