but that doesn't make this a bad game. If you are looking for a game with complicated skill tree, gameplay that requires refined strategy, excellent plot, great graphics, this isn't for you, certainly. However, if you are like me, who just wants to spend some time in a small town, wander around, get some exciting races when bored, then chill out, have a bowl of noodles perhaps, get a burger, earn your money and enter the next stage..... this is your best choice. Every scene/object/character is hand-drawn, no copy n' paste, no fancy combat (but the race is well designed and fun to play), no long and complicated plot, just you and a town, you and a bike, you and the Desert Child.
it definitely brings a blast of fun that DOOM didn’t: it has a faster tempo, it has more bloody scenes, it has unlimited bullets for submachine gun…… there’s definitely a lot of fun However, to fully experience its charm, if you are a modern gamer like me who only played games like COD, Farcry, CSGO, etc., you must tweak your “logic” in the game; if you don’t, your experience would be a little painful You CANNOT dodge bullets. In modern shooting games, you can rely on sprinting or rolling to dodge the bullets, but in older games like ROTT, the gunshots are not avoidable. The enemies see you, they shoot, you take damage. To prevent this, there are two ways: you either don’t let them see you, or you don’t let them shoot. The former could be done by using the corners and walls to ambush, so your enemies cannot see you, kill then when they walk out The latter could be done by shooting them faster than they could react, putting them in a state of “shot” (it’s an animation where they are getting shot and in that moment they are unable to attack) Anyway, just keep in mind you cannot dodge the bullets and your experience would get much better
There's a period when I am looking for a solid, exciting, fast-paced hack n' slash game, DRM free, on GOG, because DMC is a blast of fun to me. I desperately want to find a game that could bring similar fun. None of the games could do that, except for this one. If you want to fight through waves of enemies, with incredible techniques and fluent actions (maybe also with a cute anime girl), this is worth your money. (to be honest, that's what I want when I bought this game) However, if you have a high standard for something more ---- I mean, literally ANYTHING more than combat, like music, graphic, story...... Man, this probably isn't that suitable for you. I give a 4 because the game is pure fun to play, period. It's simple, perhaps a little repetitive, but is not broken, and is perfect if you want a game with good hack n' slash design. Plus, it's DRM free. Pretty hard to find another game that imitates DMC in such a decent way. Surprisingly, this game does.
