It doesn’t help that the entire game is extremely dark covering the excellent graphical details, and considering the fifteen to twenty hour length, additional level variation would’ve been nice.Īs you roam the corridors, separating each level from the next is a bland loading screen and tons of enemies from Imps to Pinky Beasts. Yet, these situations are few and far between, causing most of the game to blur together. These situations stick out in your head, as you’ll be unleashing clip after clip into these foes, and panting afterwards. Upon entering a voice from hell taunts you, before tons of enemies, spawn at once. However, there’s the occasional large room that glows with red light.
