Remember Space Invaders? I do. Although I more fondly remember Arcadians; a Space Invaders rip-off for the Acorn Electron.

Critic Reviews
Super Destronaut DX (Nintendo Switch)
The DX is a difference here, making for a more enjoyable game all around. It’s had a modest price increase, but still comes in at only $4.99, with enhancements to justify the cost. Super Destronaut DX is a simple, but fun game. It’s not the sort that you’ll play at length (to limit repetition) but it does make for an entertaining way to pass some time.

If Space Invaders floats your intergalactic boat, Super Destronaut DX will definitely scratch your itch and the attempts to nudge and wink its way through your fond memories of neon lights and electro tunes are admirable. However, unless you’re a high score hunter or a multiplier maniac who has had their fill of more interesting shooters or music-based games on the system like Just Shapes And Beats or Lumines Remastered, Super Destronaut DX will end up being a brief time killer, but not much else.
