Xenonauts Giveaway Contest – 5 Keys! [CLOSED]

By on June 26th, 2014 10:20 am

Xenonauts | Sci-fi strategy game by Goldhawk Interactive - Spiritual successor of the X-COM series

Goldhawk Interactive, an indie studio founded by Chris England in 2009, recently released their first game, Xenonauts. Xenonauts is a single player sci-fi strategy game for the PC, where, like in previous X-COM games, your task is to defend the world against an alien invasion. You engage UFOs and deploy a special division of soldiers to deal with the alien threat. If you played X-COM: UFO Defense (aka UFO: Enemy Unknown) back in the 90’s you should feel right at home.

So, I got in touch with Chris for the possibility of hosting a giveaway contest for Xenonauts. He complied and supplied us with 5 game codes!

So, what do you need to do to win a game?

How to enter the contest

It’s very simple to participate and have a chance to win one of the 5 copies of Xenonauts. All you have to do is the following two steps:

  1. Follow SpaceSector.com on twitter OR follow SpaceSector.com on facebook OR follow us on Google+ OR register the SpaceSector.com newsletter (you are only required to do one of these actions)
  2. Leave a comment in this blog post (below) stating which of the actions above have you done.

Note: If you already follow us in some way just say which in your entry comment.

Examples of how you should post your comment to become eligible for the contest:

[your twitter id] follows SpaceSector on twitter

OR

[your facebook name] follows SpaceSector on facebook

OR

[your google+ id] follows SpaceSector on google+

OR

Registered the Space Sector newsletter with [your email here]

etc …

If you don’t want to specify all that information in the comment (like your social media ID or email), send me an email with the username you used in the comment and the rest of the information, so that I can track you and get you in the contest.

And, that’s it, you’re in! :)

How and when will the winners be picked

The 5 winners will be picked randomly with the help of random.org on July 3rd, 2014 around noon EST. I’ll check those to see if they fulfilled the entry steps.

The contest closes on July 2nd, 2014 around noon EST. After that point you can no longer enter the contest. I’ll signal that by changing the contest status to [CLOSED] in the post’s title.

Game prizes will be provided as Steam codes.

Here’s our beta preview article (one year old) with some impressions on Xenonauts. The review should be up in the following weeks.

Good luck everyone!

Many thanks to Goldhawk Interactive for sponsoring this contest. If you wish to support or follow the developers’ work more closely you can follow their facebook or twitter feeds. Or, you can buy Xenonauts on their website.
