X-Out: Resurfaced Review (Jimiga)
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.
