Non-Scrolling Single-Screen Combat


Combat takes place on a single screen, and players fight against aliens while freely moving around the screen. As the combat becomes more intense on the screen, the sense of speed and presence increases.

Flashy Support Attacks with Armaments


In addition to the weapons that the player is equipped with, there are armaments that provide support attacks. By installing multiple armaments, the attacks against the aliens become more flashy. Different attacks are possible depending on the type and performance of the armaments, and the scene of explosions, lasers, missiles, etc. flying all over the screen is characteristic.

There are also elements that allow you to sweep the enemies in a satisfying way by raising your own ability values and weapon ability values. This allows you to enjoy more efficient and smooth gameplay.

Beautiful 3D Graphics


The graphics, which are finely crafted down to the details such as background with depth, lighting, and effects, have become beautiful and powerful visuals.

XALADIA is the first self-published release from the developers of Tenchu, Way of the Samurai, AKIBA’S TRIP, and the Octopath Traveler series.
