The Xyrians are an independent faction in Nemesis: Retaliation that bring a new dimension to your gameplay, blending unpredictability with strategic depth. Xyrians are creatures that resemble octopuses, and they have an advanced blending technology that lets them hide in plain sight. During the game with Xyrians, you will be adding their Tokens to rooms - but you can never be sure whether this is only an old trace or an actual Xyrian until you step into the room and investigate. Xyrians operate independently, creating dynamic scenarios that can shift the tide of your mission. Sometimes, they might be your unpredicted ally, sometimes your worst enemy.
This mysterious, technologically advanced race has its own goals that will create exciting situations. In addition, this new race introduces a series of unique serious wounds! They will not only deal "standard" damage but also perform unique attacks. These events add new challenges and some extra narrative depth to your Retaliation missions. Those who successfully manage to defeat a Xyrian are rewarded with exceptionally rare artifacts (i.e., Weapons, Armor, or some precious Items), adding a tantalizing incentive to engage with this new threat. And finally, there are possible conflicts between the Xyrians and other alien races, which can be used to your advantage. Each encounter with the Xyrians will feel fresh, presenting challenges and twists to your game!
