Well, we crash-landed that UFO in the desert and Bubba says he wants to go home. Heck, I don't blame him 'cause there ain't no place like Hickston. But according to my map, we're gonna have to blast our way through jack o' lope farms and a riverboat as well as a brothel 'fore we get home again.

Painful. The gun balancing is poor and/or just plain strange. The hitreg feels like a dice roll. The enemy variety is too low. The level design is exceptionally unintuitive - from puzzles with obscure solutions, to keys you can barely see. When I think of great hidden gems on the Build Engine, I think of Powerslave, not this.
A fun little game that my late BF had introduced me to. The music is hilarious and fun along with the concept of playing as these Hill Billies who are the only ones out there to fight and save the world from an alien invasion!
Beyond this one stream I haven't actually played the game too much. Some of it due to painful memories and also how the music was claimed by some BS third party thanks to YouTube and allowing these crappy claims. Still great fun to play this though and also on GOG you get to download the entire sound track too!

This game suffers purely because of the saturation of great FPS games in the late 90s. Honestly, it's a decent game! The setting is delightfully familiar if you grew up in a small town, and the country humor is silly and fun. The gunplay isn't anything to write home about, especially compared to more successful titles at the time, but it works! Definitely worth checking out if only for the classic 90s shooter vibes.
After getting over how long maps could be compared to other games, it became a good time. It might be harder to hit 100% of your shots, but you get so much ammo that it doesn't really matter. As long as you understand you're supposed to use the shotgun as practically a melee weapon, it clicks with you. I love how hidden some of these keys are, being almost more obscure than secrets in other games, and then in another map they have like 11 secrets, with half of them just being in random plain areas.
Get off ma laaand!

Word of warning I'm attaching some files to this review so you can have a glimpse at how utterly weird this game is. The audio might be fucked up because it hurt my ears so much I had to tone it down as much as I could while I played it. Papa can't lose his noise peepers.
Yeah I have no fucking clue what they were cooking with this. If you ever played Slayers X, imagine that but non functional. Too weird to be taken seriously, too rare to dissapear from the gamer zeitgeist. Multiple times something so weird and stupid happened to me while I was playing I had to second look around me ingame just to be sure I was not hallucinating.
Everything in this beast of a game is designed to either gross you out or make you desperately angry. Buy the ticket, take the ride as they say. The enemy design for the most part is lackluster, with all save for one of them being hitscanners with the same arsenal as you. Special shout out to the bosses being completely incomprehensible. Yes, the things accompanying him are turds. The game expects of you almost complete devotion, punishing you in the most bizarre ways possible if you aren't actively consuming it's crack-based content. You'll be blown to bits by a type of cosmic stupidity fuelled by bothyour own hubris and the developer's.
Did I mention the game also has platforming? On the build engine floatiness, no less.
But even so I find myself thinking...that that was a really cool fps! Definetely not the best Build Engine one, but completely able to perform on the same level of entertainment as Shadow Warrior or Duke Nukem. Everything is there, with "gorgeous" levels that tend to feel close to life and the perfect amount of grease and doodoo. When the going gets good, you can totally get an enjoyable, if deeply weird experience or downright comically painful punishment for not acting like an imbecile alongside it thanks to the atmosphere, straight out of Corona and sound design it has, half maddening screaming and cursing with ear blasting guns and half psychobilly soundtrack with Mojo Nixon and Reverend Horton Heat among others shooting it out the park with some really good hollerings and general crassness. Mojo really left himself go with the original stuff he wrote for the game, absolute psycho shit ranting. Mc Donalds can kiss my butt. I'll forever be thankful for the game for letting me hear Dick talk about something profoundly weird and obscene while shit and farm animals explode everywhere.
A weird beast off a build engine FPS absolutely not made for human consumption yet painfully fun, clearly made with love and a respect for the sources ( RIP Dick Montana ). I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, shit and all and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who wants to feel weird for a couple of hours.
