Overall Feeling: 

Soldner-X 2: The Final Prototype – The Last Chapter gives shmup fans a nice amount of goodness for a low price. Maintaining the same crazy scenarios found in the core experience, The Last Chapter has the same gorgeous visuals, crazy boss battles and high level of challenge that shmup fans have come to appreciate.

The Pros: 

The price is perfect for what it offers. While there are only three levels, they’re all amazing and boast the unique Soldner-X art style. As the final installment of Soldner-X 2, The Last Chapter ends with an awesome boss battle that serves as an excellent way to end the game and the story of Soldner-X 2.

The Cons: 

It would’ve been nice if there were at least one or two more levels. Racking up a reasonable score and ranking is still a pain in the ass.

Back in June the PSN received Soldner-X 2, the sequel to the 2008 shmup that at times redefined the meaning of hardcore.  With a more approachable difficulty level, Soldner-X 2 provided a nice amount of content that consisted of some well thought out boss battles and of course the seizure inducing visuals that accompany most shmup games.  Now, five months later we have The Last Chapter, a brand new piece of DLC for Soldner-X 2 that adds a few new levels, more maddingly difficult challenges

If you enjoyed the shmup action of Soldner-X 2 but are yearning for more then you’re in luck as the game is getting an expansion pack.  Titled Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype - The Last Chapter, the pack probably has the longest video game title we’re going to see this year.  The Last Chapter features exciting new shmup content with three brand new stages, additional Trophies, new music and even a new and probably brutal difficulty level.

Overall Feeling: 

Soldner-X 2 is a pure shmup experience that will please fans of the genre. With a nice amount of weapons, enemies and bosses the game is an entertaining despite its short campaign mode. Soldner-X 2 may not be an instant classic but the game is a must buy if you like shmup games as it’s one of the best recent offerings in the genre.

The Pros: 

The HD visuals and overall ascetic of the game is gorgeous. Even though it’s a shmup the difficulty level is forgiving as it isn’t a brutal game to play and enjoy. Nice soundtrack filled with some techno buttery beats.

The Cons: 

The single-player campaign is a bit too short. Would’ve been nice if there were some additional modes to mess around in.

There are some video game genres that thanks to their simplicity are timeless classics.  We of course still have the core genres out there such as action, adventure and racing but with the evolution of gaming most of those genres have taken on traits from others to become new hybrid genres.  But one genre that has remained the same since its inception many years ago is the side-scrolling shooter genre aka shmups.

If you’re not a hardcore fan of 2D shoot-em ups then you probably either forgot or never heard of Soldner-X 2.  A sequel to 2008’s Soldner-X: Himmelssturmer (best name ever), Soldner-X 2 offers more classic shmup action with a modern visual approach.
