Liiw (01/08/2016) [-] I just finished this game. I liked it. Was a big fan of the original as well.
I used the same tactics as with the original- I kept all of my soldiers alive. Sure it takes a lot of saving and loading (and I was on normal difficulty), but this made the game easier when the soldiers started leveling up (it also made the original game actually possible to complete).
I missed some of the micro-management though. Like in the original, you had to plan for living space and had to allocate scientists to projects, which was a bit tedious, but more challenging. On the other hand, you could sell surplus weaponry when low on funds etc.
There was also only one base in the remake. In the original, you could build additional bases to other continents and you had to, if you wanted to widen your interception range of UFO's.
In general I liked the remake, but I had hoped it would be similar tothe original feature-wise and would essentially be more of a cosmetical upgrade.

I love X-Com, I could gush, but I'll leave it at that. Try this mod called The Long War, It can be a bit...punishing but it adds so much.
