Our take on Xeno Runners
The game moves racing into alien skies, using energy rings, overheating management, and steep aerial routes instead of a conventional ground-level course structure. It also places free-flight exploration alongside timed competition, allowing the clock to be left behind.
What is Xeno Runners?
Xeno Runners is an aerial racing game set on an alien planet.
Timed events cover more than 20 circuits with energy rings, narrow corridors, hairpin turns, and steep drops. Collecting rings in sequence increases speed and prevents the flying unit from overheating. Changing weather and lighting add varying conditions during races. Players can pursue faster times and leaderboard positions, with results rated from one to three stars. Completing races and achievements unlocks additional circuits and aircraft skin colors. Outside timed challenges, the planet can be explored at leisure, including its landscapes, landmarks, and secrets. The game also includes more than 60 Steam achievements.
