Xanthiom Zero

Xanthiom Zero is an impressive indie Metroidvania developed and published by MathanGames that successfully blends retro design philosophy with modern gameplay refinement.

I will be having another go on a higher difficulty as it was lots of fun.

I wont spoil the story but its genuinely gripping, delivered in small dialogues with npc's and wall carvings but not too much you want to skip through the text.

Visually, Xanthiom Zero embraces a pixel-art style that feels both nostalgic and modern.

Whether focusing on precision attacks, rapid-fire offense, or specialized utility, there is considerable freedom in how combat can be approached.

Combined with effective sound effects, the audio design helps immerse players in the world and reinforces the sense of adventure that drives the experience.
