THE REAP - World 4 (written by Simon Coong)
CUT SCENE #4
Your fighter craft descends and blows the hell out
some enemies from behind a building...
HIGH TECH ISLAND
To start off the first phase of the final level, the
HIGH TECH ISLAND, you get assaulted by this floating droid which splits
up into four pieces, each piece then coming after your craft! I think
we've seen this enemy in level 2. And yes, if you look closely into the
picture you'll find that that weapon is a FLAMETHROWER, the most powerful
weapon in the game! Now we're rocking!
Radioactive canisters and helicopters do not make a
very healthy mix to play around with.
These darts are indestructable, which is a downer if
you've just spent 10 minutes trying to kill em. What makes it worse is
that any shot you hit them with, they return fire with a highly charged
electric beam which does masses of damage! Avoid like the plague!
Now these darts are fine. They're weak, and not very
hard to avoid. What makes it difficult is that they swarm after you like
wasps! The flamethrower is very ineffectine against these, so a spreader
like the Electric Shock or Blue Plasma works well.
More rotating circles! These ones take a little more
punishment before disintegrating.
The windmills are back bet aren't your primary target
now. Who cares? Just flamer them!!
What beautiful graphics and devastation.
(Minimalist Captions 1998)
The flamertanks are back (again) and still a nuisance,
but with your own flamethrower they don't stand much of a chance against
you!
Indestructable darts, destructable darts, turrets, what next? Mechs?? Thankfully, no.
hose droids from level 2 return, and what makes them
worse is that you get loads of them coming after you at once! And even
better, you get clusters of homing missles chasing you as well!!
METROPOLIS
Told you so! This is where I die all the time. And
I've only just started the final phase, the METROPOLIS.
Trolleyloads of people to kill. Electric Shock does
the best damage on this final run.
Fighter craft and rotating circles. R-Type anyone?
You can tell the end is near when mass devestation
reigns from all sides. Like right now.
The humans' last ditch attempt to frazzle you is by
throwing a load of spider walkers at you. Laugh at their weenie attempt
and frazzle the entire lot of them!
Deftly avoiding a few turrets on the lefthand side
I promptly smacked into a spider walker on the right! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! A life lost.
As soon as you reach the end you're greeted
by this lovely cutscene of your battered little fighter landing on a
nearby cliff, and a shot of all of your mates flooding out of the city,
moments before the city detonates and a large nuclear mushroom fills
the sky.
