Xenopurge

Xenopurge is an indie tactical auto-battler from developer Traptics. The game places players in command of an elite squad remotely from a command center, issuing indirect orders through multi-screen interfaces to purge alien threats in warzones. Squad members can be recruited and equipped, with progression following a roguelite structure that includes unlockable abilities and recruits. Maps are procedurally generated, offering varied layouts and mission objectives for unpredictable tactical challenges.The core gameplay loop revolves around strategic planning and anticipation, rather than direct battlefield control, as players issue instructions from a list to their units. This indirect command system, combined with a focus on squad customization and equipment, shapes a unique approach to the tactical auto-battler genre. Xenopurge emphasizes short, engaging sessions, with individual runs lasting around 60 minutes, and features a retro-futuristic aesthetic that evokes a creeping horror atmosphere.
