Xenophage is an unusual fighting game, with a more original storyline than most representatives of its genre: A bored alien race amuses themselves by forcing other species to fight in a series of bloody arena battles for their breeding rights.
The characters are probably the most unusual and varied set in all of fighting game history. The boss characters are standard fare, but fun to play as, and the secret character is really amusing to beat up. A rather unique feature is the ability to customize your character’s statistics to your own preferences. There are very few special moves, but the game makes up for this by offering a lot of combos. I recommend that you spend some time in the training mode, as some of the characters’ moves may take a bit of practice to execute. There are two modes to play in: the (typical) Story Mode and the Free-Play Mode. In the Free-Play mode, you can fight against another player or a computer-controlled opponent, and combos and special moves can be toggled on and off. I found the lack of an option to disable the time limit during the fights rather annoying.
The graphics look good, with both the fighters and the arenas looking suitably alien and unusual. The only problem I noticed is that when the fighters are far apart from each other, and one of them uses a throw, you can tell that their shadows are painted on rather than connected as they should be.
Altogether, I found Xenophage: Alien BloodSport to be a highly enjoyable fighting game.
