Our take on Xenogunner
Rather than building its structure around long stages, Xenogunner keeps stages short and puts boss encounters at the center. Its run-and-gun platforming also includes mouse aiming and customizable difficulty settings, shifting some familiar genre conventions without leaving the platforming-and-shooting format.
What is Xenogunner?
Xenogunner is a boss-focused run-and-gun platformer with a 16-bit-era style.
Players guide Zeta Reak, a displaced king, as he confronts the Xenogunner and tries to take back his throne. The story introduces Xenonature, an energy that grants trained users elemental and other powers, and raises the question of whether the Xenogunner is acting alone. Stages are short, leading into challenging encounters with varied opponents, including a robot dragon and a mercenary in a flying car. Mouse aiming and adjustable difficulty settings are included. The game provides many lives as players work through its boss battles and platforming sections.
