The visual style is somewhat contradictory here... | Weapon of Choice

<english>
The visual style is somewhat contradictory here - blurry textures of acid colors like they were painted by children combined with crisp image outlines, interesting sprites & spectacular effects. You can often see several font styles on a screen, sometimes hard to read. It's not very pleasing to my eye but surely corresponds the feeling of being on another planet. The engine works fine on a weak laptop and it's got cool features like complex weapon mechanics, climbing walls with robotic spider hands, object interaction physics, automatic bullet time when a character's death is close. The only gripe from me is that you can't scorch the flora with a flamethrower - plants shake when you touch'em but stay indestructible in a fiery hurricane.

There are no lives, just several chars who could be delivered to the place by rocket, and we can enlarge their numbers by saving new ones in the process. Everyone's got his own favorite gun with 2 action modes & special moves on doublejump. The bestiary gives me creeps, they made some really cool monsters! There's also a non-linear story, some choices may exclude certain levels from your playthrough. With the amount of random interactions which could happen during a fight, I think it offers enough replayability. All in all I recommend you to try this just for its originality, in this old genre we don't get much unusual stuff.
