SOS: SPECIAL OPERATIVE STORIES

This game is hard as hell. If S.O.S. had a spirit animal it would be a well hung Rhinocerus. Nothing will prepare you for getting repeatedly impaled by its mighty horn. If you're into this kind of thing then keep reading. S.O.S. is a callback to the coin op arcade style games of the 80’s, when games were less forgiving and designed by super nerds out to take your lunch money. The game's narrative, driven by the stories of a lonely old man kept me feeling like sh*t was about to hit the fan. And ohhhh boy did fans get hit. So just about right for being a secret agent. That being said you will reach save points after each completed mission. I got vibes of the original Metal Gear and Spy Hunter. The atmosphere, script and gameplay made me feel like I was in an 80’s spy movie and I felt like a secret agent. I did my best to sneak by enemy guard patrols and I killed/subdued enemies when needed. I found it cool how guards patrol their bases with a mix of predetermined and random paths and will react to any suspicious activity. Even when nothing is happening, I felt like the situation could get real bad real quick. This game had me on the edge. So get ready player one, because you’re i…

Holy Crap.... This game is just straight up fun. Just roll around throwing grenades and shooting people. Cant play this game in public because it forces to make crazy meniacle faces from all the mayhem. You can shoot chairs and have them roll around...... Needs to support modding so that someone can make Chair Pong.... Or Breakout with chairs and explosive barrels.

This game is fantastic. From the first moment when you enter the mansion in the rain to when the game goes back in time and you have unlimited ammo to have tons of fun, it's all awesome. It's so cool that companies are doing what they know people will love to play. Wonderful game.

boom foosh padadada pow pow BOOM

The beginning is promising, with over the top action and the realization that you don't have just unlimited ammo for the gun, even grenades are infinite. There is a sub-boss whose gimmick is moving quite fast (he's even called Sgt. Swift) and the solution is, you guessed right, a nice chain of explosions. It's framed as the player character narrating his adventures to a grandson, so in case of death, restarting from the nearest checkpoint is "retelling". Issues, however, start to pile up almost immediately. Haphazard placement of objects and obstacles. Imprecise aiming. Cursor sometimes disappearing. Messy gameplay (you can't always tell what killed you). Iffy collisions. Pixel art that is simple but decent at first and then gets worse, with terrible choices of colors. Lots of bugs, up until the one where I was killed by what I presume was the boss of the first episode, and the key to "retell" didn't work anymore. Sad to see any potential evaporate, screen after screen.

Hello! I had a big problem in the game. With the passage of episode 1, where I have to shoot for 70 seconds, and when a car comes with a person, the game takes off for me, and this happens every time. I do not know what could be the problem. Help
