Overview
Description

Take command of the Free Nations Union forces and battle the Phantom League on six distant, resource‑rich planets. The conflict spreads across continents, seas, and skies, letting you deploy divisions, fleets, and air squadrons in a turn‑based strategy experience. Secret allies can be called in at any moment, shifting the balance of power in critical regions. Lead your troops to protect freedom and democracy in a deep sci‑fi warfare setting.

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.
