  Tags: Sidescroll Shooter Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: DOS-Era Contra style. Limited vield of vision. Camera does not follow while jumping causing delays and disorientation. No music. No Xbox360 pad support. The sprites are fairly authentic and nice looking. The FX for the sounds is not grating at all. The guts and gore animations were a nice touch. The world is filled with stuff to shoot at and represent an acceptable challenge. The lack of Xbox360 pad support was annoying. Manually configuring did not work. The only option left would be Joy2Key but I promised myself I would not bust that software out anymore given the saturation of feature rich titles on Steam nowadays. The lack of music is also a disappointment. The game is sort of approximative. Allowing you to tank a ton of damage on lower difficulties and foes are fairly bullet sponges as well. That means that you just sort of rambo through, an deal with the jank because of the charm. That only lasts so long however until you are left feeling a bit cramped and suffocated by the game's limitations. If this game was cleaned up with a newer field of vision, gave Xbox360 pad support out of box, gave modern resolutions I am sure it would have a chance to sell a bit of copies if given a low enough price. The prince of persia style animations are nice and the Alien thematic reminds of a predator movie, which fits the jungle theme. Firing lasers is always fun. Conclusion: Suffers too much from its age. Without a remaster it is probably best avoided. Still arguably a smidge more engaging than the Bio Menace, Commander Keens and other such competitors this game was facing back in the day with its more mature approach.

  This is a game that I used to play when I was a child. I've managed to pass through all 21 levels only today and it felt great. The last part feels shorter and rushed out, you can tell the devs were running out of time. I've found a couple of sprite glitches that weren't present in the original disc, which I still own and checked. Still, this is a great piece. There's platforming, shooting, plenty of gore, unexpected elements but most of all smart puzzles. If you're not progressing it means you're not using your brain. There are many hidden clues and hints that will reward you greatly if you follow their lead. You can pass through this game without getting hurt if you study its architecture. I love it. The more you play it, the more you realize they did a great job at designing it, despite its clunkiness there's always a way around. This is a work of art, a piece of software that respects the player. There's even a secret at the end which prompts to an URL; unfortunately the site doesn't exist anymore, I'd love to know what it was about. PS: To the ones saying they can't get past the first mission, I am able to finish it in less than 2 minutes. Don't give up and keep playing, you will feel good when you get how to pass an obstacle.
