  • Summary: **** On sale now through August 16!! ****
    NEW! Support added for 2nd generation devices!

    Welcome to Silica Flats. A wasteland ripe for exploration. That is, if you manage to stay alive long enough.
    The land looks different from what you remember, but that's bound to happen to anyone who    's been in cryo-stasis for the last 250 years. You've been reactivated during the advent of the Union-Prime war and both factions want your allegiance. More importantly, either faction would rather see you back on ice (in one way or another) than to be aligned with their enemy. Welcome to your first immersion into the Xenome Universe. A 3D Action/Adventure RPG that will have you struggling for survival as you unravel the mystery of who you are and what your purpose is.                                  ------------------------------------------------------------------- “Xenome, Episode 1 has the right stuff when it comes to role-playing” - Pocket Gamer 7/10 “With a rich storyline, about a dozen hours of gameplay, and a true feeling of freedom, there isn’t much not to like about this game. In fact, if this trend keeps up, the “iPhone’s WoW” may be coming sooner than we think. In other words, do yourself a favor and go buy Xenome now.” - SlideToPlay 4/4 “It's clear Nine Pound Studios spent a lot of time on the artwork, music, sounds and in-game graphics because they're as good as anything I've experienced in mobile gaming.” - TUAW "It begs the question of how you can manage to follow up after something this epic?" - Appspy "One of the most robust games in the App Store." - NoDPad "An excellent adventure with an engaging storyline... [that] managed to take gaming on the platform an immense step further than anyone else" - Gamezebo                                ------------------------------------------------------------------- FULLY IMMERSIVE Open 3D environment using cutting edge technology, ready to be explored. INTENSE GAMEPLAY Realtime combat and powerful abilities. Gain new skills as you level, and steal XNA (alien DNA) to take on new passive and active abilities of native creatures. ENORMOUS GAME WORLD Over 5 square miles of seamless, immersive territory teeming with mutated creatures, dangerous aberrations of nature, and other hostiles. GAIN EXPERIENCE Get powerful new items, skills and wealth while performing missions and killing monsters. CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHARACTER Choose from over 35 skills and abilities and build up your stats with over 500 items that best suit your play style. INTUITIVE INTERFACE Stylized, duel-stick control system, drop down map, quest and stats panes, tap to target, and customizable skill interface. AN ENGAGING STORYLINE Over 10 hours of deep plot lines to unravel as you make your way through the wastelands. LOADED WITH SECRETS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS Enough creatures, missions and areas to keep you playing long after the main plot has unfolded. Please note - If you are experiencing crashing, you may need to close other background apps in iOS 4.0… Expand

    The first installment of Xenome is the most engaging open-world game to hit the App Store yet.

    Despite repetitive missions and performance issues, Xenome, Episode 1 has the right stuff when it comes to role-playing.

    With some more effort and inventiveness, Xenome Episode 1 could have been a great game. I hope that future chapters bear out the promise of its premise and its technical charms. For now, I can only give it a tepid recommendation, as its impressive graphics and expansive environment are dampened by a dull, plodding play experience.

    I look forward to Xenome Episode 2, and hopefully Nine Pound Studios will hire someone to create interesting missions tying up the story.
