Xenonauts: Alpha Demo - Part 3 - Pseudo Retro
19This is an alpha demo of Xenonauts, a very promising spiritual successor to the great X-Com. The atmosphere is perfect and I think it really succeeds at recapturing the essence of the original, while updating it visually and with some improvements to the interface and additions that only add to it without taking anything away.
Even in this early stage, it was very cool. At the time of this video it's in the last couple of days of it's kickstarter campaign. So it's not too late to support them and pre-order the game. If you liked X-com, you should play this if you can. The demo is available at the kickstarter page:

They have already exceeded their funding goal, but the more they get, the better the game will be and the sooner it will come out. I've pre-ordered mine of course and I can't wait to see the full version.
Pseudo Retro is a series of let's play videos about modern games that have a retro feel about them, whether graphically or in their playing style.
Intro music is from the classic cracktro by Nemesis (and also apparently the game Heimdall):
