About the Game

XENOGARDEN

Xenogarden is a dark sci-fi strategy game where you control an alien swarm spreading across a hostile world.

Build synapse nodes, expand your living network, defend your core, and overwhelm human defenders before they cut your invasion apart.

You are not here to save the world.
You are here to take root.

Gameplay

Expand your territory by growing a network of alien synapses. Each synapse extends your control and opens new tactical options — but every exposed node can become a target.

Protect your core at all costs. If humanity reaches it, the swarm dies.

Leaders

Choose from different alien leaders, each offering unique bonuses, weaknesses, and visual themes. Whether you rely on thorns, poison, brood, crystal, or cold beauty, your leader shapes the way your invasion unfolds.

Features

  • Expand a living alien control network

  • Defend your core from human counterattacks

  • Unlock multiple leaders with distinct playstyles

  • Mix strategy, survival, growth, and swarm pressure

  • Play as the invading force instead of the human defenders

  • Atmospheric sci-fi horror with roguelite progression elements

  • Multiple victory and defeat screens based on your avatar

Development Notice

Xenogarden is still in active development. Gameplay, balancing, visuals, sound, and content may change before release.
