Xenomarine

Xenomarine is a turn-based roguelike in which you play a space marine stranded on an alien-infested space station. Your squad is dead, and you begin with a crowbar, a torch running low on power and battered armor. You fight through infinite randomly generated levels, trying to survive against 120 alien enemies as you progress as far as you can.

The station and its enemies

The station has atmospheric lighting and procedurally generated sound effects. Its 120 enemies come from 10 alien types, each with 12 variants and unique behaviours. Randomly generated missions and mini-quests add further challenges as you explore.

Combat and progression

Combat is tactical and turn-based, with multiple damage types and status effects. There are no starting classes: you shape your character through in-game choices, finding and choosing among usable items, weapons and armor that can be upgraded individually. The game has over 70 skill upgrades, and you gain experience through combat and randomly generated missions.

You can craft items from scrap, upgrade weapons and armor, hack drones and turrets, deploy traps, and find and use alien technology. Usable items include scanners, forcefields and night-vision goggles.

Game modes

In the default roguelike mode, death is permanent and sends you back to level 1. The Adventure mode lets you continue your game after dying. Random generation means each playthrough differs, with the game’s elements tuned for balance.

Ascension Edition

The Ascension Edition adds a storyline about uncovering the truth behind the alien infestation, along with a new game mechanic involving multidimensional technology. These additions provide an option to win the game.
