Why would you want to escape when you could just blow your enemies to smithereens? X-Scape puts you in the role of a grizzled commander returning home a decade after his illustrious tour of duty. Home is not quite in the shape he left it, though.

For an 800 point DSi game, X-Scape offers a fair amount (about 12 hours) of planet-hopping gameplay with the option to unlock missing paths and missions after you finally put the emperor in his place. If X-Scape's '80s style and immersive first-person gameplay catches your eye, then there's a damn good chance you'll love this throwback adventure. It's easily one of the most unique titles exclusively available for the DSi.
