    For those that don’t mind a bare-bones package, FixEight and its run-and-gun action is a bona fide arcade hit that is well worth the attention of any classic gamer.

    Fixeight is the only non shmup in this collection from Bitwave Games. The 1992-released vertical run and gun game from Toaplan had never been brought to any console or modern platform until this new release, and it has been very interesting to play as a fan of Out Zone from a prior collection. I liked that quite a bit, and Fixeight has been a noticeable improvement in many parts. It isn’t essential if you only care about Toaplan’s shmups, but I’m glad it was finally released on PC. It also plays without issues on Steam Deck.

    Fixeight may not be as good as its predecessor, but it’s still a fun run-and-gun game in its own right. The main action still feels fantastic, and some of the boss battles are truly thrilling. If Toaplan had focused on what worked best here, we might have even gotten a must-play title. Instead, Fixeight is worth checking out for players who enjoyed Out Zone or are picking up these games in a bundle.
