INTRO: Stop me if you’ve heard this
before: you play a tough combat engineer named Seth Walker. You’re of course
in outer space, and your job is to save the earth from countless hordes of
enemy aliens. You’re the only hope to save the world and blah blah so on.
Join me as we play every space alien game ever made!

GAMEPLAY:

The crazy thing here is that this game actually exists. Is it the worst
game you could play? Absolutely not. But with that being said, this game was
greenlit by executives and deemed to be worth releasing, and that’s what I
find strange. There is absolutely nothing going on in this game that sets it
apart from any other game like it that I’ve encountered in the last decade
or so. Everything is familiar, and nothing is good enough to stand on its
own. The enemies are stupid as can be, as they just stand in the open and
fire aimlessly. They’re not very scary, original, or challenging, like the
rest of the game.

The game is short, thankfully only running about 10 hours long. You stay
on your ship, the Alexander for the game’s entire play time. I can’t detail
a lot about the gameplay because there just isn’t much to say. You pick up
your gun, and blast many, many aliens. When they die, they drop parts which
allow you to slowly upgrade your weapons. It takes forever to update your
stuff, and everything is just so dull. You can also make the choice to
upgrade your body with cybernetic parts. This sounds cool and the game
promotes it like it makes a big deal. It hardly registers, even if you go
‘full robot’ (thank you, Tropic Thunder), it still doesn’t make much
difference at all. I am actually not even sure if the game recognizes that
you’ve done it. Here’s another kicker- you can’t even move and shoot at the
same time. Brutal stuff.

Gameplay: 4/10

GRAPHICS:

Graphics are absolutely average in terms of character models, and
terrible in terms of environments. I say that only because you essentially
play the game in one giant hallway with almost no change to the environment.
The textures are dull and gray and never go away. Occasionally the lighting
will change and tint the room a different color, but that’s the best you’ll
get. It all gets really monotonous after awhile and makes the game seem
longer in a bad way.

Graphics: 5/10

AUDIO:

Sound is decent with an okay score. Sound effects are good too, and the
voice acting works well enough too. Probably the shining star of this game’s
sky.

Audio: 7/10

FINAL VERDICT:

Ultimately this game won’t even register as a blip on the radar. If you
can, fire it up and beat it relatively quickly. The action is okay, but the
AI is stupid and the environments are sorely lacking. The whole upgrade
system and cybernetic thing is really disappointing too. Even the game’s
title is bland. Check it out if you really are interested, but I don’t
recommend it.

Final Score:
6/10
