Desert Breaker Arcade
27Set in the futuristic year of 2012, high-tech machinery have been developed and made available in the battlefield. A terrorist group of unknown origin managed to get their hands on the latest batch of millitary technology and are mass-producing it in their base, and it's up to you to stop them.
You get different objectives in each level which essentially equate to “reach the end of the level and blow up the boss.” You get four different weapons with which to do this: The machine gun, the flamethrower, the spread gun, and the comparatively rarer acid launcher. They can be powered up by finding P icons on the ground, and you also get a bomb meter which you can build by collecting medals. The more you collect, the more damaging your bomb blast is when you unleash.
You also get a dash button that allows you to rush across the screen with a temporary window of invincibility, essentially acting as a dodge function. You’ll also occasionally find vehicles to help you, most of which are required like jet skis and snow machines; you also get an absolutely worthless and optional walker vehicle with an attack that barely hits enemies most of the time, but at least it takes damage for you.
As per Mercs, you only have one lifebar that can be shredded rather quickly by all the tanks and big bosses you face, like the chopper at the end of the first level that you fight on a perpetually falling chunk of bridge. There are a few other awesome setpieces, like blowing everything up on a gigantic enemy aircraft and jumping all around its wings and cargo bays.
An interesting gimmick not found in other titles is that you get to pick a specific segment of the stage map to plan for an assist bombing.
Whichever part you pick will be raided by friendly planes and nuke everything in sight while you completely survive a carpet bombing, much to the enemy’s detriment. Don’t analyze it and just take for granted you’re awesome enough to survive that. There are some areas where this feature is more desirable than others (particularly those where mid-boss tanks appear), but you won’t know which segments are most effective until you’ve played the game a few times.
The game support 2 player co-op for double action fun.
