When you take Ex-Zodiac's advice and lower the framerate and resolution, it really feels like a game from the early days of 3D graphics.
Ex-Zodiac is an oddity, tapping into this ignored middle ground between pixels and textured polygons. It’s also notable how few risks Ex-Zodiac takes. Nothing about the pop of laser beams colliding with enemy ships feels distinct or different to the way it did on the Super Nintendo. In Early Access, Ex-Zodiac doesn’t offer all of its eventual stages, but traveling through an asteroid belt with differently colored destructible and indestructible asteroids isn’t a subtle reference.
Ex-Zodiac's developers clearly chose precise boundaries on what to emulate. Enemy counts remain low, if slightly higher than in Star Fox. With settings at their lowest, there’s a genuine sense this might run on the Super Nintendo or a first-gen Windows gaming PC. There’s even a choice for a 4:3 aspect ratio to preserve the bulky square of a CRT.
