Fission Superstar X -- Out May 21st on Xbox One

A new rogue-lite game is set to release very soon, as Fission Superstar X will launch May 21st on Xbox One for the somewhat low price of $14.99 -- with respective pre-order and wishlist options available now. Blast off in Dr. Leopold’s bomber in this relentless shooter. Tour the solar system on a desperate randomly generated bomb run, facing impossible odds in an attempt to achieve the demented dream of an insane scientist.

Fission Superstar X takes place in a wacky version of the solar system, featuring nine unlockable ships, over 100 different crew members from humans to space bears, 64 different weapons both mundane and insane, over 20 different environments, and over 70 different enemy types including scavengers, fascist space cats, and giant insects. You’ll fight your way through over 20 different environments and face off against giant bosses on your journey through the solar system.  

You will fight using ranged and up-close weaponry while dodging and blocking attacks with your shield. Manage your ship to assemble the perfect crew and install the most destructive weapons, but be prepared to make some difficult decisions along the way – do you repair a damaged component, heal a wounded member of the crew, or upgrade your stats? Do you dock at a station and spend time dodging an angry Planetoid or skip that stop for an easier run through a colorful space aurora?

In the end, it’s up to you to decide the best course of action! When a giant insect shrimp gives you a beating on Saturn, just hit the detonate button and blow up your nuclear superstar – that will show them! 

Oh, and one more thing, the dev-team says that you will die a lot in Fission Superstar X, and that will only make your eventual victory taste that much sweeter. I have to say, that I don’t like dying much, but hey, to each their own.
