About the game
You play a succession of action movie parodies, each with a different weapon and special attack. Your squad shoots through enemy positions, frees prisoners and tries to reach the escape helicopter. Almost every wall and patch of ground can be destroyed. A barrel can clear a room, but the same explosion might remove your route out of it.
Up to four players share the fight online or on one device. Rescuing a prisoner can bring a dead teammate back, so staying alive long enough to reach a cage helps the group recover. Short levels give you another attempt quickly. Random character changes and collapsing scenery keep everyone adjusting, and helping your friends can turn into accidentally burying them. The GOG version supports local play but no longer supports online multiplayer.
How it feels
Kind of game
A group of friends, loose goals and a lot of messing around. Failing is part of the fun, and the best moments are the ones nobody planned.
