You are the Rendering Ranger, a special forces soldier who defending Earth from a devastating alien invasion through nine levels of action platforming as well as blisteringly fast horizontal shooter stages. Originally developed for Super Famicom by Manfred Trenz, creator of the Turrican series.

In 1990, the year of X-Out’s initial release on C64, it stood out as a breath of fresh seaside air in the stale shoot ‘em up space. 

Many games of its genre did (and still do) take place in “space” but X-OUT paves the way by going for  a dive through underwater worlds. 

But what really pushed it further than its other side-scrolling competitors was its shop system. By allowing players to mix and match from a wide variety of ships, weapons, and other accessory parts to build their fleet, X-OUT made every play-through (attempt) feel different and unique.

The first new Sonic Wings (Aero Fighters) game in 26 years, with original staff members from the series involved in its planning, production, and oversight. This all-new installment in the classic vertical-scrolling shoot ’em up series is designed for all fans of the genre to enjoy.

Story

In the year 20XX, cities around the world come under attack. “Fata Morgana,” a mysterious organization wielding super weapons and the unknown technology to control the world’s military arsenal, has returned. “Project Blue,” an international secret rescue team of knights that soar the skies, rises to stand against this threat to the world. What awaits them in their fight against these formidable foes…?

Gameplay

Choose from eight popular characters from the series, including Mao Mao and Hien, as you aim to clear eight stages set in real-life cities. The game allows you to select your difficulty at the start and also includes local two-player cooperative play.

Strange enemy activity has been detected at a secret military base in the desert, and it’s up to you to investigate! Agent Fall is a retro side-scrolling shooter across sprawling platformer stages, from the desert sands and jet hangars of the surface to mysterious underground labs and waterways. Choose from 4 agents and infiltrate the base in a search-and-destroy operation where you’ve got the ultimate license to kill.

Face off against roving enemy soldiers, run, jump, climb ladders and use the environment to your advantage. Strategically scale platforms to gain higher ground, fire in any direction, throw grenades or detonate fuel barrels to neutralize foes, then check in with your team as the tale of espionage unfolds in dialogue with memorable characters. Tackle missions solo or team up with a friend for local co-op play!
