![]() Through each successive playthrough, you can purchase new gear that will become available to select from the hub each time you die. So Relic Hunters Zero Remix is a rogue-like of sorts, and depending on the difficulty you opt for, you’ll end up losing a lot of the gear you earn. The mainstay is the Adventure mode, but there’s the option for Endless variant which is the same, only once you die, you lose everything you’ve won. Relic Hunters Zero Remix has a vast selection of modes to choose from, though most are unlocked either through progress or by paying for it the bounty you accumulate through the game. Still, he and his legion of ducks do serve up a threat, even if that lack of an ‘n’ in his names doesn’t. ![]() In the news piece on the game, the inclusion of an enemy named Ducan would have served better as Duncan. The enemy you face is Duke Ducan over 12 levels of blasting. While the colours and cute accessible graphics will win over the younger audiences, it’ll also maintain an older demographic as the game is pretty bloody hard. In some respects, you could say that Relic Hunters Zero Remix is a game aimed at kids. It’s almost as if it’s was designed by the Apple team who did the 00s iTunes adverts – very colourful, very vibrant. It’s essentially a dungeon crawler, but one of the brightest. Its questionable length can be easily dismissed, because Relic Hunters Zero’s open-source format will allow others to repurpose the game’s content, enhancing it further and making it uniquely playable the second time around. And I’m really excited to equip a few gun hacks being created out there by the game’s community of modders.Storywise, Relic Hunters Zero Remix is a loot raid: leaving your good ship Spaceheart, you and your fellow reprobates of playable characters hunt for relics on the asteroid Nemesis. Rogue Snail wrote on their website that Relic Hunters Zero is a project that took 100% labor from the game’s two developers. Getting behind cover, running, or dashing backwards to avoid massive line of fire can be enjoyably combined to make combat look like an actual shooter! Controls are easy-to-learn, responsive, and praisingly useful. As a shooter, Relic Hunters Zero moves like the streams of clear river water. Sniping ducks from afar sounds really cartoonish, but the whole environment – from destructible cover to kill animations – supports the universe this game is on. Relic Hunters Zero’s performance and presentation as a twin-stick shooter are its formidable strengths. Relics can also be randomly bought from the shop from where your character will be transported back after completing the third stage from any level. Combining three pieces of the same relic will grant Jimmy or Pinkyy a permanent boost to hit point or shield outputs. Relics are important collectibles that can be mined after finishing a stage. Ducks often band together, so it’s almost easy to get multiple kills during enemy encounters. Stringing together kill combos increase the star value collected, thus its fairly important for players to equip weapons that can do a lot of damage during crowd control situations. Your loadout of weapons can be bought using Bounty stars, which can be harvested from fallen enemies. More characters and one additional game mode can be unlocked after climbing up a few flight of stairs. The game is truncated and feels forced sometimes, with your playthrough summarized into teleporting back to the same level you finished moments ago. Relic Hunters Zero has only four levels and three stages per level. Your ship’s loadout, like any other shooter, improves after you get past level 1. You select between Jimmy or Pinkyy between missions and you pluck out Ducan’s armed squadron of ducks by selecting two weapons from your loadout. Your mission is to roast Ducan and his flock of angry birds with guns, explosives, and an overpowered glove.Ĭombat is very satisfying. Actually, the story is succinctly told during the game’s first and only loading screen: Duke Ducan and his army of armed ducks set out to rule the galaxy by locating powerful relics remotely hidden somewhere underground at Asteroid Dungeon Nemesis. Relic Hunters Zero has a shoot first, ask questions later mentality. Despite its short length, Relic Hunters Zero is straightforward action, passing its continuity to open-source mechanics talented enough to bring back second life to a free-to-play space jam filled with ducks, guns, and loadouts. Relic Hunters Zero is a rebellion against free-to-play Steam games that require micro-transactions to keep gameplay moving. There are many unfriendly ducks in this game.
