Play it if you…
Good fit- Survival-horror players who want a sci-fi setting aboard a spaceship

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a calm or low-threat pace may find the hostile creatures and looming asteroid crisis a poor match
- Players looking for a fixed, identical layout across repeat runs may not enjoy randomized levels
- Players seeking a primarily narrative experience may find the listing's emphasis on survival systems a mismatch
Our take on Xenoids
The premise sets up a missing crew and an approaching asteroid, but the feature list emphasizes repeatable survival systems: randomized levels, crafting, infection, and co-op. The story's role in play is less clearly developed than those systems.
What is Xenoids?
Xenoids is a survival horror game set aboard the Ark 5 spacecraft.
After waking from cryo sleep, the player finds the crew missing and hostile creatures roaming the ship. An approaching asteroid adds a deadline to the attempt to survive and prevent a catastrophe. Gameplay includes exploring dark ship decks, collecting resources, and crafting items and weapons. The game offers Story and survival modes, several playable characters with different characteristics, and randomly generated levels. A dynamic infection system affects the ship. Cooperative play lets players survive with friends.
