# Army of Two Recompilation: a ReXGlue native port

> Army of Two Recompilation translates the player's Xbox 360 Army of Two executable into C++ with a game-specific ReXGlue SDK fork and builds a native host. Its Windows build uses a Direct3D 12 renderer; the author reports testing the opening areas, while Linux and macOS builds remain experimental.
