![]() ![]() ![]() The levels end up being very large in scale and loads of secrets hidden throughout levels. Actually managing all three things turns it into a completely different game, because you get to have options you really don't have in a lot of other shooters at all.Īnother cool thing about this game is the sheer scale of the game thanks to the Painkiller engine. Mixing up ranged, close combat and magic attacks really speeds up the game. Once you get the claw, you start learning new spells, ranging from fire, Ice to poison needles and projectiles, all of which use mana. Problem is that the game never explains these mechanics at all and there's no way of figuring out how this system works unless you're actually willing to sit down and figure it out on your own like a gaijin playing a Japanese game while being completely nihon-illiterate. ![]() The expansion adds new weapons like the Blood flare gun and a spiked rod. With positional damage and different weapon stats, you can mix things up, ultimately becoming a real killing machine. You got your might boots, bayonets, small throwing knives, clubs, an almighty vampire claw that turns into a combine harvester when dealing with crowds, an akimbo weapon dynamic mixing melee and ranged weapons and a pretty good selection of weapons.Ĭomplimenting that (sort of) is the flawed but really fun combo mechanic that builds up two bars one is the yellow meter for bullet time and sprinting (also used to replenish health if you're under 25%) and the combo meter that builds up with different types of kills. Some of my favorite things about this game are the melee and close range combat mechanics. ![]() Obviously, it has loads of silly issues and doesn't give a very good first impression in early chapters, but once you beat the first major boss of the game and get the claw weapon, the game dynamics change completely. Personally, I consider this to be next successor to Duke 3D after SiN. Since it's the centenary of The Great War, I decided to come back to this game. Since there's been some Duke and Wolf talk, I thought I'd go back to one of my favorite games, Necrovision. ![]()
