I like Xenoraid and appreciate what it has set out to do, but at the same time I'm not blown away by it...

Everyone's played enough of this type of game by now in order to know what to expect. You're going to be ducking and diving in amongst enemy fire as you tear down waves of enemies coming from the top of the screen. There's just not quite enough here to make Xenoraid memorable.

There is some satisfaction to be found in slaughtering the alien forces that are hellbent on attacking Earth in Xenoraid, but the experience fails to ever be more than distinctly average. Even throwing in the chance for friends to fly alongside you as wingmen seems a flawed move, a couch co-op experience that comes at the cost of removing the best idea that the game has going for it. There are better games in the genre to spend your time with on Nintendo Switch, then – meaning that it’s best to leave someone else to defend mankind in this one.

This is a shoot-'em-up catered to players who don't want a frantic & flashy game and would rather play something that's more chill while playing with minor simulation elements. The game's smooth controls are attributed to that.

With Xenoraid, 10tons’ real intention was to combine classic and contemporary stylings and deliver old-school kicks and challenges. On that score, Xenoraid delivers the payload.

If you’re a Schmuck for Shmups then you may enjoy what Xenoraid has to offer. With a short campaign and a bland Survival mode, you're enjoyment of Xenoraid may not be long lasting.

Xenoraid is fast, it's pretty and it's addictive. It's a vertical shoot 'em up style game with a new age Space Invaders kind of feel.

Xenoraid is pretty much only saved from a savage review by using a controller to play the game. Otherwise it's a slightly below average title, but possibly worth a shot if you have $10 spare and like this genre of game.

Unfortunately, I am not sure as to whether or not I would recommend the game or not. I think this is more of a Marmite type game, if you're into this genre, then you are going to love it, however, if you are unsure or not really played this genre before, then I have a feeling that 90% would probably not enjoy it.
