Each playable character has their own special weapon two fire modes! Choice is your Weapon! Play through non-linear levels and make dynamic in-level branch decisions! Nathan Fouts, lead designer on Weapon of Choice DX, says, "I love playing run and gun games, and Weapon of Choice DX is like a Contra game on acid! It’s all the alien-blasting you can handle, but with some innovative twists to the genre such as the ‘Death-Brushing’ ability, for retro-gamers like me who want a boost."

This upcoming rerelease looks set to improve upon the original Xbox Live Indie Game of the same name (minus the DX part, of course), with new difficulty rebalancing, a new widescreen layout, and higher resolution visuals. Indie developer Mommy's Best Games has revealed that Weapon of Choice DX will be blasting onto the Nintendo Switch eShop on 2nd September.
