By and large though, you’ll be running while you’re gunning. Darius is certainly capable of cowering behind a nearby crate, and at times he is even forced to do so.

The big difference between the action here and what you get in Gears is the absence of a cover mechanic. There are only a handful of alien “types” that you’ll encounter, but there’s enough variation within those types - not to mention some fun environments to stage your battles in - to keep each encounter feeling fresh. There’s a lot of busywork as he fights to keep the people of Mars safe from an alien threat of his own (inadvertent) creation, but most of the time, the only thing standing between you and the next checkpoint is a small army of slavering creatures. Squashing aliens is pretty much the sole focus of Darius’ adventure. It almost… looks… like… Gears of War.Īrmageddon definitely benefits in the change, and in the comparison. Fans of the previous game will notice that the camera sits much closer to this Mason this time around, just behind his shoulder and set off slightly to the right. The highly destructible playgrounds returns in Amrageddon, but they dazzle from a very different perspective this time. The unfolding story gets increasingly ridiculous as it develops, up to and including a nonsensical conclusion, but where the story falls short the gameplay is there to save the day. Jump ahead 10 years to the “present” day of 2170 Darius, who still harbors some guilt for the unintended role he played in the terraformer’s destruction, will very soon be responsible once again for a sizable disaster as a race of Martians emerge from the planet’s depths to terrorize one and all. The bad guys win that day and the giant machine is taken out, reversing all of the work done to give Mars a more habitable atmosphere and sending the local population down to live in the caves below the surface.

The action actually starts 40 years after the previous game, with a prologue set during a terrorist assault on the Mars terraformer. Players step into the role of Darius Mason, grandson of Guerilla‘s protagonist and a formidable warrior in his own right. Armageddon picks up 50 years after the events of the previous game.
