A BRAZILIAN BOOMER SHOOTER GAME MADE USING THE ID TECH 2 ENGINE! SHOOT, JUMP, EMBARK ON A JOURNEY THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, HELL AND EVEN HEAVEN! SAVE BRAZIL!
The game's core gameplay closely mirrors the classic Quake formula, providing players with a smooth and responsive first-person shooter experience. Wielding a diverse arsenal of weapons, including a quintessential shotgun and "glocks" (a stand-in for the original nailgun), players engage in fast-paced, frenetic combat.
One of the standout aspects of the gameplay is the movement system, which closely follows the fluid and skill-based traversal of the original Quake. Players can utilize techniques like rocket jumping to navigate the levels and access hidden areas, adding an additional layer of depth to the gameplay.
Reviewers praise the game's level design, highlighting the coherent and enjoyable layouts that encourage exploration. As players progress through the 24 stages, the level design becomes increasingly complex and surreal, reflecting the absurdist nature of the overall experience.
While the game starts off relatively accessible, it gradually becomes more challenging, requiring players to employ their Quake-honed skills to overcome the increasing difficulty of the later stages. This upward difficulty curve is seen as a positive aspect, providing a satisfying sense of progression and mastery.
The game's audiovisual presentation is a significant part of its appeal, with reviewers highlighting the "eye-frying" graphics, the "crunchiest, most deep-fried music," and the overall sense of immersion in a surreal, Brazilian-inspired world. The contrast between the visuals and the Quake-based gameplay creates a unique and memorable experience.
