Description

Xenon II: Megablast on the Sega Master System retools the Bitmap Brothers’ cult vertical shooter for 8-bit hardware, keeping the chunky style and ruthless pacing intact. Pilot your craft through layered alien caverns and starfields, harvesting pickups and cash to spend in the in-stage shop. Upgrades stack—twin lasers, side-shots, rear fire, speed boosts, shields—letting you tailor a build for each gauntlet of enemies and screen-filling bosses. Smart positioning matters: waves arrive in tight patterns, debris litters lanes, and heavy weapons come with trade-offs in speed and hitbox comfort. The biomechanical art direction and booming effects deliver a gritty sci-fi mood, while secrets and weapon downgrades punish sloppy play. It’s a demanding, arcade-faithful shooter with satisfying progression and that unmistakable Megablast attitude—perfect for fans chasing clears and score routes on the Master System.
