XeGrader Plus

XeGrader Plus is a gimmick-driven action shooter set in a fallen high-fantasy realm, where you fight monsters and uncover mysteries to restore balance. Choose a male or female warrior and explore stages filled with puzzles, ancient mechanisms and secret paths. Your character becomes stronger only by uncovering hidden mysteries in each level, so you must experiment with the environment and search each stage rather than rely on grinding alone.

A realm in darkness

Monstrous legions roam a once-prosperous world, including Slimes, Kobolds, Zombies and Vampires. As you explore, solving puzzles and finding secrets reveals the lost order and helps restore balance to the realm.

Pixel art and music

Pixel art by Skipmore draws on the look of 8-bit and 16-bit adventures, while dynamic lighting and shadows add depth to the world. Tadahiro Nitta’s soundtrack combines emotional melodies with FM-style chiptune textures.

Classic versions

The game includes two retro versions recreated for Steam:

• V9938 Version (2025): A version originally released as a physical package, with an MSX2 color palette and classic PSG-style sound.
• ORIGIN — PC-8001mkII Version (2024): A hardware-accurate version limited to four colors and raw BEEP speaker sound.
