I've also preordered this on Desura Certainly a worthy project. They definitely have the feel of the first X-com down pat. Give it a try. It's already fun to play, and I haven't even played it in three or more patches. They've been updating regularly. It is my understanding they intend to launch around the same time as the Firaxis X-com remake, choosing to look on the competition as an opportunity for extra.pubpicity for themselves. They believe, and i am sure they are right, their game will be truer to the spirit and gameplay of the original.
