What is "resogun"

Resogun (stylized as RESOGUN) is a 2013 voxel-based side-scrolling shoot 'em up video game developed by Finnish developer Housemarque and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The PS4 game was released in North America and Europe in November 2013 and in Japan in February 2014, while the Vita and PS3 versions were released in December 2014. Resogun: Heroes, the first DLC, was released in North America on June 24, 2014, while the second DLC, Resogun: Defenders was released in February 17, 2015. Resogun, a PS4 launch title, draws heavily from the games Defender and Datastorm, and is considered the spiritual successor to Housemarque's previous shoot 'em up games Super Stardust HD and Super Stardust Delta.

In Resogun, the player battles enemies and rescues trapped humans in a cylindrical, voxel-based world. The game was well received by video game journalists, who lauded its graphical prowess, fast-paced gameplay, and soundtrack. The game was criticized for its short length and lack of tutorials or explanations for several gameplay elements. Resogun won several awards, and was nominated for Action Game of the Year at the 2014 DICE Awards, and also appeared at the 2014 GDC Choice Awards.
