A very good foundation for this Early Access bullet heaven title. The stylized 3D urban sci-fi vibe and look works out well, with an already polished and fun gameplay and a good power progression. It's a bit closer to those slow bullet heaven titles where the player is outgunned early on, but the movement speed and health levels mean it's feasible to properly crowd control large amounts of enemies with the correct weapons and perks. The game only launched today, at the time of this writing, and while there's various characters, ultimate abilities and levels to unlock and use, the latter even in harder Horde and Night modes, the variety of enemies, weapons and visuals is ultimately not too high, and even the permanent upgrades are playing it safe. In short, DEFCON: Xenos won't quite set the world on fire for originality and still has to finetune a couple aspects, but it's certainly one of the most enjoyable bullet heaven titles already and I'm excited about its future. The game has ful...

It's Vampire Survivors with poly graphics and a (in my opinion) blander scifi setting. Upgrade path is good and you can achieve that frenetic feeling of popping lots of mobs. Feels a bit harder starting out and the unlocks more expensive... maybe needs a little balancing toward less initial frustration. Recommend if you like this kind of game
All thrills no filler, loads of fun, great game play formulas presented,great play-ability,I really love this damn game
This is worthy survivor game. It have the now popular polygon assets with good visual effects. There is alot of unlocks what tied to quests you have to finish in missions. Very fluid and fun gameplay, alot of characters and skills to unlock and choose from. They also keep contact with the community and working on next Update. It have a demo what you should try. Recommended game!
Fun roguelite with decent metaprogression, hoping to see it grow into a game i can play for many more hours
Decent. Nothing super special, but nothing bad. If you want another Survivor style game to play, try it out.
Basic survivors game, but pretty good for what it is - especially for the price.
I want to like this game but I wouldn't recommend it unless you've played every other game in the genre. PROS: -$4.99 price tag means that if you got a few hours entertainment out of it then you got your money's worth. - Good graphics for this genre. CONS: -way to easy. - unbalanced weapons. Some weapons are too weak and some are two powerful. It makes picking or not picking items at level up a no brainer. You're not going to strain your brain at level up trying to decide what to pick. -Combat is not challenging at all. You can max out the difficulty and go the full 20 minutes on your first attempt. -You will max out your weapons and items 10 or 15 minutes into a run and spend the rest of your time just running around bored for 5 or 10 minutes waiting for the final boss at the 20 minute mark. -Not enough variety of weapons and items. It's too easy to build your favorite build every game. - It's too easy too get meta currency. You can buy 3 to 5 upgrades after every run. You'll have...
