Our take on Super Destronaut DX
Score-focused players may bounce off at the leaderboard loop, where progress is measured through higher results rather than a campaign. Anyone uncomfortable with escalating arcade pressure may hit the wall sooner in Time Attack or Hardcore, while local multiplayer requires another player on the same system.
