In actual fact, the game itself was written by ASF from Poland, but Tiger Developments are now distributing this game in the UK.¢¢ The story informs us that a beast has been gathering new disciples to spread evil over the planet. As usual, you are a good guy, and you have been chosen to destroy the evil by using your helicopter.¢¢ Kult is basically a shoot 'em up, which is in the same mould as Zybex. Both are quite similar in shooting and control methods, but the games are different enough to warrant owning both.¢¢ As you progress through each level in Kult, you will be faced by a number of nasties moving in their own particular style. The idea is to shoot them before they have time to do your ship damage. Your standard weapon can be increased in strength by collecting icon boxes that are left behind by the dead enemies, and other weapons can also be collected in the same way. Your helicopter will constantly shoot a stream of fire, but you can swap to your alternative weapons with a press of the fire button.¢¢ Dead enemies may also leave behind extra points or fuel (which must never reach zero if you want to complete your mission).¢¢ As far as games go, Kult is pretty addictive. The graphics are well drawn (although high resolution, i.e. black and white), and the in-game sound is fine.¢¢ I suggest that you buy Kult while Tiger have available stocks. Although not quite as good as Zybex, it could certainly provide you with a worthwhile alternative.¢¢¢SOFWARE SCENE RATING:¢¢GRAPHICS..........70%¢SOUND.............69%¢GAMEPLAY..........78%¢VALUE FOR MONEY...80%¢¢OVERALL...........78%¢
