Xenonauts 2 is not connected with the first part. Events take place in an alternative universe. The Cold War was interrupted by an alien invasion. NATO and the USSR are ready to use nuclear weapons. The user heads a secret organization that fights aliens. His task is to save the entire planet.The gameplay of the planetary defense simulator is divided into two phases. First, the gamer watches a global map made in the form of a globe. In real time, he can send his fighters on missions, monitor the situation in the region, shoot down UFOs. He will also need to conduct research, manufacture equipment and distribute employees. When the squad arrives for an operation, a turn-based battle begins on a separate screen. Battlefields are randomly generated.Xenonauts 2 is a successor to the ideas of X-COM. And not those reboots of the series that came out relatively recently, but the very first projects from the 1990s. Consequently, there is more micromanagement and control over the equipment of soldiers. In an isometric strategy with role-playing elements, the environment is almost completely destructible. The graphics themselves have become three-dimensional, and the camera is allowed to rotate in different directions.The process of building and upgrading the base has acquired several features. Firstly, the player will initially be given an abandoned missile silo in Iceland. It will need to be converted into a habitable place. And only then create a headquarters there. Secondly, staff can be moved between positions. For example, if a person is placed in the infirmary, he will become a medic, and if in the laboratory, then a scientist. Thirdly, it is important to monitor the uninterrupted supply of electricity and food.
