Xenophobe is an action game that was first released in the Arcade in 1987.
+ Plays great in solo mode, but the teamwork involved in surviving the two-player co-op mode is very engaging.+ Provides you with an assortment of weapons and figuring out the strengths / weaknesses of each is enjoyable.
+ Eerie backdrops convey a foreboding sense of dread and isolation, and losing access to a weapon is stressful.
+ Always an urgency to destroy enemies as quickly as possible, otherwise they mutate into powerful creatures!
- Missing the Festor enemy from the Arcade original and Atari Lynx (1990) port, which added more variety.
- Little challenge (even on Expert) and the action never replicates the chaotic nature of the aforementioned versions.
- Cut-scenes and point total calculations between rounds cannot be skipped, which slows down the game's flow.
