X-Men Sega Saturn Update! 0.3!

Well, it's good to see that HotRodX is still at it and doing the work we so desire! It's nice to see a programmer who listens to fans and strives to do more work to achieve a set goal. Since we last visited this port of the Saturn version for the X-men Arcade game, there have been two updates! The last update was back earlier in the Spring and Storm was added along with level 2! Storm became a playable character and now Nightcrawler has also been added to the roster. With four playable characters, you can also barge in with 3 whole players to take down the sentinel menace! 

Once again, we find ourselves spellbound by this game's amazing progress as our developer is hard at work behind the scenes, churning out gold! Nightcrawler is definitely a fan favorite character, but I'm personally waiting for Colossus, as he has the power and the brawn to take down these malicious machines with brute strength and a battle cry known to many! 

Until then, though, we find ourselves with a new third level, which is the jungle level! After taking down the sentinel factory, you'll find that the difficulty spikes quite a bit, like the arcade days of old. It's still a real challenge, as you only have three lives to get through all three levels and this is a real chore that gamers will find invigorating and a tiny bit frustrating! It's beautiful! 

What I love the most is that he sees the difficulty and softens the blow a little bit with the first level. Rather than having to take down the sentinels with two beat downs, it only requires one. In the second level, he spikes up the difficulty by requiring you to either beat them twice, or beat them once and stomp them on the ground to make them explode! The explosions hit like they're supposed to and the mutant powers are a potent tool that you can only use in limited quantities. 

Consider us a cheering squad! We're here to make sure that this game gets its due diligence and praise from all who would behold it! HotRodX, we hope you continue the hard work and we wait with baited breath for the next update, whenever that is. Just remember to take breaks and don't overwork yourself. Patience is a virtue that we should have learned long ago, and working as a single developer in a game made from scratch, the workload can be very cumbersome. So, please, all of you X-men and Saturn fans, be sure to give this game a try and give the feedback! Make sure to make it constructive and accept that the game is not finished quite yet. The polish and the full game will come when it will and we need to make sure that HotRodX continues in an environment fit for programming. Just remember to enjoy the game while you drink water!
