Xenon 3: Hyperblast

[Necronom]

"Our Xenon 3 will be both a tribute and an evolution. An explosive roguelite, with top-down gameplay and real-time transformations between spaceship and tank modes, just like the original game. Every element is designed to recreate that feeling: the arcade feel, the fast pace, the desire for 'one more playthrough'."

Ignore the haters and look forward to The Return of the King...of Euroshmups

I hope the game doesn't allow you to fly backwards. I just want simple vertical scrolling. And give us boss music too.

It's in italian? This is all very confusing, a while ago this youtuber bought "the rights" for commodore from a dutch shell company. Now it seems like there's also an Italian "official" commodore company.

This (Italian) Commodore is completely illegitimate and is just trademark squatting.

Ok. And do you have any further information?

Xenon isn't a Commodore trademark anyway. I mean, None of the Xenon games were even made originally for a Commodore system (AFAIK both are Atari ST games before anything)

And, holy crap, European developer citing Cygni and Sky Force Reloaded as references for the sequel to the most euroshmup game ever. Yeah. Also not one single screenshot.

Interesting read, thanks. I doubt this will have much influence on the making of the game though.

@Shatterhand They also state Battle Garrega and Raystorm as references

Oh those JP game mentions seem reassuring but don't be fooled by those superficial attempts at hiding the eurovibes under the carpet. Sine Mora devs also mentionned Garegga and the Cygni ones mentionned Rayforce as inspiration...and we all know what were the end results
