Super Metroid X Fusion - (Super Nintendo SNES)
Super Metroid X Fusion is a Super Metroid fan hack by Metaquarius. Taking place in an alternate retelling of Metroid Fusion, Samus responds to a distress signal from the BSL station SR-388 and is attacked by a mysterious organism. Awakening later, Samus must now navigate the station while dealing with dangerous experiments and the ravenous X parasites. All while having to deal with a perplexing AI and some harsh truths about herself...
This hack remixes several parts of Fusion with the engine of Super for a unique experience that amps up much of the horror aspects in a more difficult experience than the original.
This game reimagines Metroid Fusion's story, assets (graphics, music, bosses, enemies), and atmosphere within the Super Metroid engine, creating a challenging, "total conversion" experience for veteran players, featuring new progression, unique bosses, and a unique blend of both games' styles.
Key Characteristics:
+Total Conversion: It's not just a simple reskin; it fundamentally alters Super Metroid with Fusion's content, including maps, tilesets, music, and story elements.
+Story & Setting: It retells Metroid Fusion's narrative on the B.S.L. Station but with Super Metroid's level design and gameplay mechanics, adding new dialogue and exploration.
+Difficulty: Aimed at experienced players, it's significantly harder than both source games, with sparse checkpoints and demanding combat, though difficulty settings are available.
+Gameplay Blend: It mixes Super Metroid's open-ended exploration with Fusion's more directed progression, requiring advanced techniques like wall jumps and shinesparking.
+Technical Achievement: Praised for its impressive visuals and technical execution, making Fusion's elements function within the SNES hardware.
+New Content: Features custom bosses and redesigned areas that remix elements from both games, making familiar rooms feel new.
In essence, Metroid X Fusion offers a challenging, nostalgic, yet fresh experience by fusing the gameplay of Super Metroid with the beloved story and aesthetic of Metroid Fusion through a massive fan project.
