Next up in the series of Must Play Indie Shmups - Super XYX A Shoot Em Up over a decade in the making. We interviewed Gryzor, the indie developer himself for an inside scoop on the lore, history, and never before seen details of this cool new Steam #Shmup. Released by Grybanzer Fox, SuperXYX is a throwback to old school shooters of the 90s both on PC and in arcades, with homages to big developers like Toaplan and Compile. It has incredible and unique sprite graphics, a rockin' YM2151 composed soundtrack by Carina, and retro gameplay that will feel familiar to anyone who grew up playing PC, Mega Drive, and Arcade shmups. From Truxton to Twin Cobra to Fireshark to Tyrian to Gun Nac. This game is a love letter to your nostalgic 90s favorites.

Find out why Super XYX is an absolute must play indie shmup on Steam.
