Good news Razion EX gets a digital download release in the Switch eShop on September 16th 2021 (Europe + North America). After lots of critics and discussion with the community we came around. If you like 16 bit CGI horizontal shmups please give it a try. The reprint comes 2022.
Holy crap - it's only $9.99 and looks amazing. My kid and I are going to delve into this today.
Edit: just tried it. This is way better than Razion EX. My god this is rad. The graphics are insane and it feels like there is a lot to explore. Thank you for the recommend!!
Edit 2: Now on level 9 and went through some of the earlier levels and got all the gems. This game is a classic. Thank you for the recommend - this is my favorite game I've played in a long long time.
