Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold

This game uses the wolfenstien 3d engine to make what I think is a pretty mediocre shooter. I think that games using an engine as simple as the wolfenstien 3d engine should try to be more simple games but this game kinda tries to be more complex with switches to turn off lasers, enemies can drop coins that you can spend to buy food which you use to heal yourself instead of enemies just dropping med kits, the levels are bigger and more complex with a much greater variety of enemies compared to wolf 3d. The game plays okay today but I think you'd be better off playing something on the doom, build or quake engine if you want something slightly more complex, and if you want a simple 2.5d shooter play wolf 3d, spear of destiny or corridor 7 since those are simple enough to work really well with an engine as basic as the wolf 3d engine.

I hunted for this game for ages! Glad to have finally got it on GOG. It's an oldie and a goodie. I loved playing it the first time through almost 20 years ago!

For its time it's Perhaps THE best FPS game around. The wolfenstein series and Doom or Heretic Don't come close. The only game that was around then that did come close was Rise Of the Triad. Still, it was awesome. I deeply regret that They didn't make another Blake Stone game in the spirit of Doom and ROTT. Sad.

Blake stone: aliens of gold really struck me down with its gameplay revisited from Wolfstein 3d and colorful graphics and designs. Useless to say its a classic that should be brought at least once in life for all Wolfenstein clone fans out there. Got a few problems though, like scarcity of weapon variety and some repetitiveness ( just like Wolfenstein 3d ) and some enemy types are not exactly fair (can be frustrating). It's not the classical run-of-the-mill shooter, actually requires some thought in order to get through the overabundance of enemies in the levels. So, worth it? yes, as a classic is a must-buy for any retrò fan but for newcomers to the genre? also yes but can de daunting.

just play it and get what i mean!
