It really is a niche entry. It's a weird gameplay mix of real time stealth and then turn-based combat. It's also a weird setting mix of fantasy and noir.

And the turn based gameplay just isn't as fun or deep as XCOM or even gears tactics.

Kudos to paradox for trying something, but I'd rather to they released CS:2 earlier instead

Especially since those wanting a new game to scratch the Xcom itch are probably going to play Xenonauts 2.
