Retro Sumus is a small development team located in Spain.

We are professionals in different fields who got together to revisit genres and concepts we felt were underused, or not explored in depth back in their time.

This may include old-school arcade shooting action, tech gimmicks from the 16-bit era, or an updated, western take on a typically japanese genre, like the visual novel adventures…

Because, really, why not?

We launched Xenocider for Dreamcast in january 2021, after 5 years of on-and-off development, mainly due to our “real” life and jobs getting in the way. We initially tried funding the game via Kickstarter but cancelled the campaign when it was obvious to us it would not succeed by the planned deadline.

However, we decided to keep at it anyway!

Our next project is Sovietborgs, a top-don run-n-gun set in a post-apocalyptic world where the USSR won the cold war. In order to avoid taking forever to develop it, we’re trying Kickstarter again.

Sovietborgs is in development for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Dreamcast, and Neo Geo.

We still have another game project waiting, in the dark! 🙂

Xenocider is available as a digital download from our store. Physical copies can be purchased from a series of retailers.
