Evaluation

RefleX is the second entry in SITER SKAIN's "The Tale of ALLTYNEX" shooting game trilogy, released on Steam on March 27, 2014. The game shipped as a complete, self-contained shmup experience with 8 stages and various modes. Its only DLC — the original soundtrack — was released on December 11, 2014, completing the game's commercial content offering. The most notable administrative event in the game's history was the closure of its original publisher, Nyu Media, announced on June 15, 2022. That post confirmed that RefleX would remain on sale and that publishing responsibilities would transfer directly to SITER SKAIN — so the game was never at risk of being delisted, and the developer remained in control. More recent news posts from the publisher (Henteko Doujin, who appears to have taken on distribution duties for the SITER SKAIN catalog) are announcements about other titles in the shmup lineup, such as Revolgear Zero (February 2026) and Kamikaze Empire (June 2026). These posts cross-promote the broader catalog during sales events but contain no indication of new content planned for RefleX itself. RefleX launched as a finished arcade-style shooting game. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no roadmap, no developer statements about future updates, and no sustained post-launch content cadence beyond the soundtrack DLC. The game is complete.

About this game

The second chapter in one of the most loved and respected Japanese shooting game series ever: The Tale of ALLTYNEX by Japanese indie developer SITER SKAIN. Carefully crafted play experiences, destructive fun, and absorbing gameplay have made the ALLTYNEX trilogy renowned in shmup / shooting game communities, both in Japan and overseas.

Story
Many years have passed since the ALLTYNEX incident and humanity’s resettlement of the Earth. The world’s nations have joined to form a unified economy and a global militaristic government. However, in opposition to the worldwide mass oppression, a resistance organization arose: Valkyness.
The decades long conflict between the Global Unified Army and Valkyness is suddenly interrupted when an alien force arrives seeking vengeance on humanity for atrocities inflicted upon their people.
Earth's war against the Raiwat leads to a surprising ending that reduces almost the entire planet to scorched earth, brings mankind to the verge of extinction and sows the seeds of the events to follow in KAMUI.
