Blake Stone: Planet Strike


A direct sequel to the last game this keeps a ton of the same game play but changes some elements around while adding new ones. The game is built using the wolf 3d frame work so graphics are limited by that. While not nearly as impressive as doom 2 that came out the same month. This game counters with more advanced game play. included in the new additions are crushers auto map is moved to the status bar with the option to zoom in. the game also features re drawn guard sprites instead of the human ones used in the last game. Also the game includes a new missile style weapon that can destroy doors and hidden actors. the level exit procedure is also changed instead of hunting for a red key card to operate the elevator you need to find a bomb on each level to destroy a security cube. kept from the previous game "reba" provides messages on attackers and other minor functions. the status bar is more cluttered than the last game. the only other thing that would detract is the fact that the game keeps score unlike doom witch dropped arcade style score keeping for mission stats. But this is still an excellent game to play. currently the game is sold by GOG.com and will be on apogees new store.
