Xenophobe is a side-scrolling shooter with platform elements. The game takes place in space stations orbiting your homeworld, where an alien threat has taken over. A small band of engineers has been dispatched to combat the Xeno threat before it's too late.
You assemble your team and fight the Xenos on each station, trying to either clear it or abandon it. The game starts with a standard issue laser, but you can collect additional weapons such as Phasers, Lightning Rifles, Poofer guns, and bombs to help you in the battle against the alien threat.
