Image: MobyGames

Xenon 2: Megablast


Genre: shooter - vertical

Publisher: Virgin

Year: 1992

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

I'm being very generous here. Horrible FPS, terrible hit detection, and slow firing rate makes it hard to hit anything. Your ship has an enormous hitbox. Slow movement.


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

You can softlock on this game by choosing the wrong path. Getting stuck doesn't kill you like other shooters but instead stops the scrolling. So you can literally get stuck without any way to die or start over. Who designed this? Besides that, stages are a boring slog. Enemy waves are easier to avoid than engage. They're long and generally loop all the way around the screen.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Zero presentation. Lame cave environment. No music gives off no vibe.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Grey, purple and brown


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

No music! None!


Overall Score: 13

Review ID: 6848
