Evaluation

Xenopurge launched into Early Access on July 11, 2025 and reached its full 1.0 release on November 20, 2025, delivering four squads, a full story campaign, expanded commands, weapons, and gear as promised. Since launch, the developer has maintained an active update cadence. A major content update (v1.1.0.0) shipped on January 22, 2026, adding a new Commander rank, three new ranged weapons, and new gear. A second major post-launch update — the Arsenal Update — followed on May 4, 2026, introducing a new target prioritization system. This establishes a sustained pattern of significant content additions roughly every 3 months after the full release. A November 27, 2025 developer post expressed commitment to "exploring the future of our work on this special project," signaling that post-launch development was always the plan. No specific future content has been announced by name, but the developer has not indicated that updates are winding down, and the most recent major release was on May 4, 2026 — only about 6 weeks before today's date, comfortably within the established update window.

About this game

Xenopurge is a tactical auto-battler where you command an elite squad remotely, deep in the warzones of Xenowarfare. As part of M.A.C.E. (Mercer’s Advanced Combat Enterprises), your mission is clear: purge all these aliens to keep humanity safe.

From several computer screens, you'll see the layout of the facilities your units traverse, directing them to search, recover and destroy.

The Xeno menace is relentless. To survive, you’ll need sharp tactics, upgraded gear, and a willingness to sacrifice. You’re not in the field—but their lives are in your hands.

You give the orders, they fight for their lives

Instead of a classic top-down view of the battlefield, you operate from a remote command center surrounded by screens and data feeds. You can give orders to your troops from a list of instructions but will have a limited range of direct actions to impact the battlefield. Xenopurge is more about anticipation and planning, than reaction and control.

Recruit and equip your squad

As the mission unfolds, you'll have the chance to bring in new squad members with their own starting tactical methods. Gear them up to fit your command style — shaping a team built for your tactical needs.

Experience a tense tactical auto-battler

You're leading your troops to hunt and exterminate alien threats in the depths of space. Ominous, dark spaceships inspired by the likes of Alien & Space Hulk combined with a retro-futuristic aesthetics, creating a creeping horror atmosphere where every decision feels critical. It’s not just about tactics — it’s about surviving the unknown.

Keep improving

Every decision matters with the tension of death looming over your shoulders, countered with the satisfaction of roguelite continuous progression, you'll shape your strategies to overcome the evolving threats. Expand your command abilities and unlock new recruit options after every run. Success or failure, you will become a better leader. 

Quick Diverse Engaging Sessions – Playable in Short Bursts

Designed for fast, intense tactical runs, Xenopurge lets players complete a run in around 60 minutes—This makes it easy to pick up and play, whether you have time for a single mission or an extended session.

Procedurally generated maps ensure no two missions are the same, with variable layouts, enemies, keeping each run unpredictable.

Combined with diverse objectives like search, escort, extraction, and destruction, every mission becomes a fresh tactical challenge.
