#XENONAUTS BASE ASSAULT SECRET DOORS FULL#
On Divine Light, enemies deal full damage to the player, with little other changes. Three of the four difficulty settings come with special doors, that can only be opened while playing on that setting.ĭivine Light is the default difficulty of the game, and the game's second hardest setting. At first, the player has very little input on what difficulty they are playing at, but as you progress through the game, changing between the states becomes easy. There are four main difficulty modes within the game. Weapons are not saved as they need to be brought back to the exit, however you do keep the organs, fish and implants you collected. You always restart at the beginning of the level, there is no quicksaving or checkpoints. Dying will cost you money (Except in Power In Misery difficulty mode) and can also lower the difficulty level itself, This will be indicated by the message appearing on the left on the death screen.

This countdown can occasionally save you when you make your run to the exit, however. When it reaches 0 or less, a 5 seconds countdown will begin before your body presumably self-destructs, however if your health drops below -40 then the countdown will be skipped and you will immediately die.

Your health is indicated by the top left HUD indicator. Levels are large, encourage exploration and provides multiple paths to the targets and to a variety of secrets, some of which will require specific equipment, weapons or even difficulty modes to be accessed. These enemies are passive at first and an eye indicator will appear on the left of your screen when you are being detected, enabling some form of stealth approaches. Your targets are always indicated by a crosshair overlaid on your HUD and will be guarded by hostile creatures that will attack you on sight. I need skulls for my throne and bodies for my dropships.As a corporate liquidator, your objective is to find and kill your designated targets then leave the level by walking to an EXIT area. All missions will get at least a few screenshots. I'll be throwing up a glossary for the initial equipment as well as showing you what I research. Ironman, obviously Veteran difficulty with the XNT mod, so quite a bit of stuff will be new to me. There are plenty of differences, but anyone familiar with the former knows how a mission can suddenly go to shit in a amazingly bloody way. Xenonauts is a spiritual sequel to UFO: Enemy Unknown. What the fuck is this and why should I care?.Shrewd political maneuvering ensured they retained access to the most advanced technology developed by both the West and the Soviets, but only in limited amounts. By 1979, the Xenonauts were reduced to only a single installation, a dozen trained soldiers and a handful of loyal researchers and technicians. Geopolitical considerations clouded the judgement of the major alliances, each coming to distrust the organisation formed to unite them because of its close ties with the other. Powerful backers retired or lost their positions, replaced by people unaware of the events in Iceland. A network of underground installations was secretly established to provide coverage across the globe.īut without a looming threat against which to defend humanity, the organisation fell into decline.

Aircraft were refitted to use materials known to be resistant to alien weaponry, soldiers were drilled in combat doctrine, and radar data analysed to find a plausible way to track extraterrestrial craft. Special forces soldiers were requisitioned and formed into strike teams, and brilliant minds from both sides of the Iron Curtain brought on board. Though no technology was recovered from the site and there were few survivors of the battle, some useful data was gained. Initially well funded and with powerful backers, the Xenonauts set about meticulously studying the events of the alien contact. Their purpose: a global fighting force to protect the world from extraterrestrial invasion. The Xenonauts are a clandestine organisation founded jointly by NATO and the USSR in 1958 following the Iceland Incident, humanities first contact with extraterrestrial life that left Iceland a radioactive wasteland and both superpowers with staggering loses.
