Wrath of The Sea King
Basically, in almost all rooms you have to find a way to exit. Simple, in words. The facts are different. On each screen, you will be faced with varied challenges, often very creative and original: sometimes you simply have to kill everything in sight; some others you must solve puzzles; other times, only your reflexes will save you from devilish traps. In the last part of Scene II, there's a choice between three different paths, each with completely different challenges. Once in a while, you'll also meet strange bosses. And, in the so-called "swarm stages" (screens full of monsters to kill), you can use a Robotron-style control - Dust can walk in a direction and fire at another, by using the numeric keypad. The presence of the twisted minds of Hellbent Deathspew and Co. as game designers is unquestionable ;)
For a game made with Game Factory, this is surely a beauty. Dust is only a small bunch of pixels, but he moves on wonderful backgrounds, and he often makes Duke Nukem-esque comments. Cutscenes are great too. And, of course, there's the usual gory humor, a Bloodlust trademark. Having unlimited lives (he's an immortal, after all), reaching the final confrontation with the Sea King doesn't take too much time. But, the less times you die, the more you will be rewarded, being able to see the entire ending - and, believe me, it's worth the effort. The real challenge is finding the way of dying the less possible times. So, very good replay value. One of the best Bloodlust games, and a good reason to wait for their further releases. Thumbs Up!
