Retro Sumus has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding Xenocider, an on-rails 3D shooter which takes inspiration from the likes of Galaxy Force and Sin & Punishment. If successful, the project will be made for a number of platforms such as 3DS.

Xenocider needs $92,000 to reach its goal. With four weeks remaining, a little over $16,000 has been raised thus far. A Wii U stretch goal also awaits at $170,000.

Take a look at Xenocider’s pitch video below. You can visit the Kickstarter page here.
