No, but it's at least closer to X-com than anything else that has been made 
in years.

Key differences:

a) No random soldeiers, apparently pre-made like JA2
b) No random mission generation, apparently pre-made (apparently there's 
something like 250 missions made for the game, and it selects an appropriate 
one from that bunch)
c) Done by Czechs, so very east european
