Exophobia takes players into chaotic corridors of a crashed human spaceship overrun by alien threats. It is wrapped by a deceptively retro visual art style amidst its modern mechanics.
It draws inspiration from classic ‘boomer shooters’ such as Quake and DOOM. As a result, it blends classic and modern formula into a on-stop, adrenaline-fueled action.
What sets it apart from other shooters of the genre is its Metroidvania-style exploration. Players battle relentless alien enemies, progressively upgrading their weapons and unlocking powerful abilities to survive the escalating challenges.
And since the game is all about guns and more guns, it delivers intense combat with a wide array of weapons at the player’s disposal. Which is why characters are encouraged to grow stronger, unlocking new upgrades and powerups to tackle the ever-increasing threats.
Exophobia came out in July this year and gained a cult following in the sea of boomer shooters. It stands at ‘Positive’ reviews on Steam from 45 loyal players. Much of its praise was on its distinct art style and fluid gameplay
.It did have the occasional hiccups. One such issue is having a confusing map. The map made backtracking frustrating according to one Steam reviewer.
The game is now available on select stores for the price of $34.99
