Double Kick Heroes: Video Game Overview
Many probably noticed that I adore Rock, Punk and Heavy Metal. And therefore, of course, it simply could not pass by the game in the self-pressed genre of Rhythm Metal Shooter, whose description says: “You have to fight for your life, shooting from opponents on the steep Handillaca on the road to hell. Only the power of the metal can save your group!”Well, after viewing (and most importantly, listening!) trailer I was ready to immediately roll Double Kick Heroes His metal, roaring “amazing”. But how did it happen in the end?

And now … Zombie Rock!!!

Double Kick Heroes – This is how you already understood, a mixture of a shooter and rhythm game. Something in the Spirit Guitar Hero, Only on the keyboard or gamepad, about shooting zombies (and other unclean) and about “tires” (with rare exceptions).

Therefore, here we do not have another zombie apocalypse, but a very loud and carbon monoxide zombie apocalypse, where the running (and not at all walking), dewenn the perky heavy metal gang of three guys and two girls. This is something like Lapenkovsky “Baghrovaya Phantomas” with a rose-robot and Shershnyagoy, little-known musicians seeking fame. Only here the team is still a little more musical.

The guys twisted Harami at the next concert, when they noticed that instead of living spectators in the tact they are growing zombies. Here I would be glad: “Our Mulo even raises the dead from the graves, Yu Ku, damn,” but no … For a short time, thinking the musicians grabbed the tools and were signed into their Cadillac, and after them the crowds of dead fans rushed after them. From obsessive and already fallen fans have to not fight back and not even wonder, but rather to shoot.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewOur heroes are constantly (and funny) override with each other.

Rhythm Metal

Sitting in the car, musicians continue to play, but most importantly, from them (and from us) is required – it’s still shoot. First remove enemies exclusively of two pistols, as the story campaign passes the opportunity to throw grenades and fill out of sniper rifles.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewGrenades, naturally, especially effective.
To do this, you need to touch the keys on time (each is responsible for its) in the rhythm notes running at the bottom of the screen. The more accurately we get, the more effectively the gun combo is copied, and instead of the guns, we give a shotgun and even a rocket. Energy will also be copied to access a grenade or sniper. Missed – and all this is either gradually (on the easier levels of complexity), or immediately reset. In addition, you need to remember that too frequent pressing leads to overheating of weapons.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewIf you do not have time to defeat the boss until the end of the track, then lose.
In some missions (and especially often in battles with bosses), you also need to maneuver the machine, lifting or going down to get away from the lesion line. If you wish, you can simplify life, turning on the autopilot.

Hellian tour

So, rushing around the screen from left to right under the discontinuous heavy tracks, taking off the keys and shooting monsters, we pass the levels. At the same time, the game counts all the successes and gives the scores – then you can compare your results in local and global ratings.

The story campaign is united by a funny history that prevents typical subjects of survival in the middle of a zombie apocalypse with severe rock. Our heroes are looking for survivors, we are flying away from crowded zombies chicken, zombie aircraft and even zombie dinosaurs.

Here it is especially important to twist up and down the highway.

They also find asylum, go beyond the resources, come to the rescue that fell into trouble and reason about resistance. And quite quickly understand that zombies here are some kind of too organized, there are even reasonable, and there is clear someone for all this disgrace.

But at the same time, everything resembles a rock-party. Our heroes meet Marilina Manson (Rather, Mairlin Brexton!) And even steal its cosmetics, compare the size of the abyss and the mouth of Stephen Tyler, and are rejoicing when there are almost empty casinos with a full bay bar. In general, a typical caustic tour on the road to hell.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewMarilyn in the game Some Nikatik.

And now – about music!

Of course, you are worried, and what kind of music sounds in Double Kick Heroes.

Anaturazh here is very diverse – like a set of opponents.

The authors did not have money to license the tracks of my favorite Metallica, Paradise Lost, Creator, Children of Bodom, Burzum, in this Moment or the same Marilyn Manson. Therefore, the official Soundtrack for the game was written by the French composer Elmobo, which quite successfully imitates a variety of destinations – here and nu-metal, and German Industrial in the spirit of Rammstein, and metal. Each mission in the campaign corresponds to one or another direction.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewMetalstein 9K is just “Zakos” under Rammstein.
But here there is an editor where you are free to select locations, monsters, and most importantly – download your favorite tracks.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewIt’s called “Feel also sound!”.
In addition, there is a “Gate hell” mode, where you can try to pass different thematic levels for invited artists. They are all unfamiliar (personally for me), except for Dan Terminus (this is just not a metal, but synthev, although it is also very cheerful), but there is an opportunity to hear something new. For example, I discovered this Datcore command called Jinjer.

This track is hardly the most difficult and driving in the whole game. And in general, it is the “Gate of hell” – perhaps the best that is in Double Kick Heroes, If we talk about music. Here a lot of various genres – sytkin, prog rock, the same Datcore, Black and game like Parodic Metal, Lovecraftian Black Metal or Tech Death Whale Metal (By the way, also cool and in their circles, a well-known team called GoJira).Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewHell in Town I seem to hear somewhere too.
The second argument in favor of the “Gate of Hell” – the replacement of selected songs. Double Kick Heroes already a very hardcore rhythm game, where at the second level of complexity (and there are five of them) in the campaign just once to look at what is happening with the car – the eyes tightly stick to the bottom of the screen. Now listen to the same gojira.

And imagine how you have to literally cut into it, and at high speed (it can be adjusted), yes in the “Extreme” mode (or at least for “tin”).

That’s what it looks like.

Here and it is as if you turn into that well-minded guitarist – it seems that the keyboard begins to smoke, it’s blood from the fingers, and I urgently want to find the crowd of the same lochmachars in black to rush there and pacify.Double Kick Heroes: Video Game OverviewThere is still a “road rage” mode, where there are cards with bonuses for the passage of levels.

Labore or not lab?

Of course lab, throw a “goat” and twist Haper, as a helicopter – blades. Double Kick Heroes It turned out to be a real gift for all Istrich “Metallurg”. And yet I understand perfectly that this game is amazing for fans of such music. And within the whole genre, this is amazingly commendable game.

Pros: Mass of planting metal;excellent mixture of arcade shooter and rhythm game;funny characters and an interesting story campaign;many modes, enemies and bosses;Built-in editor, allowing you to upload at least Metallica, though Children of Bodom, at least Andrei Ginin – and even better “Sleep of the merchant” from “Baghrovaya Phantomas”;Carbon monoxide!

Minuses: rhythm mechanic may seem too hardcore and not always comfortable.
