Slave Zero X Reviews
Learning how to play Slave Zero X effectively will take a while but once you get over that hump, it provides some of the most satisfying 2D action gameplay out there. In other words, I'm very happy that they brought this IP back and look forward to Slave Zero X2.
Slave Zero X is probably an even more niche title than the first chapter. It’s a tough and gritty game, with several flaws, but it can still be appreciated by purists of action games. Only them and no one else, because only those skilled with this type of game will be able to dig deep and fully enjoy the title.

The character designs are nicely detailed, even with the slightly pixelated look, and as players wreak havoc onscreen, the animations are smooth and action-packed. The way Shou is animated makes him look like he was taken straight from a fighting game, and he would perfectly fit into a classic Marvel vs Capcom or Guilty Gear game.
Slave Zero X is a decent fast-paced action game experience with a surprisingly good story. However, its overall repetitiveness and lack of interesting boss fights drags it down quite a bit.
Slave Zero X is a game that will depend a lot on the player's taste, and that's okay. For those who want to be challenged to achieve amazing rankings and combos using everything the combat system offers, you will have a satisfying feast for the few hours of the main mode. For those who just want a no-fuss beat 'em up, it's best to look for something different.

a unique and engaging gaming experience that absolutely shreds and I just kept coming back for more!
Slave Zero X is a fantastic character action game that's rewarding, challenging, and has clear focus. Its deep combat mechanics, paired with an excellent biopunk presentation, elevate it above many similar releases while offering a fairly replayable campaign. It's brought down by a lack of movelist section in-game or in practice, and some gameplay quirks keep it from reaching the heights of the titans in the genre.
Incredibly stylish, beautifully violent, wonderfully voice-acted, surprisingly emotional and incredibly enjoyable: Slave Zero X is an absolute indie powerhouse.
Slave Zero X will get frustrating, but as we have learned over the years: sometimes a tough experience can yield the greatest rewards.
Slave Zero X not only allows the cult classic to experience a revival but it also pays homage to the dystopian anime’s that served as its inspiration.
