Similar to Descent this uses hovercrafts (many are available
to be chosen all with different abilities) on a hunt for gold. Earth has
been rendered largely uninhabitable by an explosion caused by a bungled
experiment. Few would dare to brave its unstable and searing environments
- only those determined to grab a little of its remaining gold. You are one
of those, taking your hover-bike into disintegrating caverns for a few
hours of dangerous work which, successful or not, will be your last. It has
super graphics, and is less complicated than Descent. There are diverse
levels, but unfortunately the degree of difficulty is not particularly
well-balanced in parts. Level 3 on account of a time limit is one of
the most difficult ones. Each level has a defined exit which must be
reached within a tight time limit. The surrounding areas are collapsing
around you, with spikes and turbine fans among your hazards. The
singleplayer-mode has four difficulty modes: easy, normal, hard and total
mayhem. Each has progressively stronger enemies and less ammo to spare.
There are 15 levels which have to be completed by the player — sometimes
within a time limit — and occasionally include a huge end-boss against which
the player must exhaust a fair amount of ammunition while dodging excessive
retaliatory fire. In order to complete a mission, different efforts must be
made by the player such as finding the exit or activating triggers to open
locked doors. There are six different types of multiplayer games: Free For
All (deathmatch), Team Game, Capture The Flag, Flag Chase, Bounty Hunt, and
Team Bounty Hunt. Cool game.
Forsaken was featured as a comic book series published by Acclaim Comics
shortly after its release.
