Xenocider

About

Xenocider puts you in control of Xara as she rockets through corrupted worlds. This third-person rail shooter follows a set path while you dodge enemy fire and aim your weapons at swarms of creatures. You can hover, jump, and fire with ease since the game handles your movement along the track. Between stages, you equip different Xenopods that float beside Xara to boost her firepower or unlock new abilities. The low-poly graphics keep things looking like a nostalgic 32-bit arcade hit while adding modern lighting effects for better visibility. The game stands out because it nails that specific retro shooter feel without feeling clunky. Players on PlayPile have rated it highly for its tight controls and fast pacing. It runs smooth on all major platforms including Switch and PS5, so you get the same performance regardless of where you play. The boss fights require quick reflexes since the enemies move fast and fill the screen with projectiles. This remaster makes the original cult classic accessible to new players while keeping the intensity that longtime fans love.
