EnbornX

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: Lantansia

First-off, this game is called EnbornX…but the “cover art” makes it look like EndornX. Despite the cover art appearance, when I highlight this game on the Ouya, it comes up as EnbornX and when looking up its information, all of that came up under that title, too. Maybe whoever designed the art didn’t get the memo? Anyway, I want to call EnbornX a scrolling shooter…but it’s not, really. Instead of the typical scrolling shooter where you blast your way through hordes of enemies to get to a boss as the end of the level, this game just put you right into the boss fight, with each level being a different boss. The game itself is incredibly easy. Even when the screen looks like a typical bullet hell game, it’s usually not too hard to avoid death – specifically, much of the time I found that if I found a bullet-free spot, I could sit there for most of the battle, not move, and hold down the fire button to slowly make my way to victory. It seems like once you find the hole in the bullets, oftentimes the bullets don’t tend to ever land there. That said, EnbornX is still decent. If you’re a fan of scrolling shooters but just want to cut right to the boss fights and forget all the hoopla beforehand, this may be a game that you appreciate.
