Alien Rampage

 



Fun Factor:
Medium fun, medium difficulty, would recommend if it’s on sale. 

Graphics: 

The character sprites, levels, and gore are all pretty sick looking and one of the game’s biggest selling points in my opinion. I would recommend turning up the gamma levels in the options menu to make the colors pop a bit more, the game will still look “dark and gritty” so don’t worry.


Music:

There is no music lmao, and to quote every single video game reviewer in modern times “AND THAT’S A GOOD THING!” seriously though, I just opened up some heavy metal instrumental only music in the background and it worked out perfectly.


Controls: 

A bit old school feeling, but nothing to complain about.


Some guy was talking about not being able to get his XBOX 360 controller to work, literally just hit Ctrl+F1 to bring up the DOSBox menu to map the keyboard buttons to your XBOX 360 controller or any controller.


Or better yet use JoyToKey, here’s my set up, adjust accordingly.


POV Up: Up Arrow

POV Right: Right Arrow

POV Down: Down Arrow

POV Left: Left Arrow

Button 1: R-Ctrl - Jump

Button 2: Tab - Weapons Cycle

Button 3: R-Alt - Shoot

Button 7: Escape - Back

Button 8: Space - Pause

Button 12: Y - Yes To Quit
