Some of the endbosses can kill you in literally 4 seconds. For action game fans, this is pretty normal, but if you're coming into this game from Pokémon, I can see how this would be a weeeee bit of a culture shock. This is a bit of a problem because Xander has an intricate, funny storyline that non-masochists might still want to enjoy. So to alleviate this problem- there is now an easy mode you can select when starting a new game.Ver.1.9 + Mobile Release!Sep 4, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsXander is marked for release on Google Play!
