Apatros Action 52 Masochist: Chapter 28 - Underground

1 year ago

This is a rather unusual style of platformer where the player is in a series of tunnels where they have to fight Viet Cong soldiers [represented by giant diagonal heads] & killer birds. The enemy sprites have infinite respawns so the player's only primary objective is to simply get from one end of the level to the other. Killing the enemies only adds to the score & this can be mined for as long as possible.

As I state in this video, this game seems to be an [perhaps unintentionally but who knows what was going through the minds of the original Action 52 Dev team] 8-bit NES representation of the Vietnam War, particularly the tunnel combat that the war was infamous for.

My Grade: D [Bad]
