Our take on BlowOut

The 10-level structure concentrates play on direct combat, but limits the campaign's scope and leaves less room for extended exploration than a longer, more open-ended game.

What is BlowOut?

Play as Major John “Dutch” Cane and lead a platoon of mercenary commandos through a space station overrun by mutated alien parasites.

The objective is to eliminate the threat before it reaches the station’s control center. The game has 10 side-scrolling action levels. Players can break through walls, ceilings, and floors to uncover secrets and power-ups, and choose from weapons including a pump-action shotgun, flamethrower, plasma rifle, machine gun, and nail gun. Firing covers a 360-degree range. Enemies include 14 types of mutated creatures, from beasts to alien insects.
