Description: Xion revives the arcade and shoot ’em ups of the 1990’s in a refreshing and unique way with a fully destructible voxel landscape setting and your very own spaceship that you design and upgrade in an infinite number of ways.
Review: Xion is a voxel style shooter ’em up in which you will be flying through a slow-moving landscape and taking down anything that seems to be shooting at you. You will notice from the off that the graphics here are not great and the draw distance is not very far at all. You will also need quite a large play area as you need to duck and move left and right to get through the scenery. The good news is there is some depth of gameplay here and you even get to build your own ship at the start of each level. I’m just not sure this game is worth £7.19, but I would pay at least half of that and know I was getting good value for money.
