RX squad

I found RX Squad sitting quietly in Steam's back catalogue, a 2016 action game that never got the attention it deserved. You're commanding the RX Squad's ships against waves of space monsters threatening Earth, but the hook isn't just reflexes, it's a trading-card deck-building layer that lets you customize your arsenal and pilot loadouts. The progression feels tangible, not grindy. Each card pickup shifts your tactical approach, and the game respects that by letting you build weird, experimental setups instead of locking you into a single meta path. The pacing moves fast enough that you're never bored, and the pixel art holds up cleanly even now. It's a modest game without pretension, no sprawling story, no voice acting, just clean action-adventure combat and a soundtrack that sits comfortably in the background without demanding attention. If you're hunting for a brisk, card-driven shooter that knows its scope and executes it well, this is worth an afternoon.
