Critic Reviews for Truxton Extreme
Truxton Extreme is a vertical shooter in the classic mode, in that you've got a powerful ship, three lives, lots of enemies, and endless ways to die.
Truxton Extreme is not only an outstanding shmup, but it also sets a new benchmark for how to bring back cult series of the genre into the current age. Very high marks on graphical effects, sound design, and soundtrack along with spot-on gameplay makes it easy to recommend adding this one to your Switch 2 library as soon as possible. Both veteran shmup players and newcomers alike will find much to enjoy in this package.You also get an outstanding digital graphic novel to go along with your game. Toaplan's legacy is in the good hands of Masahiro Yuge, and if this is the shape of things to come, I couldn't be more excited for future Tatsujin projects.
Truxton Extreme is a hardcore and intense experience that will delight old-school racers and reward the patient. All that's missing now is for someone to get a new Thunder Force and we'll be completely happy.

The graphics and music are pumped up to the max, and the gameplay respects the original and improves upon it, with a few very welcome improvements. The ticket price may be a little steep, but in my opinion, it's well worth the trip in a spaceship!

Truxton Extreme is a celebration of all things I love about Truxton. From Masahiro Yuge’s involvement on the game’s incredible soundtrack to its modern spin on shmups, there’s much to love…assuming you’re up for a good ol’ fashioned shmup challenge.
The return of this classic space shooter franchise shows that it's possible to respect the past without being stuck in it.
