  • Brand Consistency: 7/10

Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Add bright rim or accent lighting to soldier silhouettes to increase value separation and clarity at TINY size
  2. [uniqueness_polish] Incorporate a distinctive visual element—such as a unique armor design, tech emblem, or color accent—that signals the Xenonauts franchise identity
  3. [genre_clarity] Consider subtle visual indication of alien threat (e.g., energy signature, alien tech detail, or warning UI elements) to communicate the invasion context without relying on title text

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness] Add a brief statement in the short description or opening of detailed copy (e.g., 'asymmetric warfare where the aliens outnumber and outtech you') that explicitly frames the design philosophy against X-COM's more balanced squad focus.
  2. [feature_communication] Expand the Cleaners paragraph from one sentence of gameplay impact to two: explain how infiltrating their bases differs from alien missions and why the conspiracy angle affects strategic decisions.
  3. [hook_strength] Consider moving or trimming the Cold War lore paragraph (second paragraph) to later in the copy so the first read stays focused on gameplay loops rather than narrative context—hold lore until after mechanical hooks are set.
