Habroxia 2 takes my love for old school arcade shooters and gives it a fresh, modern spin. It can be difficult early on, but I always felt I was making some progress thanks to the upgrade systems. Having a full 360 degree of attack movement is a breath of fresh air, as it being able to equip a couple of special attacks to help out. The 16-bit visuals are great (as is the soundtrack), the gameplay feel is spot on, and it doesn’t over stay its welcome at all.Become a Patron!

Where Habroxia tried and failed previously, Habroxia 2 excels. The game has made just the right decisions to turn itself into the top-tier retro-styled SHMUP that it’s predecessor had aimed to be. Not everything hits the mark with some early difficulty/finance balancing issues, some cool, but recycled sprites, and a relative lack of end-game activities to engage with, but overall, Habroxia 2 is well designed twin-stick SHMUP that is well worth trying out. Habroxia 2 was provided to Player 2 courtesy of a PS4/Vita code from LambSmith PR on behalf of the developer.

An accessible and innovative shoot-‘em-up, Habroxia 2 does more than enough to stand out in a crowded genre. While it hasn’t turned the genre on its head and lacks leader boards, the combination of auto scrolling shmup, twin-stick shooter controls and RPG-lite elements make for a refreshing and exciting game. Habroxia 2 is launching on PS4 (review platform), PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC/Steam on February 3rd, 2021.

There have been some classic Shoot-’em-up games published, and Habroxia 2 is up there as one of the best. Every element works, with its classic graphics, thumping audio, simple controls and excessive replay value. This will keep you playing for hours. A stunning example of a Shmup that will have you screaming with rage and crying for joy! Every developer should look at this as the blueprint of what makes the genre great. I absolutely recommend this, so buy your copy here! Can Sabrina avenge her father’s disappearance? Jump in your ship, upgrade its equipment, and destroy every alien you see.

Overall, while Habroxia 2 doesn’t do a whole lot to stand out from other shoot ‘em ups it is a solid new choice in the genre. The levels switching between horizontal and vertical help keep you on your toes and a variety of upgrades for your ship will have you testing different loadouts out across the main game, New Game+, and the other modes on offer. If you’re looking for an enjoyable and affordable new shmup for your catalog then Habroxia 2 is a great choice. *Habroxia 2 is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Worth Playing

At the very least, Habroxia 2 is a very solid shoot-'em-up thanks to the number of elements that it manages to mash together quite well. The merger of bullet hell and twin-stick shooter in this kind of environment feels distinct, and there's some good depth to the shooting mechanics due to the options at your disposal. The branching pathways give the campaign some legs, since you have some incentive to uncover all of the pathways, and the new modes feel like more significant reasons to keep playing after the campaign is done. For shooter fans, Habroxia 2 is a great game to play and a good turnaround from the team's first efforts.
