    This game feels like a classic Gameboy game and I enjoyed playing it. It reminds of Metroid 2 in particular. There was clearly a lot of effort put into the level design and I liked how they structured the overworld. I do think there is room for improvement mostly with the bosses. The weapon upgrading systems was also interesting but I felt that some upgrades didn't actually impact yourThis game feels like a classic Gameboy game and I enjoyed playing it.

The weapon upgrading systems was also interesting but I felt that some upgrades didn't actually impact your weapon or were just pointless.

    I 100%ed this game and enjoyed playing it from beginning to end.    … Expand

    I love this game.... I bought it because it looked like a retro game and oh boy it is. The game while a little short is very difficult and fun. I could see myself trying to beat this game twice. The only problem I have with it is that the bosses need more designs and more attacks.

    Xeodrifter certainly won’t be for everyone. The title harkens back to the days of 8-Bit gaming in not only its graphics, but also its approach to difficulty. The challenge is certainly steep, but the accompanying sense of accomplishment should please many old school purists.

    Overall, Xeodrifter is a blast. It’s a simple game that is held up by its unique upgrades, great music, and brilliantly crafted exploration-based gameplay. If you’ve got an extra $10 lying around, I highly recommend Atooi’s latest Switch release.

    There are some neat ideas in Xeodrifter, but they never come together to make a coherent whole.
