    Habroxia 2 makes me erupt with positive and overly excitable adjectives: entertaining, fun, delightful, near-perfect. I could go on, and I will: fast, frenetic, fluid, confident. This is a game that demands the attention of any fan of 2D retro shooters and offers a seismic improvement over the original. You'll be hooked from beginning to end.

    An accessible and innovative shoot-‘em-up, Habroxia 2 does more than enough to stand out in a crowded genre. While it hasn’t turned the genre on its head and lacks leader boards, the combination of auto scrolling shmup, twin-stick shooter controls and RPG-lite elements make for a refreshing and exciting game.

    Retro-styled shoot 'em up Habroxia 2 makes for an entertaining experience even if it doesn't rise above others in the genre.

    Habroxia 2 knows it’s not reinventing the wheel, but it settles for a fulfilling campaign that will hold your attention from beginning through New Game Plus. With a rewarding upgrade system and sturdy presentation, this is gaming comfort food for those who grew up in the arcade era, and it comes recommended if you’re looking for an old-school shooter to blast through in a few sittings.

    Habroxia 2 is a modern gamer's idea of what retro shoot 'em ups were like but it's far removed from what made the genre special.

    Very old school side-scrolling shooter with plenty of power ups and a novel twin-stick weapon system that actually feels like a 90's shmupVery old school side-scrolling shooter with plenty of power ups and a novel twin-stick weapon system that actually feels like a 90's shmup rather than a modern copy. Not quite as good as Steredenn, but fans of the genre will lap it up.… Full Review »

It is a charming game made by a small studio. It is clear a lot of care went in to the creation of this game. If you have played games with twin stick controls in the past, you will find the game is not overly difficult. This is mainly due to a robust upgrade system. For those looking at trophy lists. This game has a farily easy platinum trophy!… Full Review »
