Defunct Games reviews Super Destronaut DX-2 by Petite Games, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Switch.
Super Destronaut DX-2 is the Space Invaders Extreme sequel we've all been waiting for. While it may come with a different name and the aliens look a little odd, this is the closest we've come to getting a sequel to one of Taito's shooters in more than a decade. Sure, it's derivative and lacks its own personality, but Petite Games' newest release gets the shoot 'em up fundamentals rights and is, most importantly, fun to play. What's more, it's cheap. With a five-dollar asking price and a nice variety of challenges to complete, Super Destronaut DX-2 is easy to recommend. Even if it is just the cover band version of Space Invaders extreme.
