OpenXcom VS openjazz

OpenXCOM - XCOM clone. C++, SDL2

Love(ed) that game.

Always wonder where they get their "recruits", who seem to have trouble with aiming their weapons towards the enemy.

There's an open-source & cross platform remake of the engine. You still need the original game assets.

Easy to mod - he config files are YAML.

(Before I say anything I just want to say that I've only played TFTD on beginner. I don't know if this works on the harder difficulties, but I feel like the strategy is relatively sound. Please don't take my word as gospel lol. Also, PLEASE USE OPENXCOM! It's a lifesaver.)

If you want to go for that ride I highly recommend to buy the game and install OpenXCom which comes with full compability on modern systems and QoL improvements and a ton of mods and bugfixes (note you need a copy of the original to play openxcom as it uses the sprites, music etc.): https://openxcom.org/

X-Com was just so hard, and I kept naming all my soldiers various family and friend names ... and boy did they die a lot. I still go back and play it randomly to this day, thanks to the https://openxcom.org project 🤘🤘🤘

Are you talking about this? That's a homage to the original X-COM games, not the two revived XCOM games (Enemy Unknown and 2).

With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.

Til dem der ikke er færdig med at spille UFO: Enemy Unknown, så er der ret meget at hente i OpenXcom. Spil var bare bedre dengang.

Good old one :) https://openxcom.org/

For proof you can read this github issue where one of the top contributors mentions that OpenJazz has no saving, since they want saves to be compatible with the original game, but the save format is encoded and needs to be reverse engineered first (means that they don't have the source of the original)

OpenJazz - Open source reimplementation project for Jazz Jackrabbit 1.

There's openjazz at least, if not an official port.
