Slave Zero X

You're going to have fun the first few hours, but it gets to the point where there are so many enemies you're having zero fun. Getting upgrades is a chore, so most of the late game is going to be you being pummeled until you've saved enough. I like difficult games, but this isn't difficult, it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

godawful enemy design, gameplay is repetitive, armored enemies filling the screen with active hitboxes for a full second in a game with no defensive options outside of a dodge is the choice of all time. every genetic failure who worked on this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ should be permanently banned from game design, I hope they rot alone in a nursing home and spend the end of their lives alone, scared, and full of regret

Gold burst me cro... honourable mention for getting chain grabbed to death

The performance is ass

Slave Zero X is a very tough game but its very rewarding in return. The OST is amazing, the art is amazing, the story is pretty good. Overall I would recommend the game, just be prepared for arcade style difficulty.

It would've been the coolest game ever made if the developers had brains.

A challenging and deep experience. On the surface, the game seems clunky. Unfairly so at times. The beauty lies in mastering the rhythm of combat. Majority of your actions can be dash cancelled, and the varied moveset allows for very creative juggles and combo setups. It's extremely rewarding to wipe out waves of enemies when you learn the right way to dispatch them. The party system is a bit difficult to get the hang of, but that's the story with most things in this game. Story wise, I enjoyed the themes and relationships that developed over the course off my time with Shou, X and Ayesha. There was some great voice acting as well. Graphics were awesome, and there are multiple skins and filters you can unlock. At times I would put the game down after some frustrating periods. But eventually I'd come back and surmount the obstacles and have a smile while doing it. If you enjoy difficult gaming experiences and mastering movesets, give this game a try. It can be unforgiving, but overall it was a good time.
