Basically my same thoughts on Chex Quest 1 but applied to a city setting. Nothing much more too it, great lil shooter
I think that everyone had this game as a kid. Great times!
mmm yummy chex cereal
As with the first one, probably better than it has any right to be. You're on the Chex guy's home planet this time, which is of course a cute parallel with DOOM II, and this allows the devs to once again showcase their biggest strength from the original - solid level design. Wish it was longer!
A bit better than the first, I think the city levels look awesome and overall felt a bit more interestingly designed. Still nothing incredible, but it's hard not to like it!
Fun fact: Chex Quest 2 manages to make waaaay better city levels on the Doom engine than Doom II.
Well i finished the first Chex Quest a couple hours ago, and i was so hyped that i had to get my hands on it's sequel right away. It's pretty obvious to me how these levels are heavily influenced by Duke Nukem 3D -which was released almost 2 years prior-, not only because they are city-themed, but also because how it incorporates some jokes around pop culture references.
Map design gets a bit more complex here, from map 3 onwards, but still pretty fun overall. How do you make a 90's fps feels even more like a 90's fps? Simple: you add a sewers level. And that's what the final level of this one is. The only level i didn't enjoyed, but at least it manages to give you a nice boss fight that resembles the fight with the two barons of hell from Knee Deep in the Dead.
