Not a hero. Sigh… what did I do to deserve this? This one is side view action run and gun. I’ll say this right at start my main gripe with this game is that you can’t change the controls. Same shite as Donuts’n’Justice same controls, movement with arrows and all action keys are “xcv”. Let me say it clear “THOSE CONTROLS ARE FOR TURN BASED RPGS!!! NOT ACTION GAME THAT REQUIRES GOOD REATION SKILLS!” is that so hard to follow? Once again I saw threads about controls remapping and once again jackshit was done about.
Plot? I don’t really care about plot in this game, I can’t hear through shite controls and squeaky noises that your boss Bunny makes. I have no bloody idea what the other characters are voiced well, but the guy who explains to you everything just makes squeaks instead of speaking. He sounds like fecking broken rayman raving rabbit. The only think I got from the plot is that Bunny that weird dickhead who wants to be a mayor. He then sends his mercenaries to kill the ethnic opposition gangs. And that’s it, when we kill every other criminal gang lord in England Bunny can become a mayor.
Gameplay. You pick a mercenary and run around 2d building killing and shooting. You have a main goal and three side goals to “3star” a level. Boring and annoying bullshit, forget about side goals. You have 5 hit points that will regenerate 3 seconds after being injured. You do everything you can and after you done you need to find an escape vehicle or helicopter. So what are the controls? You already know about arrows. You press “X” to slide you can hold it to slide a little bit longer. You also use X to slide into cover which is bullshit. Gameplay is too fast paced to slide into cover. I haven’t figure out cover shenanigans yet. Sometimes you go into cover sometimes you don’t .You can also slide into an enemy and if he doesn’t punch you back you can do a fast execution move. You use “C” to shoot and space to reload. Once again bullshit. With this kind of fast paced gameplay I end trying to run away floor up or down to reload in safety because covers are bullshit. Often I just catch a brain freeze and starts pressing wrong buttons because my brain is not wired for right handed movement controls. Finally “V” is for grenade toss when you have one.
Enemies, there are a lot of them. They use all kind of fire arms and with each level they start to get cleverer and bullshitier. They will actively use covers and they will punch you back if you try to slide into them. Sometimes they will spawn in places that you already cleared flanking you. And after you go into 3rd set of levels there will be one shot melee enemies. Sigh this is such bullshit, no wonder game flopped.
Let’s just finish this crap. There are also power ups. Several bullet power ups and different type of bombs. Bullet power ups are replaces your current mag with upgraded bullets that will lasts till you reload. There are ricochet bullets, high caliber bullets, explosive bullets, lasers. And now for the bombs. There are regular grenades, impact ones, nail ricochet ones, cat bomb, mines, pipe bomb and I forgot the rest.
Right, mercenaries. I haven’t unlock all of them maybe only halve. There isn’t much difference about them apart from gun they use. There is either fast shooting pistol or shotgun, shotguns sucks because reload is too long for them and ammo cap is small and range is tiny too. Basically you can do the same amount of damage as shotgun does but with a pistol if you close enough.
Final words, feck this shit skip this game. Only good thing about it are voice lines of mercenaries when they talk in different English, Scottish accents. It could be ok game, but I’m way too angry about controls to give it any higher score. Plus levels get longer and more tedious with each new stage. Sometimes you’ll end up being lost trying to figure out where and how to go.
Everything is too small and pixilated
Okay ost.
