Aww, come on, do I have to review such shite?
Oh, alright then, but only cos I'm in a good mood.
Doom clones are all the rage on the Amiga at the moment, there's so
many of them which are alike, it's hard to choose the right one. However,
there is one thing that sets this game apart from others, that is, it
works on all Amigas, right down to the poncey A500. So if you own a 500
the choice is clear, well, the choice is a it non existent actually.
Now this would make you think that the game is going to be crap, because
of the graphical capabilities and speed of the A500.
Well, you'd be wrong, because, it IS crap, but it's not because
it runs on the A500 and has crap graphics, quite the opposite, #6More>>>

it's too bluddy hard!
The graphics are on the blocky side, but they aren't too bad really
compared to Fears and Gloom. Even though it does work on the A500, you'd
need some sort of 020 on board to get it to run on a fairly big screen.
Due to the fact that no one around here is sad enough to own an A500,
we couldn't test it. To get the game running fast on full screen, we
found that it needed an 030 board.
Anyway, onto the gameplay.
First of all you find yourself walking around stupid corridors
with stupid automatic doors opening and closing all the time,
after walking around and playing with the automatic doors, you
will eventually find some ammo. Pick it up and a nice big gun as #6More>>>
@4
well and then blast those funny looking green aliens.
I have to admit that you can actually make out the enemy now unlike
Fears and Gloom where it looks like your being attacked by a ten
foot block.
Each alien is a sod to kill and is well 'ard. My favourite are those
funny green aliens with guns. Although I don't get to see them for
very long, because they kill me within a matter of seconds.
I won't bore you with the actual game plot, as we all know it's just
trying to hide the fact that it is a complete, utter, obvious Doom clone.
A pretty dire one at that. The graphics aren't bad, the gameplay's awful,
the game is boring, tedious and far too hard. You'll find yourself
watching blood pouring down the screen very often. #6More>>>

Sorry, but with Breathless on the market and looking even better than
Doom with gameplay more enthralling than playing with the dogs
bollocks, I can't recommend this shite at all and that's what it is...
Shite.
Sorry, but people should be upgrading by now to move on to better things.
Graphics A1200-60% Graphics 74% (for a 500)
Sound-59%
Addictiveness-30% 'what addictiveness?'
Playability-30% 'oh you actually play do you?'
Overall- 47% 'the only good thing about the game is the fact
that A500 owners now have a Doom clone, that's arse.'
