This is one of the coolest game I’ve ever seen, keyword: Seen.
I’ve been told plenty of times “Dude you should play StarFox” but I’m always like “No thanks dude I’m already full of dogshit today” but no more, today I’ve decided to play Red Alarm, and I’m not sure what type of animal an Alarm is.
I’m gonna be frank with you, I only finished one stage of this game I’m a fake Virtual Boyer I’m sorry, maybe if this game had infinite continues I would but I don’t feel like retrying it over and over just to add this to my work resume.
So from what I played it seems that we are a Spaceship and we kill a lot of people, everything is red so I’m guessing it’s a metaphor for genocides because who told you that Virtual boy games couldn’t be deep and have 3 hours long video essays about them. Gameplay wise it’s what you’d expect in a StarFox type game, the only difference is that you are stationary at all time and the game somewhat lets you roam free in each stages even though they are just straight corridors until you get to the dogshit boss room.
Dogshit boss rooms! Yeah that’s my least favourite part of the game it’s already hard to move around and the first boss keeps moving from side to side it’s a bitch to find him sometimes cause the field of rendering is small as fuck in this game, it’s like a ps1 fog but instead of fog it’s the void from Final Fantasy 5.
The red is an issue even though it’s part of the brand, red alarm like yeah ring the fucking bell there’s red EVERYWHERE, I can’t tell the difference from a fucking space rocket and a power up or a wall to an enemy but I think it really plays in the whole “The player is evil and committing a genocide” shtick like move over Spec ops we got a new deep game in town.
One last weird thing I noticed is that there’s a “NINTENDO VIRTUAL BOY” logo flashing all over the screen every 5 second as if the game was some shutterstock footage, I think they knew nobody would buy this console and everyone in future would pirate it for emulation, jokes on them nobody wants it.
