If you are remotely interested in explosions, chaos and death, then Renegade Ops is the game for you. It gives off that G.I Joe vibe as soon you press start, with an extremely cheesy story that takes you to a few different locales around the globe. All the while, you'll be tasked with destroying just about everything around you. And you'll love it.
Renegade Ops plays a lot like your typical top down dual stick shooter and it does it brilliantly. It instantly reminded me of an old Konami arcade game called Jackal, where you control a little jeep and rescue prisoners of war. There's so much in common between both games that the first level 'Ops has you saving civilians that were captured by an enemy general.
Also, similarly to Jackal, the difficulty is way up there in this game. Even on the easiest setting, you're gonna need to be mindful of enemies and obstacles along the way. It's a good thing there are so many options to pick from in terms of weapon power-ups and character customization. There are a handful of team members to pick from, each with their own set of strengths. I mostly stuck with the artillery barrage chick, for obvious reasons. Hey, I like my girls well armed.
Anyway, if things get too hard, you can always bring a friend or three along for the ride. And if things weren't chaotic enough when playing by yourself, prepare to be bombarded in multiplayer.
Seriously, this game has some brilliant explosion effects. In fact, the entire game is beautiful to look at. Even though the story is carried out in the already cliché 'moving comic' style, it's very well drawn and thanks to a cheese ball cast of voice actors, even if you don't follow the logical minefield of a story, you'll get a chuckle or two out of their performances.
I absolutely loved this game through and through. It's just difficult enough to be rewarding but don't expect a walk in the park if you decide to tackle hardcore mode, where you'll need to be on your toes at every corner if you want any hope you making it to the end. Renegade Ops is easily one of the best downloadable shooters around, period. |10
