    X-Type+ is a wonderfully simple idea tweaked and tuned into a damn fine little game, with an underlying depth and replay value that will keep seasoned shooter aficionados coming back for more. It also serves as a nice entry-level bullet hell affair before you start investigating the more exotic wares further afield.

    XType Plus is the essence of the Wii U eShop's potential for quick, cheap and accessible games, wrapped up in a tightly controlled and satisfying game with endless potential for replayability.

    Xtype Plus is a bullet hell shooter in the true sense of the word. A hell of spaceships and shots, addictive and tough, just like old school shooters are expected to be.

    XType Plus is a fun, cheap shoot 'em up that will both challenge and excite players.

    It'll scratch the shoot 'em up itch for fans of the genre with a no-frills approach that concentrates on core game mechanics over bells and whistles, and for newbies, XType Plus is more inviting than many other shmup titles.

    Xtype Plus would benefit from more solutions, options and game modes.

    The game plays perfectly fine, but it just shouldn't have been made this way.

    A kind of crimsonland-wannabe game (but this time in open space). Gameplay is high-speed, the enemy is tougher with every new level.

But there are no power-ups at all, so replays become a bit boring.… Full Review »

El juego ofrece excelente diversión para cuando se tiene insomnio o simplemente te quieres relajar destruyendo naves (la dificultad es dura, pero no deja de ser disfrutable, incluso es divertido porque siempre desearás superar tu nivel anterior).

    El gran defecto: carece de distintos escenarios y debería tener un soundtrack mucho más amplio.    … Full Review »

I appreciated it more on a big screen, which seemed to make the bullet-hell maneuvering more precise. Difficulty spikes hard after the first 10 levels or so, as if it was designed primarily for short mobile sessions. Can get quickly frustrating, and hard to tell if you'd get better at it, or whether success is rather random.… Full Review »
