Xbox Game Pass Ultimate review. Windows Windows. Most Popular. Set in turn-of-the-century London, the game revolves around two characters who are on a manhunt for the infamous Adam Crowley, a necromancer who is littering the streets with corpses and turning the back alleys into nightmarish playgrounds for his hideous freaks.
Although it sounds like San Francisco on a Friday night, his mutations which include bloated spider things and ravenous werewolves are on a bloody search for victims, and it's up to you to stop them. You play as either Nadia, a sword-wielding she-pirate whose father was killed by Crowley, or Ignatius, a wandering holy man whose existential philosophy apparently allows him to dismember people for getting in his way.
You travel through 16 levels packed with enemies, some out in the open, some hiding and waiting, as you collect power-ups and weapon upgrades to help you defeat four powerful bosses. Along the way, you'll encounter hidden weapons, secret areas, and more red meat than at a Texas barbecue. Nightmare Creatures is hacking and slashing at its best-kind of a Streets of Bloody Rage for the '90s.
With its speedy gameplay and fast-moving enemy interaction, not to mention the intense, creepy nature of the backgrounds, Nightmare Creatures is sure to haunt your dreams for months to come. Great gory gods! Creatures' graphics are precise and to the point pun intended. Although not as detailed as Resident Evil's, they still have some very nice touches.
Even when the sound is absent, it's pretty damn scary. Howling, weird grunts, insectile buzzing, and pitiful moaning all put Creatures' sounds over the top. The constant camera movements sometimes leave you in the lurch, and you must get used to the characters' constant backflipping when you press Down on the joystick. Still, the movements are very natural, and the combos are a breeze to perform.
Creatures is a tough game, but one that rewards you with some nasty gameplay and ferociously wild moves, if you've always wanted to kick evil in the ass, here's the game for you! The streets of 19th century London are running red, and it ain't the stoplights!
Nightmare Creatures is a spooky, gory, hackfest that will leave you screaming for more this October. Graphically, the game could use better detail, but this is a minor annoyance because the intense action more than compensates for the visuals. You can combo enemies, slash them into pieces, or just decapitate a zombie because it looks cool.
Can you say "Mature rating"? In Nightmare Creatures, you play as either Ignatius or Nadia while attempting to solve the mystery that's plaguing London--namely, who is leaving a string of gutted corpses in the streets? You take either character on a wild 3D Tomb Raider-ish ride through misty, eerie back streets and graveyards, hacking and slashing werewolves, spider mutants, and zombies.
The controls are super-smooth--let's hope they remain that way in the final version--and the sound will set your hair on end. If Nightmare Creatures can get a handle on some of the clipping and popup problems, this will be the new resident in the horror genre. But this game doesn't completely copy the games it resembles. Nightmare Creatures features plenty of innovative ideas to keep gamers happy. There are special attacks-some that are actually pretty brutal-and lots of items and power-ups to use against the game's army of gruesome enemies.
Since it's on the horror tip, expect anything from werewolves to giant, man-eating spiders and everything in between use your imagination! Some levels take place on infested city streets of European towns while others are in graveyards with dark tunnels underneath. To go along with the eerie mood.
Nightmare Creatures has fog and lighting effects. Imagine yourself running through a dark alley, finding your way through a thick coating of fog a four-foot spear swinging at your side. You turn a corner, nearly fall on the slippery cobblestone and look up, only to find yourself eye-to-snout with a lifelike werewolf. Are you dreaming?
You might be. But chances are you're playing Activision's upcoming title-which they picked up from European-based developer. Kalisto-the aptly named Nightmare Creatures. What's so special about carrying weapons and being chased around by a bunch of hideous freaks, you ask? Plenty, if the monsters taunt and torment you in a video game experience that has been likened to a cross between Tomb Raider and Resident Evil.
As such composites go the outcome can either be an unwanted mongrel or a new breed that possesses the best possible attributes of both. In this case, gamers would no doubt hope to see Resident Evil's surroundings coupled with Tomb Raider's free-roaming expanses. But be wary-the world has been promised to video game players before. For example. Nightmare Creatures will place you in and around 19th-century London, where you'll search for beasts and ogres sent by the clandestine Brotherhood of Heccate.
This gothic adventure will have you don the robe of Ignatius the monk or assume the battle garb of Nadia, a woman who's great with a sword but not allowed to join the holy brotherhood. Sound fictitious? Only partially. The environments have been re-created from actual 19th-century maps and blueprints to best present the true architectural feel of the time period, but the creatures you combat, using swords and staffs, are entirely imaginary.
The camera will tag closely behind your character in this single-player game as you scurry through the dark graveyards, dank alleys and immense cathedrals as they existed in the s in England-the audio and lighting effects adding to the already stunning ambience. But this game is more than just a pretty facade- that is. Most of the characters' moves are no more than a tap, tap, tap style with Ignatius or Nadia going into a flurry of attacks afterward.
At first you'll keep saying. Nonetheless, you can impress your friends with the crazy sword swipes and kung-fu kicks. Both Ignatius and Nadia are able to use their weapons to decapitate or in other cases take off limbs or sever torsos the competition. With all of these neat-o attacks comes the Block button. If all you do is constantly attack, you'll die quickly since the enemies tend to be smart' even though some of them are dead. Nightmare Creatures gives the player a chance to play as one of the two heroes in a plot that takes them into the darkest parts of 15 different districts of London.
These areas are filled with monsters and littered with more than 21 separate characters all with different types of behavior and levels of intelligence. The visuals are filled with textured 3-D landscapes that convey a frightening atmosphere through the streets of London. Note: A U. Keep watching us for an official update. Let me set the scene. An evil band of thugs called the Brotherhood of Hecate have been rumored to be attempting to create a race of stronger and more powerful humans.
The research process included mixing many different diseases together to create the super humans. As with every good horror story, the experiments backfired and instead of creating super humans, they created monsters.
They had no alternative but to release the monsters into the streets of London to infect the citizens whom they would have control over. The plan might have worked if it were not for Samuel Pepys, one of the members of the Brotherhood.
He saw the terror and havoc that was being unleashed by the brotherhood and decided it was up to him to stop it. Samuel set fire to the warehouse that contained all of the information, research and members of the Brotherhood.
This was the end of the line. Set the calendar years later A plague is spreading trough the London streets, causing mutations of the citizens. A book is left at the doorsteps of an expert in occult. The book was translated to become the writings of Samuel Pepys. It turns out he had kept a detailed journal, including the formula to create the mutated monsters.
He mailed this formula to a friend who worked in immunology. Upon receipt of the formula, the doctor set out to London to discover the origin.
His daughter came on the trip to help find the solution. Before anything can happen, the doctor is murdered and the diary is stolen. At his funeral, a man hands a note to the daughter that makes reference to Adam Crowley of the Brotherhood with an address at the bottom. The note is from the occult expert. It is decided that one of you will set out to find Adam Crowley, avenge the death of the doctor and rid the streets of the growing population of the monsters.
Quite a story, eh? I usually don't devote that much space to the story line of a game but since this one is so cool, I though it was worth going over. Anyway, Nightmare Creatures is a battle through 16 levels of zombies, creatures and beasts. If you are faint of heart or squeamish, you may as well take this game back to the store because I have not seen anything this graphically disturbing since Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain.
So that sure is a neat story--but if you wanted a story, you would rent a movie or buy a book, right? You are looking for a game and want to know if you have found one worth your while. The answer to that question is a resounding it depends. I will try and drop out all of the information so you can make the call on whether this game is up your alley or not. Nightmare Creatures is a difficult game to describe.
Playing the game could be considered a cross between a 3D fighting game and a 3D action adventure title. I know this sounds a bit weird but it is actually a great idea. Instead of how most action adventure games limit you to mostly weapons or an occasional punch or kick, this game gives you a full arsenal of punches, kicks, combo attacks as well as different weapons.
This added a whole new feeling and deminsion to this type of game. So, instead of running back and shooting your enemies, you must face them head on and defeat them with your fighting skills. Just because physical combat is such a large part of the game, it does not mean that you will not find your fair share of weapons along your way. You will find guns, multi shot guns, mines, potions and dynamite my personal favorite. This means that if you have a particularly tough enemy, you can always take a few steps back, whip out your gun and pop a cap in its ass.
Ignatius, the master of occult, carries a staff at all times that makes for a lethal weapon. Nadia, the doctor's daughter, caries a small sword type weapon with her which is also good for chopping zombies in half more on this later. A good deal of the gameplay is exploration. You will fight more than your share of baddies but in between, you will find many items in boxes, behind doors and by breaking out windows.
There are also areas hidden behind bushes and other objects that you must chop down or kick out of the way before you can access them. You must be very careful on your exploration because you have what is called an adrenaline meter. These range from health bonuses to a variety of useful weapons. Single shot Guns are good for taking out most individual enemies, while the Multi-Gun, which fires a round in all directions, is great when you're being gooned by a crowd.
Other items there for the picking include Firebombs, Dynamite, and Repulsive Smoke, which repels monsters. Everything remains in your inventory until you use it, so you can stockpile useful trinkets like those Multi-Guns. Even with [some] adventure-type elements, Nightmare Creatures is really all about combat.
While this game may be following in the footsteps of Tomb Raider , the influence of pure fighting titles like Virtua Fighter is very recognizable as well.
All of the game's levels feature a menagerie of beasties that have to be kicked, bludgeoned, and stabbed into submission before you can resume your hunt for Crowley. The sheer number of creatures is very impressive, and all thirteen feature very different methods of attack. Common enemies like Zombies just stagger forward and flail away, while Werewolves leap around you and slash with their claws.
The Hulk-like Dockers pack a wicked roundhouse punch and will also smash the ground, sometimes bringing the ceiling down on you. This impressive amount of variety means that Nightmare Creatures never gets repetitive even though the majority of game time is spent walloping one bad guy or another.
To really succeed particularly in the later levels you need to handle each one differently. If you just wade in every time, and try to take out a Docker the same as you would a Spider, you're going to spend more time loading saved games than actually playing. There are also special boss monsters, such as a giant multi- headed snake and a yeti, that have to be outsmarted every few levels as well.
I have no hesitation recommending Nightmare Creatures to anyone interested in arcade action of the Tomb Raider sort. The lack of a true save game feature, the occasionally erratic controls, and that adrenaline time limit keeps this one out of the awards category, but I do hope that people will still give it a try.
For atmosphere, gameplay, and eye candy, this one is hard to beat. Screenshots from MobyGames. EKN 0 point. Watch this tutorial in order to have music while playing. Vardena93 0 point. When i finish the 1st map and try to save,i cant,game says that i need 2d cd or something like that,how can i save? Sorcerer 0 point. Preconfigured installer for modern pc: archive. Bijuklich -2 points. Great game, it works perfect so far.
I played it when I was younger and now my kid loves it. EKN 1 point. The only salvation is Ignatius Blackward - a priest and occult expert and his daughter Nadia, a biologist and gimnasytczka. Playing as one of these characters, fighting mutants - you have to find Adam Crowley and restore normality to the streets of London.
