In Xenonauts you need to sit on manuals/wiki a bit. ĮDIT in response to edit: XCOM EU+EW is more newbie friendly - it even has in-game tutorial. But if you dont like - you can still give XCOM EU+EW a shot (it was in similar price month ago). So summary - its good game if you are looking for more simulation expierience. Soldiers have classes (only sniper can have sniper or heavy - a rocket) and skills like in simple RPG + levelsĪmmunition is abstracted (usually 3 shots before reload) - you only decide on main weapon+armor + 2/3 extra slotsĪir fight is pure RNG (you can get better fighters later - but its still RNG based)īetter graphics + cutscenes and voice over (Bradford / Vahlen / Shen) Smaller squads - you have 4 (up to 6 (or 8 in last mission)) POD mechanic -enemies are grouped in POD from 3 to 8 - if you reveal one from POD - everyone start attacking you (which means its good to NOT make extra move with last soldiers) No action points - each soldier can either do 2 moves or 1move+1shooting, battlefield is build up on tiles and you can use environment as cover (actually you must do this - because leaving your guy in open will give enemy extra crit chance) You can build multiple bases and research many technologies at the same time (with dimnishing effect) / bases have radar coverage to detect UFOīetter air-fight simulation - its like action game - better watch video
More soldiers on mission(I think you start with 8 and go up to 16?)
#Age of wonders iii newbie friendly class series#
No cover system, but you can crouch and lie down.Įnemies are roaming in pairs or single through map (+ sometimes guarding UFO if you downed one) Age of Wonders 3, the long-awaited continuation of the hit strategy series will be available DRM-free on 's the gameplay video of the current alp. Delivering a unique mix of Empire Building, Role Playing and Warfare, Age of Wonders III offers the ultimate in turn-based fantasy strategy for veterans of the series and new players alike Rule as one of 6 RPG style leader classes: Sorcerer, Theocrat, Rogue, Warlord, Archdruid, or the tech-focused Dreadnought. You need to pack each of your soldier (Diablo style) down to spare rockets/pistols and spare ammunition No classes for soldiers - you give him sniper rifle - he is sniper (although poor aim will make him poor sniper - but your choice) - you can later give him other weapon (or shield) to perform other task - or pick-up wepon on battlefield. That limits tactical play to group people together but not close enough to be hit by grenades. But you are supposed to lose them here and there. Soldiers are weapon and armor platform - they have health/movement/aim - movement acts as action points thats go up as you do more missions. Xenonauts and old XCOM (its more like simulation of invasion): Its like comparing Age of Wonders with Heroes of Might and Magic. While the new one tried new ideas (XCOM EU + EW from 2012).
But Xenonauts are trying to faithfully remake old XCOM.
