A really nice bonus item will be included with ALL pre-orders (and exclusively with pre-orders). Announcement coming soon ;) Once the game is released and shipped, no more pre-order exclusive goodies!

I don't want to rip on someone who put so much apparent effort in it but this one I was interested in until I saw some play of it. Looks awful, doesn't look much fun either. It's like Slave Zero in that it also looks like a poorly handled barely upscaled N64 type cartridge release. Very muddy, angular, janky camera, just shoddy work overall just to make a buck.

While we are hard at work on our next stage for Xenocider, we couldn't wait to share a little teaser of the amazing tune Juanjo created for it. We are pretty sure that you can see what our influences are here... ;)

Lead programmer Chui shows off his skills playing the hardest Xenocider level he's coded so far. Reflexes and memorization are everything when you're trying to make it through the Transistor Highway. This is 100% real Dreamcast hardware!

I respectively disagree with Tanooki above. You're a small team with little budget coding almost 2 decades after support. That's why we've seen so much 2D homebrew/indie. Stepping into 3D is a different world.

I haven't seen a projected relese date. Any general idea. Will there be general copies for sale later or KS pre order only?

Thank you for your comment.

As our original KS failed, we went for good old preorders instead, so there will be of course more copies after release. Only PAL and Steelbook editions are strictly limited, and the poster is a preorder exclusive bonus which won't be included after launch.

By the way, only 9 copies of the Steelbook edition remain in stock, while the PAL edition has been sold out for a while now: http://retrosumus.com/product/xenocider ... k-edition/

As you can see, the item specifies June 2017 as estimated release date :) We may experience some delays naturally, but we want to at least have the game completely finished by then.
