Interesting ideas, falls a bit short

Worth checking out for the sheer novelty of its visual design and lore. You just don't get games that are this weird and abstract anymore. The gameplay can get a bit trial-and-error, especially in the later levels, and it will usually take more than one try to get through a mission but if a couple of retries aren't enough to break your resolve then it ultimately ends up being a pretty fun game. And one that also has a few interesting gameplay features to offer, so it's not just a brainless third-person shooter. It will take some thinking and timing to figure out how to complete certain objectives.

OLD AND GOLD

Oh dear, when i first got this game back in...I dont remember when, it was on a CD in a magazine, and it was the game on the cover no less. I beat it then, i beat it now, and gonna beat it again in the future. I only wish it were a bit longer, and that it would be possible to level up everything a bit easier, but still, it's solid. The graphics are good for it's release time, the gameplay overall is solid. The AI-companions are a bit dumb sometimes, but eh, what can you expect from a game this old. It's still enjoyable today, is all I can say.

Mixed bag

There are definitely things to love about this one so I think I'll start with some of that before getting into the reasons my rating is so low. It genuinely is cool to witness your soldiers gradually change appearance based on which genetic mutations you choose and there is a charming mix of simplicity and strategy to that element. Throughout this you are gathering genetic material by killing enemies (as well as the indigenous life that you were sent to protect. Oops). You use it to grant your soldiers a variety of abilities & weapons so if you kill something fast you can move faster something that fires a cannon you get that cannon etc. Some of them get creative and fun. You can get the ability to spew mucus which sticks to anything it touches whether living or dead and it can be set on fire by you or the enemies you kill to get the flamethrower. Just be very careful that it doesn't hit one of the soldiers. I do wish that it made complete sense to, as it seems the game encourages you try, actually evolve them in completely different directions. But there is at least one level where you will need a decent variety rather than hyper focus. And it's fairly late in the game. That segues nicely into the other negatives the level design can get frustrating and uninspired. The gameplay loop is a tiny bit too tedious despite how often it grants you new abilities. While the setup of saving the natural life of the various planets you visit does immediately get you on board with what you are sent to do as already mentioned you will yourself be killing a lot of it like literally you cannot complete this without killing a bunch of it for its genetic material. I don't know how they overlook this while making it. I mean heck at least Just Cause 3 has a throwaway line about “don't worry about the stuff you destroy cause we can always rebuild”, acknowledging the silliness of combining liberation and chaotic destruction. And that was already commenting on US foreign policy.

A special game

This one of those games that just the conpect of makes me very happy to play. The idea of being able to muate your charactes to do things like flamethrower, gun-hand, turn invisable and so on is just so cool. The game also has a nice setting of an ailen world, with odd fauna and flora, even the little noises the creatures make. Truely this is a wonderful small game that deserve more recognition and I would totally reccomend

Couldn't get into it

Seems like a interesting idea, but the gameplay was slow and unengaging and I wasn't bothered past the first couple of missions.
