Xenocider (2021 3D shooter Demo 1 & 2) [CDI]

XENOCIDER (2021) New Dreamcast release . Available demos

Hi: I was reviewing this new game that comes from a Spanish production, it is strange to me that no one here has posted almost anything about the game. Xenocider was released in January as I know, nothing like other recent releases, this is a 3D shooter game, the type of work our Dreamcast deserves.
The demos are in CDI format also available out there on the net.

I upload 2 demos in CDI with some covers and special editions

Retro Sumus are legit legends in these parts . Failed Kickstarter unfortunately way back in 2016 but soldiered on to deliver a game which is perhaps the high water mark of post commercial releases. But you're right, tell everyone and keep telling everyone who'll listen that this is a great game

Xenocider is a very good game. I recommend it strongly.

Thanks you for the two firsts demo, i thought they were lost.
There is a third in their website, you can see the improvements

I must admit, I do often forget about Xenocider, I've owned it for near on 6 months and haven't opened it as of yet... Maybe I need to change that.

Bought the download meself, very impressive!

You should buy it if you are able.

I'm no reviewer but I'll do my best.

I don't even really care for Space Harrier and the like so I was very much on the fence. On one hand it's a new 3d dreamcast game. F**k yeah. On the other, Space Harrier bull? F**K.

Obviously I ended up being drawn in by the 3d but I'm very I was. It runs best on hardware but you can play it on demul if you don't mind some graphical glitches. Actually, I think you can run it on demul, I played in on demul very little though and it may be you can only play the early portion. I don't think it will work at all on any other emulator.

I bought the digital version and burned it. Runs great on my DC. I didn't bother to check serial numbers or any of that stuff and I am American. Dunno if that helps or not.

The digital buy gets you access to artwork and all the things you need to make a game at home that looks as good or professional as you are willing to make it. I really, really, really wish everyone would do this.

Outside of the production stuff you get a few flavors of disc image. I'm not sure what the various kinds are for and if anyone is super interested I'll find them and tell you exactly what they. I burned the CDI file.

The gameplay is all over Youtube, there's plenty of coverage. It is what you'd expect from watching those videos, a lot like Space Harrier. I wouldn't call it terribly hard or easy, it's on the harder side but no harder than classic games used to be I don't think. It's fair, when you fail you just need to get better. I think it's fun and I'm not a big fan of that sort of gameplay. It's plenty smooth on a real Dreamcast and the visuals are all cool in my opinion.


I think everyone who owns a Dreamcast should buy this game. You have to hate the art syle or gameplay or some such to not enjoy it. Even if it's not something you'd normally like I bet you do like it. As long as it's not touching a pet peeve or something like that, buy it.

Or don't, I don't really care, I just think you're missing out.

I agree with you it's a will done game and feels polished.. The demo's dont really do it justice but the 3rd demo as the 1st and 2nd are very early builds..

I don't even really care for Space Harrier and the like so I was very much on the fence. On one hand it's a new 3d dreamcast game. F**k yeah. On the other, Space Harrier bull? F**K. Xenocider has flying phases and walking phases, for what I know space harrier is only flying game.

No, in Reicast it does not start (any demo at least)

I think is a very good release for Dreamcat considering 20 years after Dreamcast Death, an A.D. release
