Our take on Weapon of Choice DX
The game prioritizes replayable action through branching routes, alternate operatives, and multiple endings. That structure gives up a single, consistent progression path, so players following one fixed sequence may encounter a less predictable campaign.
What is Weapon of Choice DX?
Weapon of Choice DX is a side-scrolling action game about fighting gene-combining alien creatures as the Solus Operatives.
Each playable character has a special weapon with primary and alternative fire modes. Non-linear levels include decisions that alter the route, while rescuing characters adds to the number of playable lives. Death Brushing activates when danger is near, and the Vengeance Missile can retaliate for downed operatives. The Spiderpack lets characters scale walls and attack from different positions. Replaying levels reveals different storylines and distinct endings. The Steam version adds 16:9 widescreen support and Steam Achievements, including a search for MBG pies in each level.
