Nex Machina is a twin-stick shooter.
This game was unfortunately unsuccessful, which led developer Housemarque to claim that "ARCADE IS DEAD".
Which in the end only meant they would release their next game with roguelike mechanics, and replace their old handcrafted design.
Of course I don't blame the company for trying to survive in the market and maybe chasing trends and algorithms might be the only solution.
But I think it's a shame, because Nex Machina successfully brings Robotron to a new audience,
with really good level design, great new mechanics and fun bosses.
