How it feels

A strategic sci-fi adventure where you build and customize a team, collect and evolve alien creatures, and make story-driven choices in turn-based combat and base-building.

What players say

Players find Xenowars a messy but passionate game with a wild story and tactical combat. Many enjoy its weird humor and depth, but others point out poor tutorials, broken auto-save on the alien planet, and a lot of tedious backtracking. The game is reportedly too long, and the base-building feels like a chore.
