Description
Genocide is a side-scrolling platform shooter like Abuse that allows you to move and shoot across 360 degrees. This version features a completely redesigned, true-color DirectX game engine (no 3D accelerator card required), all-new graphics, stereo sound, and multiresolution play support.
Review
Adding an interesting new dimension to the side-scrolling shooter, Genocide delivers plenty of fast-firing action in a cyborg-laden world. Using a mouse/keyboard combo, you can fire 360 degrees around your character as you navigate a complex labyrinth. Using both input devices at once can be tricky at first, but all the controls are configurable, so you can create a setup you're comfortable with. The initial play of the demo is surprisingly difficult, even in Easy mode, and you'll likely have to restart several times as you're learning. Although the game's low-res graphics aren't much to look at, Genocide's enthralling mix of all-angle shooting and maze exploration make it a unique download that's worth a try.
