Is that X8 "demake" any good?

What about Command Mission?

I've not played Demake but I have played the original X8 and I actually love that game. It controls and plays well, but you can't ignore the fact that a majority of its levels are auto scrollers with minimal level design. It has like 5 actual levels.

As for Command Mission... I simply dropped it. I got about to chapter 7. I think the characters are alright but the plot is not too exciting. It's like the other characters have 1 moment to shine and that's it. It also doesn't help that Command Mission is set in a different X continuity. Gameplay wise for an RPG is mixed. You don't have traditional ways of healing yourself but instead rely on a subtank like in the X games which is awkward to function with. I think you should give it a try yourself.

Is that X8 "demake" any good?

What about Command Mission?

From what I know, it definitely is, many levels had some major overhauls if you compare them to the original game counterparts and that's the biggest deal for me in a 2D platformer, at least half of them got completely rebuilt with better layouts and mechanics that reward skill and play exactly how MMX should and not too many gimmicks that don't compliment the core gameplay loop. (Just compare the Burning Rooster level side by side and you'll get it, it's night and day)

Now Command Mission is a funny one, I would like to try it and see for myself why it's so obscure, a MMX turn-based RPG just sounds so out of the box.
