Since we're talking two dimensions, A moves the character left D, right W allows you to jump and S ducks. The setup is more FPS inspired - a WASD keyboard and mouse combo may seem foreign, but it ends up being more responsive than any control pad would ever be. The assumption would be that a standard control pad would be the perfect match or, perhaps as a fall back, simple arrow controls with the obligatory jump and attack buttons. This may seem out of the ordinary for what seems like a standard action game, but let's talk about controls. You're able to forgive what little there is in the form of story because the overall gameplay is so fine-tuned. But it's all that's really needed - you've got your motivation (defeat the evil robot army) and along you go.
And really, that's all there is to the story.
This sequel retains the same bad guy (with a few new ones throw in), but swaps out Noitu Love for a new main character: Xoda Rap. It put you in the role of a superhero main character named Noitu Love, who battles a robot army led by Darnacus Damnation. Yes, there was a previous Noitu Love game developed for the PC a while back (you can grab it for free over at ). You'd have Noitu Love 2 - Devolution.ĭeveloped by Konjak, which is a one-man development studio fronted by Joakim Sandberg, the numbering in the title might throw some gamers off. If all the aforementioned titles could be thrown in a sizable pot, what would you end up with? You'd have in your hands one of the most impressive independent games to come along in some time. By the end of the game you realize you haven't blinked in quite some time and your eyes are red - the sign of an exhausting (albeit an extremely fun) gaming session. Throwing 3D in the mix would almost take something away the cramped quarters and constant push to the right of the screen keep the immediacy of play on the tip of your mind.
Metal Slug, Gunstar Heroes, Viewtiful Joe - there's something truly satisfying about how those games combine 2D with non-stop action.
