XENO RANGERS | 9000 Legends

ABOUT

Dig too deep, they said. What could possibly go wrong?

Venture into our hollow earth — part platformer, part defense game, part bad idea.

Build a base, fend off uninvited guests, and uncover ancient secrets you were absolutely not meant to find.

Go solo or team up for classic couch-co-op chaos — the kind where you and your friends yell “I told you not to press that button!” right before everything explodes.

Gameplay

Xeno Rangers combines real time strategy, tower defense and action platforming gameplay.

Build your Base

Each level is scattered with mysterious red crystals — or, as we call them, “conveniently pre-approved construction zones.”

Use them to place buildings, turrets, or whatever contraption you think will stop the incoming horde. Choose wisely — build spots are limited, and enemy attack paths have been described by experts as “unpredictable” and “mildly rude.”

Harvest Resources

Turns out, simply obliterating your enemies doesn’t pay the bills. To gather resources, you’ll need to roam the map in search of chests stuffed with random goodies.

You’ll also find blue crystals scattered about — harvest them for funds, upgrades, and the comforting illusion of economic stability.

Defend your Base

Your base is more than a pile of turrets — it’s your lifeline. Spend your hard-earned loot on new weapons, gadgets, and upgrades, then mix firepower with fortifications to hold the line.

Survive the waves, protect your HQ, and try not to look too surprised when it actually works.

Story

The tragedy of Dr Calvin Murphy

In 1955, Dr. Calvin Murphy embarked on his life’s work: using experimental particle beams to materialize the dead from their lingering atomic leftovers.
Because, naturally, that seemed like a good idea at the time.

After years of questionable science and even more questionable ethics, Murphy perfected his device and spent the next decade scouring the globe for “particle residue” from long-departed heroes he wished to resurrect.

The results were… mixed. His subjects returned, yes — but tethered eternally to his machinery and perhaps regretting the invitation. Still, four legendary figures now served him loyally enough.

Then disaster struck. The machine built to cheat death rewarded its creator with a generous dose of lethal radiation. Unable to resurrect himself (a small oversight), Dr. Murphy did the next best thing: uploaded his consciousness into an experimental computer.

Years passed. Circuits hummed. And at last, Calvin Murphy was back online — slightly more digital, equally unhinged, and determined to finish what he started.

Short on funds but never on ambition, he turned to mercenary work — his latest contract leading him, and his resurrected entourage, straight into the depths of the infamous Hollow Earth.

Because if history has taught us anything, it’s that digging deeper always makes things better.

Meet the Team

The revived historical figures Dr Calvin Murphy managed to resurrect, are the core of the Xeno Rangers, and serve as playable characters in the game...

'Snake' - Leroy Picket

Born in 1854 in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, Leroy “Snake” Picket earned his name and reputation the traditional way — through excessive charm, creative lawbreaking, and a general refusal to stay caught.
As leader of the infamous Picket Posse, he robbed trains, banks, and occasionally the same place twice (just to prove a point). His legend grew with every narrow escape and flamboyant gunfight, until his mysterious disappearance in 1889 left historians debating whether he’d retired, vanished, or simply robbed the concept of existence itself.

'Bonzo' - Igor Volkov

Once upon a Cold War, Igor Volkov, a Soviet cosmonaut, perished heroically during a daring mission to Uranus — a sentence no one has ever said with a straight face.
At roughly the same time, an experimental spacecraft carrying a monkey named Bonzo met a similarly explosive fate in the upper atmosphere.
When Dr. Calvin Murphy’s particle machine went sniffing through the cosmic leftovers, it accidentally fused the two together, producing one confused hybrid: part man, part monkey, all mistake.

Pierre Courtois

Officially remembered as the Lion of Loire, Pierre Courtois was in reality more of a very loud housecat. Overweight, perpetually out of breath, and spectacularly bad at combat, he somehow took credit for defending his town during the Hundred Years’ War — largely by hiding behind braver soldiers and shouting strategic advice such as “retreat!” and “someone stop that horse!”
Despite the chaos, he became a national hero — proof that with enough confidence (and a good tailor), history will remember you fondly anyway.

'Nanny' - Karin Wood

By day, Karin Wood was the perfect Victorian caretaker — polite, punctual, and disturbingly good with cutlery. By night, she became “Nanny”, a serial killer whose idea of bedtime stories involved actual body counts.
Her reign of terror ended at the gallows, though not before terrifying half of London’s upper class into hiring dogs instead of governesses. When Dr. Calvin Murphy’s machine went rummaging through history’s leftovers, it latched onto her residue — and, unfortunately, her personality file too.
