A bloody and hilarious action game with an emphasis on well timed kills.
When a game is called “Non-Stop Action Hero” your natural reaction is to think “Surely, something has to be able to stop him” – but not here. The title is literal. There is no way for this action hero to be stopped. But it’s not a flaw. It’s a testament to all the heroes who survive hails of bullets, shards, sparks and explosions and just end up a little sweaty for their troubles.
Through wave after wave of enemies your main aim is not to slaughter, but to slaughter effectively. Every successful kill gives you one bonus second. A missed shot takes a second away and at the end of every level, after the boss, you get free reign at masses of enemies for your accumulated number of seconds in an effort to up your total body count.
The weapons include a shotgun, sniper rifle, Uzi, machine gun, flame thrower, knife, icicle and broken bottle, among others and your enemies include Vietnam-era warriors, US Army soldiers, drunks, yetis and more, the game revels in parody and excess. And though the graphics aren’t much to look at and their isn’t much to hear, it’s the experience which shines through. The game is a blessing among serious fare without a comedic side. This game is almost entirely one huge comedic side by itself. Enjoy.
