Xsyon Readies For Launch, Tests Ranged Combat

Long awaited update.

Xsyon is getting one step closer to a full launch. Developer Notorious Games announced this week that ranged combat is being tested for implementation. The long awaited feature is the the last required to remove the early access label from Xsyon after all these years.

Players are invited to take part in testing ranged combat. To sweeten the deal, Xsyon is 67% off until May 3. The game has been in early access since 2014 and has maintained a small but dedicated community.

For testing only, you will have schemes for all bows automatically in your Weaponcraft craft menu. Once you equip a bow you can attack with either the right or left mouse button. Crosshairs during combat show what you are aiming at. Arrows are affected by gravity so you will have to aim high at distant targets.

Disclosure: I was briefly a GM in Xsyon in 2014. The position was volunteer and Notorious Games has not contacted me in several years.
