r0x Extended Play, your uber tough arcade shooter that has you blasting meteors and enemy ships while it blasts you with some pretty sweet beats. You play as Commander Perez who just woke up from cryogenic stasis to find himself and his rather fragile ship on the verge of entering a massive meteor storm.

r0x Extended Play is a revisited and enhanced version of the 2009 original, r0x. The EP version comes to deliver an authentic arcade game with well polished features and mechanics. When it comes to the latter, one in particular stands out.

r0x Extended Play is unfair right from the start when it gives you very little ammo to work with and zounds of enemies that come your way. Ammo can be collected from floating poweups but the best way to get it is to graze or grind enemies and meteors. Well, how about that? It’s one of the best risk/reward implementations that you can have in a game of this sort.

In the true nature of arcade games, this one is impossible to beat. A few minutes in, it will have you grinding your teeth to help with focus and prayer of getting that first place score.

r0x EP is loads of fun played in your own, but add a few controllers and that’s when things get serious. Multiplayer mode comes at the players with nine objective based missions and supports up to four people at a time.

Limited ammo, infinite destroyable meteors and eight types of ships, floating astronauts to collect for bonus points and a wicked collection of beat driven tracks to keep you on your toes, all brought together into one wonderful blend.

To sum things up, r0x Extended Play is tough but with a well balanced risk-reward system, gameplay is challenging and the music you get is simply perfect for what’s going on on the screen.

The game is free of charge which is a bit unfair for its developers and contributors since it’s this good. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of contact information that comes with the game if you want to show your support or just congratulate them on a job well done.
