FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Italy - July 3, 2026 - Independent developer Catoio Software announced the official Demo release on Steam for XENOFLEKT!
XENOFLEKT is an intense roguelite space arena shooter where traditional survival rules are turned upside down: players must actively dash into the heart of incoming bullet hell to parry and deflect shots. In this high-risk, high-reward cosmic battleground, deflecting enemy projectiles is the only way to heal your ship’s hull while triggering devastating counter-attacks.
Get a first try of XENOFLEKT in the Steam Demo!
What’s in the Demo
The demo includes the first sector of the full game. Players can expect:
- Bullet-Parry Combat: turn a death sentence into your arsenal. Dashing directly into enemy fire repairs your hull and converts projectiles into lethal counter-strikes.
- Deep Customization: tailor your playstyle with three layers of depth. The Demo features different ships, weapons, and satellites - choose your starting Ship hull, equip a main Weapon, and strategically plug in Satellites during your run.
- Escalating Challenge: face an increasing onslaught of enemy waves, culminating in a brutal sector final boss.
Hours of playtime await - with endless replayability if you love experimenting with builds!
