We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-adventure players who want exploration tied to equipment and artifacts
- Players who enjoy directional shooting and boss encounters rather than passive exploration
- Replay-focused players willing to finish the main game before accessing randomized play
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly linear campaign may find the interconnected world and hidden routes less suitable
- Players wanting randomized runs from the start will need to complete the game before using that mode
- Players looking specifically for multiplayer combat may prefer a game built around cooperative or competitive play
Our take on Zexion
The presentation emphasizes a large world, upgrades, secrets, and a randomizer, but the randomizer is locked until the game is completed. That makes the replay-focused feature a post-completion addition rather than part of the initial play experience.
What is Zexion?
Play as Natu, a space warrior traveling to Cypher-X72 to find Zexion and save the home world Orinth.
Exploration takes place across an interconnected world filled with weapons, equipment, artifacts, enemies, secrets, and hidden paths. The Force Blaster fires bullets in a spread, pushes blocks, and knocks enemies back, while the Gravity Harness allows short-distance flight. These items open routes farther into the planet. Combat supports shooting in eight directions independently of movement. Galactic warlords, space pirates, and bosses stand between Natu and the forbidden technology. A built-in randomizer adds another play mode, but it becomes available only after completing the game.
