Description
"In XenoShyft, you and up to three friends take on the role of different NorTec Military Divisions — The Science Labs, Med Bay, Armory, Weapon’s Research, Barracks, and Command Center — that make up the NorTec base. Equipped with special abilities unique to each Division, players must protect the base against waves of the relentless Hive while field operations are completed on the planet. Everyone must work together to ensure NorTec’s operations remain safe or everyone will perish.
The XenoShyft app features full internet multiplayer, so you and your friends can battle the Hive from anywhere! And an easy to follow, quick tutorial is included to get you in the game as fast as possible. Expansions are available through in-app purchases.

Quotes (from this video)
- hi everybody welcome to watch it played
- my name is Rodney Smith and this is Luke Smith
- in this episode we're gonna start our playthrough of eggs in ocean Xeno shift the X is silent even though it's there
- Oh aliens are coming
- we're going to show you close-ups of each of these cards you can read their effects look how much Xena saved them
- all right well do you deploy anything else you can deploy I a booster injection in hand but it's an instant right so that will come out during the gameplay possibly
- so we have to deal for aliens from wave one into each of the lanes and then we have to fight them
- the drone is going to be able to kill Luke's troop right yes because gonna do two damage that will knock you out but you won't kill us no right because two damage is gonna be reduced by one it has to health so I'm going to use my hope juice okay so this is the booster injection
- this is actually this is actually bad
- ate Daniel oh we doubled the total damage that was done to our base compared to the last round we do that every single time if we do that every single time this is gonna be a very short series
- you the Alpha gamer problem
- and you can rearrange the troops in the lane so even though I already have some here you can move them around and decide how you want them to be
- if you like what someone suggests give them a thumbs up if you don't like the suggestion propose your own idea maybe someone will vote for that
