Battle Isle 2200 vs Xenonauts

After a long space flight, you arrive on the planet Chromos where the Titan‑net Empire threatens the Drullian civilization. Using the MilOp (military operations console), you direct turn‑based forces across hex‑grid battlefields to halt the final campaign of the computer overfiend. The game features 3D polygon animation sequences that dramatize each combat outcome, offering a futuristic sci‑fi warfare experience on PC. Players can face off against the AI Titan‑net or challenge friends in multiplayer skirmishes.

Xenonauts is a turn‑based strategy game where you command a multinational military organization defending Earth from a Cold War‑era alien threat. Deploy small squads of persistent soldiers, research captured technology, and coordinate global defenses. The strategic layer lets you intercept UFOs, manage resources, and unlock new equipment, while tactical missions focus on squad‑based combat and mission‑critical objectives.
