Instead of reviewing and old game I have decided to review a mod for an old game. The Age of Evil mod for Duke Nukem 3D - Atomic Edition 1.5. This will also be my first 3D person shooter review.
Welcome to the Age of Evil…
Gameplay
3D game, move all around. You also get things like Jetpacks and some kind of drug that makes you go really fast. There is also this thing called the shrinker which shrinks your entire body and makes it easier for enemies to squish you, this can also be reversed with you being the one of the upper foot.
Characters
Chris Quinn- The mentally unstable, thus very popular, hero of this tale. He goes around slaughtering people who he thinks are gun totting maniacs but in reality they are just simply bounty hunters trying to make a living. He resided in an insane asylum that had a total of 5 patients. He enjoys flowers and long meaningful walks on the beach.
Ben Croshaw- The main antagonist of the story. Croshaw stalks Quinn throughout the game with his snarly British accent. Every time Quinn kills a bounty hunter, Croshaw makes a sly remark. Every time Quinn tries to find a secret door, Croshaw makes a smart arse comment. Not only that, he also plays “House of Fun” throughout the entire asylum simply because he is pure evil. If Quinn wasn’t insane before he came to the asylum then he certainly is now. In the end it turns out that Croshaw is Quinn’s secret alter ego or something really lame like that.
Sarah Wright- The damsel in distress. She is who Quinn is looking for despite him never knowing her or even seeing her. In Quinn’s mind she is the perfect woman. In everyone else’s she is the woman who has fuzzy hair, who ate her parents with ketchup.
Rob Blanc- A man with no equal in terms of savagery and cunning. He is a former solder that went insane during one of his routine patrols when he found out that his entire squad was murdered. The problem is that his squad was not murdered, they had simply chosen to stay at the base while Blanc went on a wild goose chance. He was relieved of his post at Bonn and transferred to an insane asylum where he plots to kill everyone in the entire world using only his teeth.
Paul Grewald- A random bum they authorities pulled off the streets in order to fill the last vacancy. He is pretty harmless except that he eats rats. So he is harmless to humans but not to rats.
Enemies
Guys with shotguns are the main bad guys. For some reason they have red eyes and pale skin, this has led me to the conclusion that they spend their entire time in doors playing video games. The rest of the enemies are rare and can take a little more damage but are basically the same.
Storyline
There is none. It is all mindless, endless slaughter. I love it when game designers and porn directors stop the crap and get right down to business.
Events
Quinn looks himself in the mirror, pondering the questions that keep him up at night, like if there is going to be milk tomorrow at launch.
Conclusion
There is no conclusion, there is only mindless, endless slaughter.
