Is Super XYX worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Arcade-shmup fans who want a game styled after early-nineties shoot ’em ups
- Shoot ’em up players who enjoy trying characters with different weapons
- Players who prefer a stage-based shooter with bosses and unlockable modes
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a long campaign may find six stages limited in scope.
- Players seeking a gradual, story-led pace may find the focus on shooting through enemy groups and bosses too direct.
Our take on Super XYX
The character count sounds broader than the initial selection: four of the six fighters are locked at first. Difficulty settings are available, but the route to them is tucked inside the pad and keyboard settings menu.
What is Super XYX?
Super XYX is a shoot ’em up set in the year 3999, where an ancient force called the Black Serpent threatens the galaxy.
Six characters fight it for their own reasons; four characters are unlockable, and each has distinct shots and bombs. The game has six stages with bosses and groups of enemies, plus unlockable characters and game modes. Its soundtrack uses the YM2151 sound chip, and the game draws on arcade shoot ’em ups from the early nineties. Difficulty and other settings can be found under Options, then Pad/Keyboard Settings, then More Options.
