Overall: Funny indie game with nice retro graphic and sound. Game process: - You need to pick a glyph with similar picture that showed to you - There are time limit to choose the right glyph. - Every level time limit become smaller. - If you choose right glyph - you hit monsters, if not - monsters hit you. - Sometimes you get a level-up and boost some of your skills (HP, Attack, etc) You can beat the game for 1 - 2 hours. After you beat the game - you can play Hardcore mode. That's all!

About This Game

XANARTHRAXIA, at its core, is a game about self-discovery, self-discipline. and personal accomplishment. Ultimately, the greatest enemy you'll face throughout the entire experience is yourself. At a certain point it becomes a personal challenge that you will want to finish simply because you believe you can. Finishing will require your full attention, hand-eye coordination, personal determination, timing, focus, quick reaction speed and maybe a cup of coffee to perk you up. The only thing that can hold you back are your own self-doubts, personal fears and limiting beliefs. Overcome yourself, overcome XANARTHRAXIA.

Excellent. Tough boots. Strong nail-proof souls with anti-slip, which are also resistant to heat and cold. Steel-toe capped. They're not overly bulky either and the weight is fairly light. They go above the ankle in height as opposed to half way up the shin... they're sort of a cross between boots and toe-capped shoes, which is nice since the thick sides can offer protection to the ankles without adding to weight or impeding movement.
Xanarthraxia feels like an underdeveloped prototype. The guts are there, but I just can't help but feel the game's mechanic could have been fleshed out with more depth, options, and story/character/world-building. But perhaps casual minimalism is all it set out to be. The game's early levels can put you in a meditative trance, but I don't understand how others are calling this game "relaxing"; it gets incredibly stressful, especially as things speed up further along. Worth taking a bath if you enjoy innovative, independent works, but the water's gonna get cold real quick.
it's honestly kind of neat concept but the gameplay is repetitive and get's boring after a bit, all your doing is matching the same symbols, fighting the same enemies with no increasing challenge, idk if this is because it's in early access or something but that's how the game is right now.
As you can tell from the trailer I have a lot of fun with this game! Show your support for indie game developers and give it a try!
Extremely stressful but not too difficult. Always take the -25% time cooldown upgrade if you have it.
Xanarthraxia may just mean "meet the strange" where you sort of play a knight standing against the forces of evil (tm) - "sort of" because you will barely pay attention to your avatar. It is a pretty short game with simple, consistent pixel imagery which I had to check out after the fact since the game hardly allows the player to check out the scenery. Rather you are made to single-mindedly execute the main gameplay loop which the game communicates concisely and accurately by its initial words "As Above So Below", i. e. you are tasked to find a symbol displayed on top and select it in a three-by-three matrix on the bottom with each level decreasing time given to accomplish. I very much liked that this allows use of the keypad without which I could not have reduced my higher brain functions enough to beat the game. I believe, you can also control it with a mouse. After level 2, I fully expected to be outpaced and almost accepted to have encountered a game beyond my facilities but it tur...
Small game that is precisely what it says on the tin. Easy to zone out to. Easily worth full price, even if you only play the game a couple times.
It's a simple tile match game with an early low-bit PC overlay. It shows the card and you match it from the nine below, having fewer and fewer until all have been matched and the4 board reset. Keep doing this to progress through all the lands and kill any foes in your path. Upgrades can be unlocked at various intervals of the game. If you match enough tiles without failing you gain a special attack that can help out in a pinch if you can't find the one tile you need. There's a running kill count as well, not to mention leaderboards to compare your score against the community. For what I paid, it felt worth the experience. Xanarthraxia is a fun little time waster with more of a pick-up-and-play sort of casual approach. While simplistic at first, it relies on you to focus and decipher the differences between the images on the tiles, offering as challenge the deeper you get and the shorter the time you have to find the correct tile becomes.
Fun, addicting, intensive. Those are the 3 words I'd use to describe this game. It's a pattern game, an RPG clicker, where you have to click the image presented in the middle down below in square. There's not much to do in the game, but I think the point is to have your absolute focus on one thing for as long as you can, as it gradually gets faster and faster. There's also the artwork. Very solid. Unfortunately you don't really get to look at it much as your eyes will be on the symbols that rapidly rolls over the player. I experienced this first hand as I was talking to someone and looking at a chat while trying to play the game. I'd never heard of it until a friend told me about it. We both decided to get it. Some friendly competition. After our first try we got 3rd and 4th place respectively on the world? leaderboard. I wonder what the 2 devs are gonna bring to the table later on. I already have decent expectations. Good game, would recommend to anyone with good reactions and... v...
