Doom Troopers: The Mutant Chronicles
Dumb TroopersGenre: action - gun
Publisher: Playmates Interactive
Year: 1995
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Much improved compared to the SNES game. Movement is fast but enemies are hard to avoid making the game very difficult. And not in a "that was hard let me try again" way. Instead it's a "what the heck is hitting me" deal. Very limited ammo. Hard to aim. Have to jump and angle weird to hit enemies. Horrendous hit detection.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Boring levels (just go right) for a looong time. Looks and feels like a soul-less Earthworm Jim. Cheap enemy placement. Weird, obscure design choices like killing an enemy creates a temporary platform in a river that is otherwise a bottomless pit. First boss cannot be beat. No idea how to get past the first bloody level.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Space bruh Excessive gore is the only real selling point
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Nice animations but washed out, drab colors and weird sprites Apes DKC (see what I did there?) with prerendered graphics but looks like terrible claymation instead. Performance is much improved over the SNES version.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
A couple of nice tracks but even the good ones are composed of the Genesis burps and farts.
Overall Score: 41
