  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Xenociders is generally viewed as basic and lacking polish, with criticisms aimed at its low-quality stealth mechanics and insufficient explanations of game mechanics. Players noted that the item holding mechanics and crafting system feel underdeveloped, leading to a frustrating experience that could benefit from better difficulty tuning and more refined gameplay elements.

    • “I haven't even gotten into the waggle-to-win knife harvesting... I like the harvest/craft mechanic, but the actual implementation feels very low effort and low polish.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, Xenociders feels like a basic low-quality stealth game that needs either more mechanics explained or its difficulty tuned a bit.”
    • “Either I was missing some mechanic, or that was a bit too much with too few tools to deal with it.”
    • “That doesn't mean their choices for item holding mechanics aren't going to be on my list... that's not the bindings fault, that's the devs' fault.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics received mixed reviews, with some players noting that while they can be decent and visually appealing in certain modes, issues like blurriness, bugs, and incomplete visuals detract from the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, the graphics effectively enhance gameplay elements such as stealth. Overall, the performance may be demanding on lower-end hardware.

    • “The graphic quality does well to emphasize the stealth gameplay as you try not to get gobbled up!”
    • “Graphics are great, but my GTX 1060 has a hard job to do.”
    • “Graphics are not bad in beautiful mode.”
    • “Full of bugs and incomplete sounds/visuals, altogether just a poor experience that could have been so much more if nurtured.”
    • “Graphically, the game was okay.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers three performance modes—performance, normal, and xeno—but players have noted that texture optimization is lacking, along with a need for improved draw distance.

    • “The game offers performance, normal, and xeno modes, allowing players to choose the best settings for their system.”
    • “The optimization is impressive, but there is still room for improvement, particularly with textures and draw distance.”
    • “The performance, normal, and xeno modes are not enough to address the optimization issues.”
    • “The downside so far is that the textures really need better optimization, and the draw distance needs to be longer.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been criticized due to persistent glitches that remain unaddressed, compounded by the developer's abandonment of the project following rushed development and funding cuts from the publisher.

    • “Unfortunately, there were a few glitches that I noticed that weren't fixed, and the game has since been abandoned. Based on discussions with the dev team, the publisher apparently rushed them and then cut funding after release.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times. It's frustrating to invest time only to have it interrupted by stability issues.”
    • “I experienced constant lag and frame drops, which severely impacted my gameplay experience. It feels like the developers didn't prioritize stability.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for its nostalgic charm reminiscent of mid Xbox 360 era games, contributing to an engaging experience while also minimizing load times.

    • “It has a nice atmosphere that evokes the feeling of a mid Xbox 360 era game, which I believe adds to the overall experience. This also results in almost zero load times.”
