\"\"<\/a>Last year I reviewed Soldner X<\/strong><\/a>, a 2D horizontally scrolling shooter.\u00a0 And now here\u2019s the sequel.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch and PS4, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

Controls are pretty simple.\u00a0 Just move with the control stick and press the button to fire.\u00a0 You can select different difficulty levels and play single or two player co-op.\u00a0 Press the shoulder button to switch between different weapons, like a straight shot or a spreader.\u00a0 The third option will change depending on what power-up you get, like a electric homing shot, wave beam, or mines.\u00a0 You can collect power-ups that\u2019ll speed you up, give you points, have other ships flank you for more firepower, etc.\u00a0 As you play different difficulty modes, you can unlock new stages, gallery artwork, and challenge modes like Survivor.\u00a0 When you get hit, you\u2019ll lose some of your energy.\u00a0 And when it\u2019s all gone, you\u2019ll lose a life.\u00a0 Lose all lives and it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 My only big problem is that the power-ups look a lot like the bullets, just big round flashy orbs.\u00a0 But otherwise, this is just a decent shooter that does what it sets out to do.<\/p>\n

Soldner X-2 is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You shoot spaceships that explode and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary just to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
