About This Game
About
Xeno Fighters R
is an in-development shmup fangame inspired by the
Raiden Fighters
series
by Seibu Kaihatsu.
The game has four original fighters: the
Amada Vipros
, the
Phyxius
, the
Zaiva
, and the
Xelcor
. It also features
guest fighters
from other shoot 'em up games by Psikyo, Capcom, Konami, and others.
There are 20 stages to play in the game with four different game modes to select from.
The story of
Xeno Fighters R
involves
BRES
, a group of humans subverted by the hostile Keto. BRES and the Keto extraterrestrials attack ATHENA through various periods in Earth's war history, using the wars as cover to their operations to destroy the Earth. The
guest fighters
do not have any connection to the story.
How to play
Move your fighter around the screen in 8 directions. Fire your fighter's weapons at enemies to destroy them, while avoiding enemy attacks and projectiles. Each fighter has their own "Bomber" attack that deals damage to enemies and cancels out enemy projectiles.
You lose a life when an enemy or enemy projectile touches your fighter's
"hitbox"
(small area on your fighter).
