There will be some new things in the game around how it is going to play.

Any tried it ?

Kind of disappointed by this Galaxy required nonsense. Otherwise, I'm glad to see a demo of anything these days.

I heard he's going to include some new maps, in addition to the 4 created for Xenonauts.

Does it make me an entitled whiner that I don't want to install a GOG client to play this demo? Why not release it as a torrent? It would mean additional exposure and expense-free distribution.

I never managed to play Xenonauts, but looking at a let's play makes it look quite clunky.

I had bought the game a long time ago, but never started it.
The demo for Xenonauts 2 does not make it look amazingly better.

It'll be on my to-try list for some point in the future.

Xenonauts is more for people that enjoy old UFO more than new Xcom.
It has a couple of major drawbacks but it was still fun to play. I hope Xenonauts 2 fixes some of those.

Have played original XCOM, but never played Xenonauts before, I tried the demo. I must confess to being impressed as it really harkened back to the original. I will be keeping an eye out for this title in the future.
