About the game
Xenopurge is a sci-fi tactical squad-based game where you take on the role of a commander orchestrating humanity’s offence against an alien menace. Operate from the safety of your remote command center, where every action, from issuing orders to monitoring your squad’s survival, is made through tactical displays and live mission feeds. You best make the right calls, or you'll hear your squad's screams in your ear...
By blending real-time strategy with a tight roguelite gameplay loop, Xenopurge challenges you to adapt to shifting mission objectives and lead a team of soldiers against overwhelming odds.
Inspired by the tension and Aliens and the claustrophobic corridors of Warhammer 40K: Space Hulk, the game’s retro-futuristic aesthetic and unnerving horror atmosphere ensure every decision feels critical.
Key Features
- Autonomous Customizable Soldiers | Command a squad of elite soldiers remotely. Tailor their loadouts, behaviors, and tactics, then watch them execute their missions autonomously. If you see things take a turn for the worst, intervene with timely instructions or risk hearing their final screams...
- Roguelite Core Loop | No two missions are the same and every decision matters. With the tension of permadeath looming over your shoulders countered with the satisfaction of roguelite continuous progression , you'll shape your strategies to overcome the evolving threats.
- Immersive Command-Center Perspective | Manage every aspect of the mission from your (safe?) command center, viewing the action through live feeds, tactical displays, and sensor data. The retrofuturistic interface blurs the line between strategy and horror as you monitor your squad’s survival.
To all Commanders!
