Gameplay

[edit]

In the game, the player can select between seven "operatives", which are the characters controlled throughout the playthrough. The skills vary depending on the character chosen to play.[1]

Development

[edit]

Weapon of Choice was developed by Nathan Fouts, who previously was with Insomniac Games.[2] The composer was Hamdija Ajanovic and the writer was AJ Johnson.[2] The game was developed during the period of one year.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Christopher Troilo from Avault gave the game three stars out of five, stating that "If you require something with a little more depth and thought, I still think you should give it a try, but that’s probably all you’ll need to satisfy your curiosity".[4] Kieron Gillen from Eurogamer gave it a score of 7 out of 10, complimenting the graphic style as "hyperactive amateurish-yet-charming" and stating that it was "a run-and-gun that chooses to step back from the difficulty cliff and just show all the gleeful nonsense its managed to think up." Both reviewers compared the game to Contra.[1] Brad Gallaway of GameCritic's praised the game saying its "a clear love of the genre it builds upon".[5]
