Is XDR - X-Dazedly-Ray still worth playing in 2026?
A vertical shoot-em-up from NMK, XDR X-Dazedly-Ray sends a ship against waves of enemies across snappy levels, with a weapon system and a sustained pace typical of the genre on the machine. The shooting and readability stay effective, without real originality against the era's other shmups. The presentation stays decent and the difficulty tough. A curiosity for fans of retro vertical shooting and explorers of the lesser-known Japanese shmup catalog on the Mega Drive.
