Is Xenon 2 - Megablast still worth playing in 2026?
A Bitmap Brothers shoot-em-up, Xenon 2 Megablast sends a ship back through time across dense levels, with a between-stages shop to upgrade your weaponry, and a soundtrack that became cult. The singular metallic aesthetic and the ability to customize your ship keep character, but a slow scroll and heavy piloting divide. The style stays its great asset. A curiosity for fans of retro shooting with strong identity and Bitmap Brothers nostalgics.
