Xenonauts is a PC strategy game due for release in 2013. It is a spiritual successor to the classic X-Com strategy games, putting the player in control of an organisation defending the world from an alien invasion. It is a grand strategy game that involves building and managing bases across the entire planet, controlling jet fighters and ground troops in battle against the alien forces, then researching captured extraterrestrial technology to unlock their secrets! Linux version uses WINE.
This is a screen of the player equipping one of his MiG-31 interceptors. It is carrying 2 anti-fighter missiles, and two heavy anti-capital ship missiles. The MiG is faster than the F-17 aircraft and can carry heavy missiles, but is less agile and turns less quickly, making it a poor dogfighter. It is ideal for shooting down enemy capital ships, but has to be protected in this role.
Haha, this reminds me of Ace Combat 2. Good times.
