We’ve played as a lot of things in a shoot ‘em up, but a ‘researcher’ is probably a first. Endurance: Space Action pitches you as a red-shirt crew member at the heart of an infection that has taken hold of the rest of the ship. This infection makes everyone around you bloodthirsty and insane, and your only hope is to survive and find an escape pod off the spaceship Endurance. Endurance: Space Action is out now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Not everyone is contaminated, and you’ll be relying on the help of the uninfected if you want to escape. Endurance: Space Action is one of those rare top-down shooters that weaves in narrative, making it something more than the Enter the Gungeons and Hotline Miamis that we’re used to in the genre.

This is a retro, pixel-art shooter, and it might remind you of the genre’s glory days, with games like The Chaos Engine and Smash TV tearing up arcades and Amigas.  It’s slightly more rudimentary and less atmospheric than those examples, but it still looks like it can hold its own. Watching trailers, some of the battlegrounds even remind us a little of the ship in Among Us.

There are tons of weapons to get in your hands, and we are reliably informed that there are ‘variable game mechanics’, whatever that might mean. Looking at the trailer, it certainly looks like the action moves beyond the questionable joys of gunning down your crewmates, and onto an alien race of some kind. 

We’re inundated with top-down shooters, so we’re looking for something in Endurance: Space Action that sets it apart. Here’s hoping that the promise of a dense, intertwined narrative does exactly that. Find out in our upcoming review!

Features include:

  • Tons of different weapon
  • Variable game-play mechanics
  • Brutal animations
  • Good humour
  • Intriguing story
  • Atmospheric music and sound effects

Endurance: Space Action is out now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S and starts at £6.69 from the Xbox Store. It’s also been available on Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam for a little while already. 

Game Description:

Endurance: Space Action is a pixel-art top-down shooter with old-school retro vibes. It tells the story of a researcher on a spaceship called Endurance, where one day all the crew members got infected and became insane. Your goal is to survive on this spacecraft and find out what happened to the crew, how this disease spread out around this spaceship, and also rescue your friends that get into a trouble. You’ll be fighting with your former colleagues, as they want you dead now, you’ll be helping you friends who are still sane and haven’t got infection yet.
