Love it!

I just played both my original Amiga version and this one back to back - it's very faithful to the original with some nice quality of life improvements, like controller buttons mapped for secondary weapons and the ability to speed up / slow down the ship's movement. The option of pre-configured weapon / ship setups is useful if you want to speed up the shop section and just get right into the action.

Audio and effects have had a hi-fi overhaul, the classic Huelsbeck tunes and the effects have a bit more of a thump to them with the use of more channels which feels great.

You can tell this has been made with a lot of care and attention, and a real reverence for the original game.

I really like that there's no smoothing out the pixel art or weird 3D sprites and such, this feels like just the right amount of tweaking to make it feel both modern and as though you could be playing on some kind of super-Amiga.

The only thing I'd like to have seen is perhaps a little more control over the post-effects look in the visuals. It would be great to see a graphics entry in the options menu to be able to add scanlines and maybe tweak the glow effect to taste. These are small things though (maybe they can be added in an update, wink wink!) and the game is a wonderful new edition of an evergreen Amiga classic!

I'd welcome more such ports for sure. Well done devs, keep up the great work.

Great remaster with a lot of attention to detail and out of this world music.
Please give me more!
And very nice that even an old cheat is working in the shop!

Got the physical special edition on Switch and now here on Steam. I played the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game back on the Amiga. The remastered soundtrack from Chris is just amazing and on par with his remade Turrican soundtrack.

The game is as brutal as you remember but you will get some cheats (presented in a fake cracktro) if you die too often but then achievements won't work but it's good for memorizing the levels. It's as good as the original.

You can switch between the new music, Amiga and C64. I actually had wished the og games would have been included as a bonus. Sure you can play them if you know how but having them here would've been nice.

I hope this will sell enough (maybe not on Steam...we all now how hard it is on this store front) so we might get other old games from german studios like here Rainbow Arts or maybe some old Blue Byte games like Extreme Assault.

Very good update on the original. Definitely not as intimidating or impenetrable as it was on the Amiga without sacrificing the difficulty and level design. I understood the submarine customization and all the trade offs with it a lot more and that got me a lot farther. The updates to the soundtrack are excellent and the new tracks are a real treat, and it's great to have the Amiga and C64 versions of the tunes as options as well. I've spent way too much time in the options menu listening to the music.

Get ready for X-OUT, Love this game & Awesome remake of an absolute classic Amiga shoot em up, excellent work guys, i'm very impressed, highly recommend buy this game :)
hope for a Katakis remake or a brand new Katakis game ?
