Our take on Xenowars
Its broad structure trades focused tactical depth for variety, combining exploration, base construction, creature modification, faction conflict, and a separate tower defense mode.
What is Xenowars?
Explore a distant alien planet in a turn-based strategy and RPG campaign.
Assemble an expedition from specialists such as engineers, scientists, mutant warriors, and military personnel, then establish a base on the alien world. Search for lost technology while investigating the events that threaten Earth. Battles include confrontations with alien bosses and a separate tower defense mode featuring recruitable tactical units. The game includes thousands of alien creatures, several civilizations, and competing factions from regions including the USA, China, and Europe. Creature genes can be collected for genetic editing, allowing monsters to grow into colossal forms. Story decisions lead to different possible endings.
