Is Xexyz still worth playing in 2026?
A hybrid action adventure from Hudson Soft, Xexyz boldly alternates platform levels in fantasy worlds and scrolling shooter phases aboard a ship, in a structure that also blends exploration, shops and characters to meet. This variety of genres and the world mixing science fiction and fairy tale bring a singular charm and a real generosity. The colourful presentation and the sustained pace appeal. For a fan of original retro action or someone curious about the NES's hybrid gems, the title keeps a remarkable inventiveness and cachet.
