Halcyon 6 is a passion project who’s design is inspired by our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and new classics like FTL. > Base Building: spend resources to build station facilities (rooms) to enhance your production and technological capabilities, or build ships to help you control more territory Exploration: assign your fleets to nearby star clusters, where they can handle emerging enemy threats, do missions for alien factions or secure bonus resources Crew Management: assign crew to station facilities to greatly improve their output efficiency, or to ships where they can contribute in unique ways to combat, missions and events Deep Tactical Combat: fight tactical ship or ground battles to resolve hostile events, create a foothold in the sector and ultimately defeat the enemy mothership! Story Events: based on game criteria like rooms-built, alien diplomacy scores or officer traits/skills, the game will produce story events (often with multiple choice outcomes) that can lead to combat, time-related applied bonuses/negatives, officer attribute changes or any number of crazy in-game stories.Įdit 2: Just noticed this is also on the Halcyon 6 Steam page, so.: At strategic scale, the player directs the research and development of new technologies, builds and expands X-COM's bases, manages the organization's finances and personnel, and monitors and responds to UFO activity.įrom the Halcyon 6 Steam page, Features section:
XENONAUTS BASE BUILDING SERIES
>Through the game, the player is tasked with issuing orders to individual X-COM troops in a series of turn-based tactical missions. I was hoping someone could explain what makes Halcyon 6 different, since I don't want to buy an X-Com clone if it's not doing anything new except for a reskin.įrom the X-Com (UFO: Enemy Unknown) Wikipedia page (emphasis mine): I would not have made this post if that were the case.
How similar is this to those? I just don't want to have games that are too similar in my library unless they bring something new to the table.Įdit: A few commenters have said that these games are "nothing" alike (except for the one guy who commented to say they hadn't played the game lol). I've played some of the original X-COM games and Xenonauts.
