    Xeno Crisis feels like a lost classic from a bygone era of gaming – a brilliant twin-stick arena shooter which wears its influences on its blood-drenched sleeve. The stern challenge may prove to be off-putting for casual players, but it rewards dedication with some of the most intense and addictive blasting action you can find in the genre. Convince a fellow player to join in and you've got the makings of a co-op classic.

    Xeno Crisis is undoubtedly a solid throwback to co-op twin-stick shooters but with so many better options available, it's difficult to wholeheartedly recommend. That being said, you probably won't regret buying it if you're itching for more retro action.

XenoCrisis is a tough as nails twin-stick shooter that will keep you coming back for more. On the standard (Hard) difficulty, I wage that it'll take the average player at LEAST 10 solid hours of hardcore Xeno-smashing before they can *finish* the game. My only gripe id what appears to be a memory leak issue, causing slowdown/choppiness after about an hour.

    *Spoiler* If you use ANY continues during the game, you CANNOT fight the final boss, and instead will die like a little **** on the laboratory floor.    … Full Review »

This game needs a save feature. There's cheat codes, that'll make the game easier, but requiring cheats to beat the game is a NO for me.… Full Review »
