Xera: Survival

About

You’re scavenging a broken world where machines hunt you and other humans want your loot. Xera: Survival throws you into a large forest torn between two player-run strongholds. Scavenge for parts, fight AI enemies called Xoids, and fortify bases to survive waves of threats. Play solo or team up to raid enemy outposts, trade resources, or ambush rivals. Every match blends gunplay, base building, and tactical planning as you navigate a lawless zone where alliances shift and the robot horde never stops coming. Set in 2022 after a rogue AI triggers global collapse, the game leans into chaotic co-op and unpredictable PvPvE encounters. With a 78 on Metacritic and 85% positive user reviews, players praise its fast-paced combat and dynamic world. The lack of set rules between factions creates a wild frontier feel, though newcomers may struggle with the steep learning curve. Expect to lose gear, get betrayed, and rebuild constantly, survival here depends on adapting to both human greed and relentless robot attacks.

Storyline

2022: The Dawn The era of AI has arrived. The world is in chaos after a prototype combat robot - banned by law and awaiting secure destruction by Xera Corporation - became self-aware, escaped and began replication. Failed attempts to remotely shut down the AI simply triggered a war that humanity could not afford to lose. Nation turned on nation in a fight for control over resources to defend against the robots. With the attention of the world’s military elsewhere, disenfranchised operatives have gathered to ransack what was left of the Xera Corporation’s facilities, setting up two forward operating bases, safe zones on each side of the forest that was the hiding place for mankind’s greatest failure of leadership. Between these bases there are no rules of engagement, as for some, nothing less than the future of the human race is at stake; for some there is a potentially boundless pay check; and for others perhaps, political leverage. For all, the sole imperative is survival. But then again, no one expected the robots to be waiting.
