X-Out: Resurfaced is gearing up to make a splash on gaming consoles this February 20th, thanks to the collaborative efforts of ININ Games, Kritzelkratz 3000, Ziggurat, and Rainbow Arts. Dive into the adventure with us!
Step back into the aquatic action of a timeless classic with X-Out: Resurfaced. Contrary to typical alien plots, this shoot ’em up brings the fight to our oceans, revamping a beloved home computer game for today’s gaming systems.
Back in 1990, X-Out was a standout on the Amiga. Unlike its contemporaries that ventured into outer space, X-Out brought players into mesmerizing underwater realms. Its unique feature, a shop system, let players customize their fleet by picking from a variety of ships and weapons, ensuring every playthrough felt fresh and personal.
Fast forward to 2024, and Rainbow Arts’ challenging underwater shooter is making a triumphant return. ININ and Ziggurat have put together a ground-up remake that stays true to its roots while offering significant enhancements.
Visually, the game is stunning. Classic sprites have been reimagined in high definition and enhanced with modern particle and lighting effects. Whether it’s navigating stages or taking on bosses, everything has been given a vibrant new look.
Musically, you’re in for a treat. Chris Hülsbeck’s epic synth tunes, which fueled the original, have been remastered. On top of that, players will get to enjoy six completely new tracks, elevating the sonic experience further.
Moreover, the artistic legacy lives on with Ogan Kandemiroglu revisiting the series to honor his late brother’s iconic artwork, capturing the spirit of X-Out in this remake.
The shop system also sees improvements, making it easier to dive into the action with preconfigured setups, detailed item descriptions, and highlighted weapon slots. Plus, if the intensity becomes too much, you can always bring a friend onboard for local 2-player co-op action.
Expect a twist with the innovative Mirror Mode, flipping the game’s dynamics with reverse-scrolling levels that will test even seasoned players.
Here’s what X-Out: Resurfaced has to offer:
