Project Xsting

Project Xsting is a sci-fi survival roguelite with comic-style graphics and cyberpunk vibes. You play as a lab subject escaping a facility operated by H.I.V.E. Medical Corp. Each run starts at a random point on the map, where you fight through growing numbers of enemies, survive and defeat bosses using the mutations the corporation sought to exploit.

Mutations and upgrades

Every character has a ranged attack and a melee attack, with the style and reach of both varying according to their unique mutation. Your choice of character affects how you play. Defeat enemies and collect their life force to gain power-ups and develop your mutation differently during each run.

There are 98 in-combat upgrades and up to 63 mutation tree upgrades. The game also includes achievements and an original soundtrack for the game and each character.

Stages and hazards

You can play across four stages, each with a different visual setting. Some stages or stage levels add environmental challenges. You can use your surroundings to help escape: rocks and trees can break up or slow enemy swarms, while areas marked by enemy-dispatched drones can affect anyone who enters them, including the enemy forces.

Enemies and challenges

You face the highly trained, armed security forces of H.I.V.E. Medical Corp, who use a variety of weapons. The game includes varied enemy types and five increasingly dangerous bosses, as well as surprise bosses.

There are five difficulty modes, with each mode unlocking the next level when completed. Completing any stage unlocks Madness mode.
