Better with friends
A third-person shooting arena built for free-for-all, where four players hunt each other through compact maps with a varied arsenal. The fun springs from controlled chaos, ambushes and reversals when a straggler scoops it all at the end. Snappy and readable, it suits short, repeated sessions where rivalry quickly turns into a matter of honor.
Is Outtrigger still worth playing in 2026?
An arena FPS by Sega AM2, Outtrigger borrows arcade codes for a nervy shoot tuned for the analogue pad. Compact arenas, varied weapons and the multiplayer modes deliver a particularly successful local experience. The learning curve demands patience, especially relative to modern FPS standards, but the snappy pace and clear readability still hold up. A curiosity that has been unfairly forgotten and that easily deserves a detour for fans of fast paced arcade shooting on the couch.
