This sensational FPS still holds up brilliantly and this new version has plenty of great improvements to make it even better.

Being a fan of the Dreamcast has certainly had its ups and downs. There was the successful launch that indicated that Sega might have finally turned things around, the crushing disappointment of the console’s discontinuation less than two years later, and a weird but exciting afterlife marked by import treats like Ikaruga and Under Defeat. When the official releases finally did stop in 2007, independent developers stepped in with high-quality commercial games like Wind & Water: Puzzle Battles, Sturmwind and Xenocider. Intrepid Izzy is the latest game to carry forward the Dreamcast’s legacy, and we’re happy to report that it’s another really solid entry in the console’s improbably expanding library.
