Long description

XENO // BREACH is a top-down pixel-art sci-fi horror roguelike shooter from Lynxed Games, an independent studio. An alien hive has taken a starship. You deploy as a marine, alone or with AI squadmates, and fight down through five decks: the Cryoship Aethelgard, Bio-Lab Zero, the Grav-Foundry Kharon, the Hive Cathedral and, at the bottom, the inside of the Brood Mother.

Each deck is built fresh every run and has its own creatures, its own mini-boss and its own objective. The waves never stop: the next one starts as the last one falls. You weld vents shut, build a sentry turret and buy guns off the walls with what you earn. Every third wave brings a boss.

Your suit lamp is the only light. It shows you the deck and shows you to the hive: with it on, they spot you from more than twice as far. Every shot makes noise, and noise brings them.

Every run starts equal. You grow inside a run: a skill point every wave, branching skill trees that fork at ranks 3 and 5, and a mutation spliced into your marine on every new deck, 51 in all, some of them cursed. Between runs, the Vault unlocks variety (new mutations, starter guns, squad slots), never power.

The first two decks are free. One purchase unlocks the rest for good. No ads, no energy timers, no subscription. It plays offline.

Features

  • Five decks, each built fresh every run, each with its own creatures, mini-boss and objective
  • Light and noise: your lamp lets the hive spot you from more than twice as far, and every shot carries
  • 40+ weapons in five classes, from lightning guns to a launcher that fires black holes; pick your starter gun per class
  • Six skill trees that fork at ranks 3 and 5: every fork is a choice for the run
  • A mutation on every new deck: 51 to discover, some of them cursed
  • Every run starts equal: the Vault unlocks variety, never power
  • Weld vents, build a sentry turret, buy guns off the walls between kills
  • Perfect dodge for slow motion and a double-damage riposte; break a brute’s poise to stagger it
  • Five bosses and five deck mini-bosses
  • Solo, or with AI marines who back you up and need reviving
  • Twin-stick touch controls in landscape or portrait; keyboard and mouse on a computer
  • Plays offline; the browser version is the same game as the apps
