How it feels

A frenetic, retro 2D platformer with intense boss fights and a mysterious sci-fi undertone.

What players say

Players describe Xenogunner as a tough boss rush game in the style of Treasure classics like Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier. It is short, around 4 to 5 hours for a full playthrough, but replayable with two characters. Opinions split on difficulty: some appreciate the checkpoints, while others find bosses cheap with poor telegraphing.
