9Ranger X is a side-scrolling run-and-gun where you fight in a mechanized suit to defend your planet from invaders. Your suit has limited flight which is recovered when you touch the ground, as well as special weapons that are recovered when you are in direct sunlight. You also have a vehicle that follows you and provides additional weapons. This is a beautiful game with a lot of interesting systems that take time to learn. Having to destroy a stalactite to let the sun shine in to recharge your special weapon while utilizing your vehicle as an additional weapon platform adds a layer of complexity that is not usually seen in most run-and-gun games.
