Xotic Launches On Xbox LIVE Arcade
A Sci-Fi, Arcade Style FPS Game That Is Like No Other
SEATTLE (November 30, 2011) – Get ready for an independent game that doesn’t look or play like a traditional first-person shooter (FPS). Published by Valcon Games, and developed by WXP Games, Xotic is launching on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Xotic, is a unique arcade-style shooter where players rack up high scores by maintaining a chain reaction of points and power-ups – a true stand out amongst shooters.
“Players on both Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 and Windows PC can get their chance to face the minions of the Orb and detonate chain reactions to maximize their score,” said Lyndon Sumner, design director of WXP Games. “We’re excited that our game is now available on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 so more gamers can blast their way through 23 cunning, puzzle-like levels while maximizing their time bonus and collecting powerups, activating point multipliers and discovering hidden secrets.”
In September Xotic launched for Windows PC and players have found it to be an incredible value and totally worth playing. “This is the best $10 I spent this year on games! It is a steal, I feel guilty owning it,” said Xotic Windows PC customer Xandor. “It’s extremely addicting playing the levels over trying to be more efficient each time. With gorgeous colors and interesting animation you feel fully drawn into this alien world.”
Xotic is an exceptionally vibrant arcade-style first-person shooter with unique chain-reaction gameplay and point multiplier mechanics that come together to form a remarkable hybrid. In Xotic players explore a unique bio-diverse environment while aiming to rack up millions of points. Compete for a high score amongst your friends list or even a spot at the top of the global leaderboard. In addition, the game features incredible replay value as each level requires precision, strategy and practice to maximize the point-scoring potential. Like a great arcade shmup or racing game, each level offers nearly infinite opportunity to improve your score with every playthrough.
Players can compare their shooter skills to their friends’ list on the leaderboard. Rack up chain combos by shooting targets like the life-choking Scab plants around each level, picking up Orb Essence, and, of course blasting enemies. Balancing all of these elements while attaining the best time in each level is the key to becoming the top scorer. In their quest to become number one, players also earn experience points they can use to upgrade skills and weapons and to pick up power-ups around each level.
