About this game
This collection brings together Copen's two science-fiction action adventures. In the first game, dash into enemies to mark them, then attack with guided photon lasers. Stage bosses unlock EX Weapons as you progress. In iX 2, the Razor Wheel becomes a central tool for fighting through the tower's stages. Both games include their previous DLC and receive balance changes: the first strengthens Darkness Trigger, while the sequel adds Spike Smash to its Razor Wheel. Each also includes Endless Battle, where you configure the settings before facing successive randomly selected bosses. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition offers separate display modes that prioritize resolution or frame rate.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A promising fit for action players who enjoy learning distinct combat systems and revisiting bosses.
Dash marking makes movement part of aiming, while the sequel's spinning blade offers a different combat focus. The randomized boss mode should appeal most when refining combat technique is itself the attraction.
Strengths
- Enemy marking gives aggressive positioning a concrete purpose beyond traversal.
- Configurable boss sequences offer a focused alternative to progressing through stages.
Who it is for: Players interested in guided-fire combat, weapon unlocks and repeated boss encounters.
Play notes: Returning players should expect revised combat balance rather than an unchanged reproduction of the originals.
