XO-Planets

XO-Planets combines action platforming, tower defense and light RPG elements in a roguelike about exploring hostile, procedurally generated planets. You fight to survive and find a new home for mankind, using one-handed weapons, turrets, missile launchers and tesla towers. Each run has different levels and randomized mission types.

Runs and upgrades

Death is permanent, and most of your progress is lost when you die. Rare Xolyriums can unlock permanent upgrades for your Reconnoiter between runs. Patience, skill and preparation are needed to survive each expedition.

You can unlock abilities such as double jump, dash and wall climbing. The Distro Machine lets you buy enhancements for your AI, and the Jukebox unlocks the soundtrack.

Weapons and enemies

Weapons are randomly generated across nine types: sword, axe, whip, gun, shotgun, sniper and three launcher types. Enhancements can add effects such as vampirism, fire or ice, while powerful mod drops let you modify weapons. You can also hunt for Legendary weapons.

More than 25 AI Unit enhancement mods include Jet-Pack, Teleport and Juggernaut. Across the planets, you face 25 enemy creatures with distinct behaviors and immunities, five major bosses and five bounty mini-bosses.

Mission types

Each run includes a variety of randomized missions:

• Search and Destroy: hunt down and eliminate key enemy targets.
• Bounty Hunter: track and kill dangerous mini-bosses for rewards.
• Bomber Man: plant explosives and destroy critical enemy structures.
• Treasure Hunter: search the planet for valuable loot and rare resources.
• Tower Defense: build defenses and survive waves of attacking abominations.
• Ruins of War: explore ruined battlefields filled with danger, loot and hidden threats.

Crew and co-op

You can play local co-op with a friend. Six AI Reconnoiters, each with a different playstyle, can be unlocked and mastered. You can also unlock each member of the G-Raiders crew and discover their stories, and collect intel on every invader you encounter.
