UFO: Extraterrestrials vs Xenonauts

Set on the colonized planet Esperanza, humanity discovers a wormhole that brings an alien threat, echoing the fall of Earth. As part of the Counter Alien Force, you must rebuild, research, and fight back against the invading hordes. The game blends classic turn‑based tactical battles with base‑building and a deep research tree, delivering a spiritual sequel to the original UFO series while offering a fresh narrative where aliens have already conquered Earth.

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.
