Xenia Reviews

excellent-retro game!!Congratulations!

Nice game but a little bit hard on boss fights ;)

Nothing special so I can't really reccomend it.Basic action game with lots of traps...

The game takes place in Greece during Trojan War. Our protagonist is Ardas, who tries to save the princess Xenia, from the evil wizard Skotos, who has kidnap her. The gameplay is the usual for a metroidvania game. It is fast paced with a lot of action. There are various enemies with different characteristics, traps and bosses that can challenge even the most expirienced gamers. There are many difficult parts in Xenia, something that many fans of this kind of games will definitaly appreciate. The amount of gameplay is good, and it is not boring and the stages are not the same and repeatitive, and also has different routes that can be explored. The game has a kind of nostalgic feeling, becouse of the specific artistic design and the sounds. Moreover, this game has been created by one developer and the result is pretty solid. In the final analysis, it is an enjoyable game, and obviously a must-have for every metroidvania fan (taking into consideration the reasonable price). The game is solid and has various enemies,traps and challenging bosses.

Being a fan of metroidvania games, I couldn't look away from Xenia, which combines classic fast-paced platform gameplay and huge areas to explore with traps, secrets and difficult bosses. You control Ardas, an ancient Greek warrior, who tries to save queen Xenia, from the hands of the evil wizard Skotos. You take your sword and walk deep into the ancient dungeons, killing enemies and collecting gold, in order to buy upgrades that'll make the fight with the wizard easier. The game is highly challenging with a great variety of enemies that each need different tactics and approach to defeat. A game like this couldn't be without hidden traps that make your precious health drop fast. Losing only takes you back to the last checkpoint, which you can find in the form of a magical orb, so repeating retries won't get you bored at all. The graphics are well designed, if you consider the fact that they were hand drawn by the game creator. Do not expect 3D effects or anything spectacular. You don't need those anyway in a game like this. The sound effects and the soundtrack, which features ancient Greek tunes. take you back to the 8-bit era. Overall a great game to have in your collection, especially if you are a fan of metroidvania games and classic old skool gameplay. It also features different endings which raises its replayability value. Thumbs up to the creator!

This is a very exciting 2D platformer. I liked the fact that there was a story line and the fact that collecting coins had an actual purpose unlike some other games of the same kind. I recommend this game to anyone that likes games with an 80s style.

At first it looks very hard but, if you manage your gold and the first thing you buy is the orb, it makes your life much easier!! Overall, pretty cool game for 5 bucks!

Game does not work, it load but you can not move when game starts.

Really bad game, atrocious controls, graphics, sounds etc. The levels are horrible and the characters doesn't always do what you want, really clunky gameplay. It will test your nerves with how bad the design in the levels along with the bad controls is. It was made by only one guy so for that effort it's ok i guess... Do not expect anything good, only something to pass your time for a little bit and then uninstall it. Not worth any price.

A basic action platformer with nothing that would have me recommend it to people. It isn't unplayable, but unless you are getting it cheap, there is little reason to even look at it. It most certainly isn't a Metroidvania style game, which is the only reason I spent my own money.
