Our take on The Thing: Space X
Its defining structure is a sector-clearing run: combat moves through enemy-filled subsectors before reaching a final confrontation with the Thing.
What is The Thing: Space X?
The Thing: Space X is a space shooter in which the player pilots a combat spacecraft through a hostile sector.
The sector is divided into multiple subsectors filled with enemy fighters. The objective is to clear these areas and eliminate the main threat, a leader known as the Thing. The game offers a dozen spacecraft equipped with beam weapons, machine guns, and missiles. Its structure follows a straightforward sequence of combat encounters across the sector, leading to a final confrontation with the Thing.
