If you've scrolled through a gaming feed lately, you've probably seen someone yell,"Oh look, another Gorilla Tag clone!"Or maybe:"This is just Lethal Company, but with monkeys!"
Well... not quite.
Sure, Xera Company might look like a mix of both at first glance - but that's where the surface similarities end. Underneath the monkey arms and panic screams lies something much more chaotic, creative, and outright hilarious.
Let's break down what Xera Company truly is - and why it deserves your attention.
What's the Big Idea Behind Xera Company?
At its core, Xera Company is a first-person co-op scavenging game. You and a group of players take on the role of primal, ape-like creatures on a high-risk corporate mission: venture deep into unknown forests and underground cave systems, gather valuable artifacts, and haul them back to your extraction point - all while dodging whatever dark secrets lurk in the shadows.
Sounds simple, right?Well, no. It's absolutely unhinged.
Movement Like No Other
In Xera Company, you don't walk - you swing, climb, leap, and flail. Inspired by physics-based locomotion games like Gorilla Tag, movement is part of the thrill. You'll be:
-
Scrambling up rock walls
-
Vaulting over broken trees
-
Swinging from ropes and branches
-
Desperately diving into tunnels while screaming like a banshee
Mastering movement is essential. It's your weapon, your escape, and your biggest challenge - especially when panic sets in and your teammates start shrieking nonsense into their mics.
Dark Forests, Deeper Secrets
The game world is not just a jungle gym. It's alive, unpredictable, and often terrifying. Missions send you into:
-
Haunted forests filled with unnatural noises and shifting paths
-
Pitch-black caves where you can barely see your own hands
-
Abandoned ruins with lore-rich environmental clues
Each location holds loot - but also danger. You never know when a noise in the distance is just your friend goofing off... or something hunting you.
Teamwork… or Monkey Madness?
Xera Company is all about co-op chaos. Your squad will laugh, scream, and argue while:
-
Planning who grabs what loot
-
Getting lost in the dark
-
Accidentally triggering alarms
-
Dropping all the loot after a surprise jump scare
You'll need communication and coordination. Or at least the ability to yell "RUN!" at the right moment.
Risk Big, Scream Bigger
What makes Xera Company addictive is its risk-reward system. You can always head back early with a small haul - but pushing further into danger offers:
-
Higher-value loot
-
Rare discoveries
-
Unforgettable encounters
But go too far, get too greedy, and your entire team might lose everything. Including their sanity.
A Genre-Bending Experience
So what exactly is Xera Company? It's:
-
A horror-survival-lite experience that thrives on unpredictability
-
A social chaos simulator full of laughter and fear
-
A movement-based exploration game with a tactile, physical feel
-
A living meme generator - perfect for streamers, friend groups, and content creators
It might look silly, but once you're deep in the woods, low on light, and hearing something breathing nearby… it stops being funny real quick.
Is It for You?
If you enjoy:
-
Cooperative games with real tension
-
Hilarious unscripted moments with friends
-
Unusual movement mechanics that take time to master
-
Games like Lethal Company, Phasmophobia, or Gorilla Tag
Then yes - you'll love Xera Company.
But if you're easily scared, easily lost, or don't like being chased while screaming in monkey-voice? Well… maybe sit this one out.
Final Thoughts
Xera Company isn't just a clone. It's a wild evolution of two popular genres - merging physics-based traversal with horror-themed scavenging. It throws you into a world where every mission is unpredictable, every moment is chaotic, and every scream echoes into the night.
It's messy. It's scary. It's hilarious. It's uniquely Xera.
So go ahead - grab your team, swing into the darkness, and find out if you can survive the madness.
