X‑Out: Resurfaced is a modern remake of the cult classic horizontal shoot ’em up originally released for the Commodore 64 and Amiga, revived for Windows and other platforms. In this shooter, you take command of a customizable submarine fleet to fend off an alien invasion emerging from the ocean’s depths. Unlike many shmups set in space, this game’s underwater setting gives it a unique thematic twist, paired with fast‑paced side‑scrolling action that blends nostalgia with modern design.
The remake completely reimagines the original with high‑resolution sprites, vibrant particle and lighting effects, and a remixed soundtrack by legendary composer Chris Hülsbeck, including both new tracks and remastered classics. You’ll buy and equip submarines, weapons, and accessories in an improved shop system that lets you fine‑tune your fleet for each run. Tight controls and varied enemies keep gameplay engaging, and strategic loadout choices make each attempt feel different.
The game also introduces local two‑player cooperative play so a friend can join you in the depths, and a Mirror Mode that reverses level scrolling for added challenge. While its tough difficulty and classic shoot‑’em‑up pace may not appeal to everyone, fans of retro action and arcade shooters will find X‑Out: Resurfaced a rewarding dive into high‑octane underwater combat.
