Scythe X serves as the concluding installment in the Scythe series. Much like its earlier counterpart, Scythe 2, it is structured into episodes consisting of five levels each and was solely developed by Erik Alm. The plan is to re-release the game each time a new episode is finished. The initial two episodes were launched together on September 5, 2009. Additional episodes remain unreleased to date. In 2018, Scythe X was featured on the Top 25 Missed Cacowards list.
