Regardless, openapoc has their work cut out for them. XCOM had "reaction fire" where your units can use reserved actions from your turn on the enemy turn, firing at enemies who cross their line of fire. But in Apoc, they can also reaction-move, dodging or getting prone. As do the enemies.

Getting it to run properly on $platform has been difficult in the past, but I believe this has improved. There has been an ongoing project, openapoc, intended to be equivalent to the excellent open-source openxcom, that has been going on since at least 2017 and now has about 80% of a playable alpha.

I’m looking forward to when the OpenApoc stuff gets far enough along to be properly workable and moddable; there’s so much cool stuff there that’s so close to working!

There's always... Xenocide? What was the one that was set in the Cold War?

I dunno. I loved the hell out of nu-XCOM; I want Firaxis to do to TFTD and Apocalypse what they did to X-COM. As you say there's OpenApoc and OpenXcom! (I actually started writing a web serial LP of OpenXC as an exercise.)

There's an OpenApoc out there, and if I didn't have a billion other ideas I would be *incredibly* tempted to try my hand at building upon it.
One of those 'If I won the lottery and had nothing but time' projects, I thin - I'd design and code my own version with a purer cyberpunk aesthetic.

And in real-time mode (which is pauseable) this means your units and the enemy units are Always taking reactions whenever you haven't explicitly commanded a move etc. Whether this makes the game "good" or "a mess" is debatable but it's too complicated for openapoc to get right anytime soon.

Anyway, ideally I'll be able to play openapoc with several quality-of-life mods coming from a thriving mod community one day, but for now I just need to make sure regular Apoc works on my computer nowadays.
