Description

XENOMARINE is a sci-fi-horror themed roguelike in which you play a space marine exploring a dark alien-infested space station. You start out with nothing but a crowbar, a torch running low on battery and some damaged armor...and high hopes of finding some powerful alien tech! Xenomarine combines classic 'roguelike' gameplay (including procedural level generation and 'permadeath') with atmospheric visuals and an intuitive interface.

History

Xenomarine has been in development since early 2015. The first public release (on itch.io) was in early 2016, consisting of a basic Demo version of the first three levels. Development continued during 2016 and 2017 and the Early Access version was released on Steam on 25th October 2017. After a brief hiatus in the second half half of 2018, development recommenced in 2019 with a transition from early access to full steam release on 24th April 2019.
