Xenophobe is an action game that was first released in the Arcade in 1987.
+ Provides you with an assortment of weapons and figuring out the strengths / weaknesses of each is fun.
- Little challenge with no difficulty options, inordinate amount of health pickups, and easily exploitable enemy patterns.
- Aliens respawn indefinitely in single rooms, meaning you can complete bases without leaving the opening screen.
- Missing the Festor enemy from the Arcade original and Atari Lynx (1990) port, which added more variety.
- Controls are unbearably stiff and you always feel like you're battling against them throughout each play-through.
- Graphics have been dumbed-down in an overly cartoony way and they no longer evoke the original's creepy vibe.
