Outbound is a fast paced, action packed, Mech combat shoot em up game. In outbound you control an AMV (Armored Mobile Vehicle) and have to make your through 8 very different hostile planets destroying everything in sight.

Each planet has a different mission for you to complete along with large fleets of enemy AMV's, turrets and bases for you destroy. Some levels require you to rescue and evacuate your allies.

There are a few different weapons to choose from and various power-ups and bonuses to collect. The on-screen map helps you find your allies or target-in on your enemies.

The graphics, sounds and gameplay are brilliant. The only problem I found slightly annoying is it's difficult to move or shoot diagonally. This can make it a little hard when you are surrounded by enemies and need to shoot them quickly.
