Sangrevores are a new type of enemy race for Nemesis: Retaliation. There is no Queen this time - but a mighty "King", an ancient being awakened from a long slumber. Mining scavengers found a mysterious-looking "capsule" created out of non-human bones stacked together as if multiple beings had created this tomb from their own bodies. It was quickly transported to the closest human base for further investigation. This is how it all started. This expansion introduces a totally new mechanic that can drastically change the semi-co-op experience. During the contact with the King or Blood Spectres, your character might become converted! This can entirely change your secret objective mid-game without other players not being sure about it. With some of the attacks, you will get special infection cards (added next to your special objective face down) that only you can see. Most of the time, they will be neutral - but sometimes, they can transform you into Hemodyne yourself and shift your objective. Contamination cards are changing. Instead of a standard contamination card that will take a slot - you will actually get some unique ability representing your character getting mutated. This will happen only with contact with Crimson Despot or Blood Spectres. Those cards will give a toolset for players to increase negative interactions - only if they wish for it. But combined with the possibility of them being turned, it will add new layers of paranoia to the game. —description from the Gamefound campaign

Contains two additional playable characters for Nemesis: Retaliation: The UAV Operator is responsible for operating and controlling crewless aircraft that perform surveillance, reconnaissance, attack, or support tasks. He is super proficient in the use of hardware and software, as well as in analyzing data and images from the drone. Sharpshooters have been part of military forces for many years, so this is an obvious choice as a new potential squad member. Of course, a close environment is not the perfect place for that type of specialist. However, a soldier with a steady hand and an eagle eye can still be very useful, especially with his beloved sniper rifle. — description from the publisher.

The Xyrians are independent faction that brings a whole 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 view. This is why, during the game with Xyrian, you will be adding their Tokens - but you can never be sure whether this is only an old trace or an actual Xyrian until you step into this room and investigate. Or some random Primeblood may do that for you. They operate independently, creating dynamic scenarios that can shift the tide of your mission. What is more, you will be able to use this new race together with all the other races from Retaliation! Xyrians are the third additional party to the whole situation happening in Retaliation. Sometimes, they might be your unpredicted ally, sometimes your worst enemy. This mysterious, technologically advanced race has its own goals that will create a lot of exciting situations. With the Xyrians in play, exploring the depths of the unknown facility becomes even more intriguing. Each step into the unknown carries new possibilities and dangers. Not that it was easy and predictable before, but with this new breed, it's like the merrier, the more challenging! With this race a series of unique serious wounds are introduced! They will not only deal "standard" damage but also perform unique attacks. Imagine being caught in a Xyrian net, losing precious time as you struggle to free yourself, being poisoned with an unknown substance that makes you weaker for a few rounds, or gaining a special marker that will cause all Xyrians to slowly but consequently hunt your Marine. These events definitely add new challenges and some extra narrative depth to your Retaliation missions. Also, you must be aware that successfully defeating a Xyrian is a rare and challenging feat. But those who manage it are rewarded with exceptionally rare artifacts (i.e., Weapons, Armor, or some precious Items), adding a tantalizing incentive to engage with this new threat. You know the saying – high risk, high reward. They introduce some strategic manipulation to the game! There are possible conflicts between the Xyrians and other alien races, which can be used to your advantage. So, it is likely that the Xyrians will eliminate as many Primebloods as possible. Their goals will be different with every game. They might aim to infiltrate the Nest, target the most wounded player, or try to hunt down the Queen. Generally, each encounter with the Xyrians feels fresh and challenging and will bring some twists to your game! —description from the Gamefound campaign
