Alex Jones: NWO Wars

Alex Jones: NWO Wars is a retro-inspired side-scrolling action game developed and published by NWO Wars Team. Rather than presenting a conventional military shooter or science-fiction adventure, it embraces a deliberately exaggerated premise built around conspiracy theories, satire, and internet humor. The game makes no attempt to appeal to everyone, instead focusing on players who enjoy old-school arcade gameplay mixed with absurd storytelling and tongue-in-cheek references. Its commitment to this unusual concept gives it a distinctive identity that separates it from many indie action titles, even if its subject matter is bound to be polarizing. At its core, the game delivers classic run-and-gun gameplay reminiscent of arcade favorites from previous decades. Players fight through a variety of side-scrolling stages filled with enemies, environmental hazards, and fast-paced combat encounters that reward sharp reflexes and constant movement. The controls are intentionally simple, allowing newcomers to jump into the action without a lengthy learning process while still offering enough challenge for experienced players. As the campaign progresses, enemy patterns become more demanding,…

This game was actually way more fun than it had any right to be. The dialogue is hilarious and it actually plays like a really bada$$ arcade game. Even if you aren't political it plays like a really fun, comedy Arcade game! The music was actually really awesome as well!

At it's most fundamental level, Alex Jones: NWO Wars is a Metal Slug clone. And a pretty solid one in terms of looks and feel. The controls are tight and reponsive, the visual effects are visceral (the animations on anything that gets blown up are amazing) and the sound design is nice and chunky. The humor is of course, a main selling point, and seeing Alex Jones taking an array of liberal political leaders in the form of mutated monstrosities is so out there it's probably worth playing just for that. There were a couple of Alex quips that actually made me laugh out loud, and whoever the actor is playing Tucker Carlson has the best Tucker Carlson impression I think I've ever heard. However, as a game, it's good but not spectacular. As I mentioned previously, it nails the look and feel of a proper metal slug game, but there are a few real misses in the details of that. There are only two weapon power ups you can find, the Machinegun and the flamethrower; and the flamethrower is locked to one mission. Where's the rocket launcher? Where's the shotgun or the grenade launcher or the laser? I feel like just a little more variety in power ups would have gone a long way for this game. It…

Political stuff aside, this is actually a pretty funny little platformer. I understand that the $17.76 price is supposed to be symbolic, but considering the entire game can be beaten in about 30 minutes, it feels less like a game and more like an overpriced MAGA souvenir you'd find in Trump Tower shop. That said, the game itself is surprisingly solid. No bugs, no lag, no technical issues whatsoever. The platforming is simple but enjoyable, and the absurdity of the whole thing gave me a few good laughs. The highlight is probably the Epstein Island level, where you rescue children from pedos. You can even meet Trump himself, and hearing him say "I'm here to protect the babies" is funny as hell, especially after all Epstein files drama. Whether buying this supports Trump or not is a debate I honestly don't care about. I bought it because the concept was ridiculous and I wanted to see what it was like. Overall: a funny 30-minute experience, but definitely overpriced for what you're getting. 5/10

I feel dirty after playing this monstrosity of an afterbirth that laughably calls itself a platformer. The reviews were almost universally positive, likely Alex Jones supporters donating to his bankruptcy fun. Put aside the subject matter, its a crap game. One of the worst 2D platformers I've encountered - its a Metal Slug wannabe, with only the ability to shoot left, right, up and down. No angled shots. Ridiculously easy gameplay with NINE lives, so presents no challenge and there's infinite bullets. The voice lines of Alex are genuine, but the first boss is 'Virgin Billionaire' Bill Gates, saying he's going to lower population by spreading COVID. I need to shower after requsting a refund, and purging this from my library history. If there'd been ANY decent gameplay to justify the OUTRAGEOUS price, I might have been charitable and not left a review. But this is a turd stinker.
