Our take on Watergate Xtreme
Its defining mechanic is simultaneous control of two moving elements: the fighter and a remote bomb. That split attention turns each maze encounter into a coordination challenge, with attacks requiring players to manage their own position and the bomb's position at the same time.
What is Watergate Xtreme?
Watergate Xtreme is a multiplayer action game set in top-down mazes.
Each player controls a character and a remote-controlled bomb at the same time, using both to attack opponents. Matches support up to four participants, either with friends or computer-controlled characters filling the remaining places. The game includes eight playable characters and eight levels. Its control scheme requires managing movement and bomb positioning simultaneously, creating a demanding test of coordination. An 8-bit soundtrack accompanies the matches, with about five songs included. The game also includes Watergate-related trivia, including facts about figures such as G. Gordon Liddy.
