Xardion is one of those hidden gems that almost never get any recognition. It’s also one of the few platformer/ARPGs available for the Super Nintendo. It’s easy to overlook this title due to the slightly goofy name and gameplay that feels very stilted at first, but give it a chance and you’ll find a very good game under its obvious flaws.
Players are given three mechs to control from the very start. While only one mech can be used at a time, each of them has its own uses and special powers. They also level up and become more powerful as the player defeats enemies. Xardion also featured some very interesting stages and cool bosses, so give it a try if you are looking for something different.
