Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
41 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
Xenosensory is a compact yet thoughtfully designed indie game that takes the familiar structure of incremental and idle gameplay and reshapes it through a dark science-fiction lens.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
It has much more story than most incrementals and even a few puzzles to solve along the way.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
havent finished the game yet. ive been playing on normal and playing on and off as i watch stuff. so far i am completely obsessed with the idea of progression being a balance of both defending and increasing the difficulty in a way that feels really great. played the prior game from this dev and i really liked it. really fun for the price
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
Those might be the reason x3 costs thing exists, so the dev's efforts and unique visuals will be admired for longer, because once that sector is done-you're through and will never see them reappear (unless you would want to play that sector again or play randomizer mode).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is likewise very well done too, with pops and screams appropriate for the plentiful deaths of both xenos and convicts.
