IN Xenonauts 2 under the control of the user will be a multinational army of the best soldiers who will defend the Earth from alien invaders. During the gameplay, gamers will encounter many situations involving military clashes in various locations that differ in scale, setting, design and conditions for battles. As you progress, the key tasks will be not only the destruction of the enemy, but also the arrangement of the headquarters, as well as pumping up soldiers and equipment.

At the very beginning of each mission, a group of fighters in Xenonauts 2 arrives at the landing site by helicopter. Already at this stage, you can call each of the squad members, familiarizing yourself with the weapons and auxiliary items (first aid kits, grenades, etc.). Near the icon of each unit, the name, nationality flag, as well as the amount of health and armor are displayed. The battles themselves take place in a step-by-step mode, where you need to give orders to each member of the group and coordinate actions. This is important, since on missions you will have to storm buildings, conduct firefights in open areas or inside cramped spaces. If the enemy is not hiding behind cover, he can be identified as soon as he appears in the frame. For ease of attack, there is an option to rotate the camera, which allows you to get a more advantageous view. The result of each battle is important, because the level of panic of the population in a particular region depends on it. In addition, by taking control of new territories, especially UFO crash sites, you can acquire new technologies that will help you achieve better results in battle.
