  While I won’t say to ignore Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype, I will say to carefully consider what you are buying. The game is $10, or $13 if you get it bundled with the DLC, and it can be completed in only an hour or so without giving you a reason to go back to it. At the same time, the gameplay is frantic and fast-paced, and it can a lot of fun to shoot down hordes of alien spaceships. I guess I’ll just leave you with that tough decision.

  Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype expands it’s rather simple “shoot everything that moves” base game with a host of game changing challenges which extend the life of the title. Cross buy is always a bonus and that offer also extends to the DLC which includes an extra three levels and more challenges for a few pounds. This is a great little shooter that has aged well considering it’s over five years old, and actually feels more at home on Vita than it did on PlayStation 3.

  Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype is a game made for both Shoot 'em Up fans, and those trying to get into the genre. Although it lacks some basic features and has an annoying collectible system, this is still one of the more addicting Vita games out there, and deserves every penny.

  The shmup genre is fairly niche, and if you’re in the market for this type of game then you know exactly what to expect. You’ll be more concerned with chasing your scores up the leaderboards than getting immersed in a story, in which case Soldner X-2 will almost certainly serve its purpose – though even die-hard shoot-em-up fans may struggle to feel excited over the been-there, done-that mechanics, especially after being spoiled by some of the aforementioned big-hitters of the Vita’s lifespan.

  7.0

  Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype and its DLC The Last Chapter provide a wonderful trip down memory lane for the more mature gamers out there, but the penalty for that is that the game flaunts its influences to the detriment of its own personality.

  Technisch bietet Söldner-X 2 nach wie vor ansehnliche Arcade-Action alter Schule. Es ist schon beeindruckend, wie originalgetreu die Entwickler die detailreichen Gegner und gleißenden Explosionen auf die Vita umgesetzt haben. Spielerisch nagt allerdings der Zahn der Zeit am sehr klassischen Ablauf – heute noch mehr als vor fünf Jahren.
