Review of 'Martianoids'

Rating:2 User: Matt_B

Yet another game from the declining era of Ultimate, this fails to reach their previous heights by some margin.

Presented in pseudo-isometric fashion, this game fails to get the perspective right and consequently looks a bit amateurish after the likes of Knight Lore, Alien 8 and Gunfright.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is no better. It's a tedious protect-em-up with neither particularly frantic action or the sort of puzzles that characterized games such as Knight Lore or Alien 8.

Definitely not one of the games Ultimate's legend was built on, this is probably best avoided.
