June 2026 - XP8

[NinjaKat]

Game of the Month for June 2026, is XP8! - yes we had this back in 2022 but this is the AGS random selection - and I love this game, so we are doing it again!

XP8 is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up featuring raytraced graphics with many reflections.

Eight different weapons are on offer, which can be powered up to several stages, and are collected from tokens, sometimes in hidden sections. A simultaneous two-player mode is offered, which makes getting through the five levels (with passwords for each one) a little easier. The introduction takes the form of a few static screens.
