Fantastic yet grotesque spectacle fight
One of the best action games I've played in years, Slave Zero X is a 2.5D spectacle brawler that has you playing a sword-wielding human/battle parasite hybrid fighting through a nightmarish biopunk megacity using combo-mad air-juggling skills. The action takes place on a side-scrolling plane with 2D sprites on top of a chunky PSX-style low-poly background. Think Strider 2 in the arcades. You can jump and have light and heavy attack combos that change based on direction inputs. There's serious depth to the combat with attack cancels, perfect parries, rage meters, and a fury mode that you can extend with skillful play. While they recommend using a controller, I can happily report that keyboard controls are fully remappable, including the shift and ctrl keys! There's also a dummy practice room where you can practice combos. And biopunk nightmare or not, your character has an Izuna Drop like any self-respecting ninja. Apparently the artist for the original Slave Zero had plans for a horrific biopunk setting, including the protagonist mech, but the suits at Infogrames thought the visuals were too scary and had them tone it down and give the mech a friendly face, so the final main character looked like The Iron Giant's inbred cousin. Slave Zero X takes the original intended biopunk horror designs and dials it up to 11. Everything about the megacity from street vendors selling slices of unidentifiable meat things to grotesque skittering face monsters that wouldn't look out of place in The Thing is deliciously weird. And the peppy drum'n bass music is great to slay to. Hard-R violence and gore aside, this game is an absolute delight. It's an easy recommend!
