Warnings, S.O.S.’s and stories of total planet annihilation had been banded around a terrified solar system for some time but had been conveniently ‘overlooked’ by spineless, so called Leaders.
And now it was too late. This was incomprehensible. This was immense!
It’s vast appetite was closing in on Earth and the putrid stench of partly digested World’s hung ominously in space, above a society that had refused to believe that it’s very existence would ever again be in question.
Who could fight?
Who would dare venture inside this mutant horror and battle against it’s bodily defence mechanisms, to obliterate its sustaining organs, to finally put a stop to its crazed, hunger induced stampede across the Universe?
Mankind needs you, the Dominator…You need to fight…IT NEEDS TO FEED!
This futuristic shooter combines two distinct styles of gameplay into a multi-level romp through space. The colony planets of New Chicago have been overrun by gangs of Rrampon invaders, and a state-of-the-art space cruiser has been sent in to purge the infestation. It's up to the Star Breaker, and its android pilot, to destroy the enemy's airborne forces and dispatch the interlopers underground.
X-Out is a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up with eight levels and an underwater setting.
Between levels, the player visits a shop and use their game score to purchase new submarines and equipment. The submarines come in four different variants, and additional purchases act as additional "lives". Each can be equipped with a one-way, two-way or three-way fire weapon of increasing power (and thus cost). Secondary weapons include sonic waves, powershots and target-seeking missiles. The player can also purchase auxiliary satellites and specify their movement pattern, which can be circular orbits, vertical and horizontal movements, or an intercepting action.
