Be the last hope against the mutant infestation.  Enter the aftermath of a scientific experiment gone horribly wrong.

Xenowerk™ comes from Pixelbite, the creators of Space Marshals. It is a top-down action shooter challenging your combat skills in an underground science lab. Descend deeper into the abyss and explore the tarnished levels. Armed with a flashlight as your main guidance, you’ll never know what’s lurking in the dark! 

MISSION
Your objective is to destroy all the nests and eliminate all mutants to prevent them from spreading.
Xenowerk™ has 70 levels to explore with increasing difficulty. As progressing through the game you’ll come across a growing number of mutants and expanding areas to cleanse.

ARSENAL
Heavier firepower and thicker armor is critical to stay alive on your journey. Gather pickups from slain mutants to power up weapons and armor.

SPECIAL POWERS
Xenowerk™ features a set of special powers to boost your offensive when you’re in need. Activate one or several at a time for a more effective way to wipe out mutants.

Milovaná hra ani po letech neomrzí. Grafika, atmosféra, zbraně - luxus! Děkuji

### 1/5 — Nothing😒

*2025-11-18, version 2.0.7*

Although I find this game good, I only rate it 1 star because on Oppo I can play all the maps I really like, but on iOS it's the opposite, forcing you to buy maps, many people complain like that because the journey is very short and you also force you to buy maps, so you have to update the game in some way to satisfy others
