Overview
HOLY SHIT! Where to even begin with this game. First off, this is what the game’s about: You are Amagon, you are a marine, and you’re job is to go to your rescue ship on the other side of an island [that looks like a fetus]. Before you’re able to do that, you have to go through stage after stage of middling enemies who one-shot you no matter how mundane they are. Even if a fucking wasp shoots three [THREE!!] bullets [BULLETS!!] at you, you’re dead.
Visuals
This game has nothing going for it in the visual department. When I first saw the main character I could not tell if he was a caveman, surfer or whatever but it never occurred to me that he was a marine. The stage design is fucking bland as all shit as are the enemies that are all sorts of boring as hell critters. A very blah color palette is used that looks like an animated MS Paint picture.
Audio
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! From the point of turning this game on you’re greeted with some pretty terrible music…ever. And it keeps on looping OVER AND OVER to further drag you kicking and screaming into hell. Sound effects are equally headache inducing and are making me feel like I need a vice to squeeze the sounds out of my noggin.
Completion
Like I said in the overview, you die of one hit from EVERY FUCKING THING. It’s not cool. My first life I died from a bird because they weren’t attacking me throughout the whole game then, suddenly, they turned on me and fucked me over. The second life was equally quick because my character turned around on accident and shot the other way. He then succumbed to a snake.
The last two lives were wasted on the same goddamned wasp enemy. He three [THREE!!!!] bullets [BULLETS!!!] at you which are fucking hard as hell to evade. Eff this game.
It was nice that it had checkpoints though. Kudos for that.
