What Xenoraid is
Xenoraid is an arcade game developed by 10tons and released in 2016. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Custom built engine.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Xenoraid is set in near future, where an alien fleet of limited size is detected closing in on Earth. Attempts to communicate with the incoming vessels fail, and as purpose built starfighters don't yet exist, available spacecrafts are weaponized and turned into first generation starfighters. Plenty of hot shoot'em up action ensues.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1 Ghz, 2048 MB RAM and Version 8.1. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today.
What it launched against
Xenoraid launched on 30 September 2016, within three weeks of Persona 5, Battlefield 1, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and Sid Meier's Civilization VI. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Persona 5, Battlefield 1, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, Sid Meier's Civilization VI.
