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. 9/10

Vertizontal, 3D graphics, and loads of "content" to unlock... And DLC's too?
I would have paid for a new 2D Truxton, but I guess when you're owned by Embracer you have to lean into modernity.
This isn't on my wishlist, but I'm happy to see the franchise continue.

Same! I reckon I'll give this a play if there's a decent sale, but I'm fine letting it go by for now.

Another video review from Retro Tuna (Invidious). They say they did manage to "pull off" a good widescreen shmup.
