XenoRaptor

FAST, CHALLENGING ONLINE CO-OP

Take control of a cyberdragon and annihilate swarms of rocket propelled chainsaws either online or via LAN in this high speed, high skill 8 player co-op twinstick shooter.

DESIGN YOUR OWN WEAPONS

Harvest components from the smoking wreckage of your enemies and construct a vast arsenal of crazy weaponry. Gatling laser guided rocket launchers, bear teleporters and singularity cannons are just the beginning. All this customization isn’t just for show, either. Different weapon and character builds allow for a huge range of effective playstyles.

TACTICAL DEPTH

The space skeleton armada is cunning and merciless – flanking, sniping, cloaking and teleporting are just a few of the tricks the AI is capable of. However, if you learn their tactics you can use your enemies weapons against them. All attacks have full friendly fire, and exceptional players can annihilate entire fleets by tricking them into shooting each other.

MASSIVE BOSSES

After obliterating enough regular enemies, you’ll have to face down screen filling deathmachines like the Killdozer, Bullet Devil and Terror Fortress Omega.

PRESS QUOTES

“what’s interesting about the game: the variety of its enemies, the manner in which you can manipulate its AI, and that it has singleplayer as well as 8-player coop.”- Graham Smith, Rock Paper Shotgun

“A beautiful shoot em up with super fast paced and challenging combat.”
– Nick Puleo, Co-Optimus

“Want to be a teleporting, mine dropping, laser blade wielding cyberdragon? Or evasive and armed with railgun and chaingun? Or do you want to mind control enemy ships and use your laser like a tractor beam? All those playstyles are equally viable.”
– Christian Valentin, Indie Game Enthusiast

“XenoRaptor is fantastic fun, it’s a well crafted top down space shooter, with an infusion of Dead Rising style, crazy weapon building. Highly Recommended.”
– Alpha-Beta-Gamer

XenoRaptor Review

Gameplay is straight forward. You play as a powerful, weaponized dragon flying across the galaxy to defeat a mysterious army of chainsaw drones. Control is responsive, and in a basic format. Combat feels rewarding, and even getting hit gives you that bittersweet sound of a chainsaw screeching into your thick scales. Weapon customization is ridiculous, giving you a variety of weapon bases, ammunition, and convections to choose from. Addicting and simple, but positively eye-widening with the combos you can get.

Probably the only particularly lackluster part of the game. Graphics don’t matter too much, and the game looks alright, but I can’t lie when I say it looks like a game from 2010 or something. This won’t affect your gameplay too much though, and you can certainly enjoy it on any of the graphics settings.

Performance seemed fairly average on a toaster of a computer that I have. No major lag spikes, and the game ran at a steady 60 FPS, even at times of high chaos and special effects. Rock and roll on your awful Alienware laptop if you want, I’m sure it’ll do fine. Weirdo.

Literally emptier than that barn from Charlotte’s Web. At least that place had living beings in it. XenoRaptor doesn’t have a very active community, though this is subject to change. I’ll be happy to report that multiplayer works, at least. As in, I tried with friends because no stranger wanted to play at all. Thankfully there’s a four pack. Go nuts.

I’ll be playing this a lot in the future, I feel it. It’s a great game with good heart that doesn’t worry about a deep story, or beautiful, breath taking graphics. It’s about shooting things really good and dodging the bad guys. Decimate whole fleets of misunderstood tree-cutting tools with XenoRaptor.
