Xenoraid is an exciting vertically scrolling shoot'em up rooted in the classic action gameplay of the genre with added modern features. Xenoraid upgrades the basic shmup gameplay with advanced shooting mechanics. Fighters tilt left and right when moving horizontally and weapons heat up when firing. Master the mechanics and line up devastating bursts of fire! Missions in Xenoraid a procedurally driven, so nothing needs to be memorized. The enemies act on AI, making the combat fully dynamic. Intercept the alien threat in missions that play out differently every time! The four fighter squadron represents your lives and your weapon arsenal. Switch between the fighters in the heat of combat to bring in the best weapons for each situation, and to dodge incoming fire! Xenoraid campaign mode features more than 40 missions with four alien capital vessels in hectic bossfights. The events take place in a near future setting, where mankind is fighting the first space war against alien raiders. Starfighters have been improvised by adding machine guns, auto cannons, missiles, and more to existing spacecrafts. Put your skills to the ultimate test in three endless Survival missions with online leaderboards. The Survival mode is a quick burst gameplay mode with runs lasting rarely more than 10-15 minutes. All game modes can be played in 2-4 player local co-op (Xinput gamepads recommended, max 1 player with keyboard/mouse).

Press reviews: “From the second I started playing this game it had my full attention, it was an incredible experience and I got lost in hours of gameplay.” 10 – Brash Games “Overall, I think this is a solid game. For the price of ten dollars, I would definitely recommend trying it out.” 8.5 – Gaming Cypher “[...]features several welcome departures from the current state of the genre that have been implemented to a high level of technical excellence and design.” Cubed3
