Samus, infected by a parasite called X, explores a research station where an unstoppable clone of herself is hunting her. It's a more guided Metroid with real horror and some of the best bosses in the series.
Kit's verdict · 8.9/10
A tense, scary, gorgeous Metroid that trades freedom for fear and nails it.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- The SA-X chases are terrifying
- Superb boss fights
- Beautiful sprite work
Not so much
- Very linear for a Metroid
- Frequent mission briefings break the flow
Play it if anyone who wants a tight, scary action game.
Skip it if players who love Metroid's open-ended exploration.

Tips
Play it better
- Run from the SA-X in the early game; you can't beat it until much later.
- Use the map from navigation rooms to find hidden areas you missed.
- Morph ball through tight spaces and test walls with bombs; many hide missile tanks.
- Charge your beam before big fights; it does far more damage.
- Learn the Shinespark: run until you glow, press Down to store it, then jump to launch.
