Quotes from the Press
Here is what the press had to say after their hands-on with the game:
"Xenopurge is genuinely fraught and tense in a way few strategy games manage. You really feel like the guy back at base, desperately trying to get his squad home safe." - PC Gamer
"Xenopurge is a surprisingly tense auto-battler roguelike, with a vibe that would fit right at home in an ‘80s sci-fi flic." - VICE
"Xenopurge is one of, if not the most, unique games I’ve played this year. A game where *immersion* is the operating word." - Try Hard Guides

About the game
Channeling classic Hollywood 'cassette futurist' aesthetics, Xenopurge is a tactical auto-battler where you command an elite squad remotely, deep in the warzones of Xenowarfare. As part of M.A.C.E. (Mercer’s Advanced Combat Enterprises), your mission is clear: purge all these aliens to keep humanity safe.
From several computer screens, you'll see the layout of the facilities your units traverse, directing them to search, recover, and destroy. The Xeno menace is relentless. To survive, you’ll need sharp tactics, upgraded gear, and a willingness to sacrifice. You’re not in the field, but their lives are in your hands.
