Overview
- WayForward’s remaster is live on the PlayStation Store for PS5 at $19.99, bringing the Game Boy Advance curio to modern players.
- The hybrid pairs side‑scrolling space battles with top‑down planetary exploration as pilot Ian Recker infiltrates the alien Krill Empire.
- DX tuning targets rough spots from the original with an improved map, fewer random encounters, a rebalanced EXP curve, an updated script, added save points, and bug fixes.
- The console and PC build, ported by Mighty Rabbit using Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, includes save states, a rewind option, a concept‑art gallery, a music player, border art, and a new vocal theme song.
- Coverage notes the GBA release earned a 68 on Metacritic, and Push Square praises the effort but calls the $19.99 price on the steep side for a 20‑year‑old title.
