Resogun is a 2013 shoot 'em up video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. Ports for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita developed by Climax Studios were released the following year. It 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 the game, 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, though it was criticized for its short length and lack of tutorials. Resogun won several awards, and was nominated for Action Game of the Year at the 17th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, and also appeared at the 2014 GDC Choice Awards.
