X2

About

X2 is a side-scrolling shooter that builds on the fast-paced action of its Amiga predecessor. You navigate through waves of enemies and environmental hazards while upgrading your arsenal between levels. The gameplay emphasizes quick reflexes and strategic positioning as you take on increasingly complex stages filled with hostile forces and challenging boss encounters. Developed during Team17's early collaboration with Ocean Europe, the game shares DNA with the studio's later hits like Worms. While it never saw a Sega Saturn release due to development changes, X2 remains a notable entry in the company's history. Retro fans might appreciate its straightforward design and the glimpse it offers into Team17's evolution before they became a household name in the gaming industry.
