X-Kaliber 2097 is a futuristic 2D action game released for the Super Nintendo. Set in the cyberpunk dystopia of Neo New York, you play as Slash, wielding a mystical energy sword to overthrow the warlord Raptor and his mutant Morph army. The game stands out with its fast-paced hack-and-slash combat and a pulse-pounding industrial techno soundtrack produced by the band Psykosonik.
How to play
Slice your way through waves of enemies and navigate platforming hazards to reach and defeat the boss at the end of each stage. Use your keyboard to control the SNES emulator: move and crouch with the Arrow keys, jump and attack using Z, X, A, and S, and press Enter to start or pause the game.
Tips
- Deflect projectiles: Your sword isn't just for offense. You can swing at incoming enemy fire with precise timing to block or reflect projectiles back at your foes.
- Use the dash attack: Quickly double-tap forward and press attack to perform a powerful lunging strike, which is excellent for closing the distance on enemies with guns.
