Xenos: Cartoon Creature Catcher

Xenos: Cartoon Creature Catcher is a retro creature-collecting game with turn-based battles. You hunt for Xenos in a world where humans and the alien creatures live side by side, and encounter parody, jokes and fourth-wall breaks. There are 50 species of Xenos, with five rare forms for each.

The world and story

People have differing opinions about Xenos, and you visit several towns that express those views in different ways. You also encounter opinions at a personal level as you uncover the story. The world explores these disagreements without taking itself too seriously, and its conflicts are not simply black and white.

Collect and develop Xenos

Each Xeno has randomly generated stats. Species may lean toward particular stats, but individuals can vary widely, and any Xeno can be built to suit a chosen style. Move pools are also randomized: when a Xeno levels up, it can learn from a selection of possible moves, so two of the same species may develop different movesets. Move-learning items let you adjust a moveset when needed.

The five rare variants of each Xeno have distinct appearances, a buff and several additional moves in their move pools. They are difficult, but not impossible, to find.

Strategic battles

Battles revolve around planning moves and managing energy points. You can wear down an opponent gradually while keeping your Xeno's health up, or save energy for a powerful attack. Four battle-speed settings let you choose how quickly fights play out.
