Mission 1985 is a video game that Consulog Games created and released.
You must eliminate the terrible General Hector alone or with another player to release the captured men.
Navigate the 11 distinct stages while avoiding numerous adversaries, tanks, helicopters, and planes. Gain more firepower and utilise your grenades to take down the many bosses at the level’s finish.
Mission 1985 is pure arcade action from the get-go, and it transported me back to that year. Only to continue playing, I didn’t have to keep inserting coins into an arcade machine. This is good because there is nothing complicated about it. If you’ve ever played Capcom’s Commando, you’ll know exactly what to expect from this top-down shooter.
That will also indicate whether or not you will love this game.
Mission 1985’s graphics are in a retro style, although they are not pixel art. The look is more akin to painted art, and it is also in HD. There is a lot to keep your eyes occupied and the pictures are wonderfully done. Wind-swaying trees, blood gushing from slain foes, and more The way the enemy’s body responds to your weapon varies. When you blow them up with a grenade, their bodily parts come apart, and when you burn them with a flamethrower, they turn into skeletal remains. When it comes to violence, Mission 1985 is pretty damn graphic.
You receive nine levels of traditional top-down shooting action where you must navigate hordes of nasty people and eliminate a large-level monster. The following two levels are a hybrid of Space Harrier and Operation Wolf. a first-person shooter-like 3D scaling thing. These stages do contribute to the game’s variety and assist to keep the action feeling new. There is also a wide range of weaponry, many of which are vintage arcade game guns. grenades, flamethrowers, three-way shoots, etc. Mission 1985 actually does feel and play like an old-school coin-op, aside from the modernised visuals.
The punishingly extreme difficulty is another throwback feature of Mission 1985. The fact that this game is really challenging only served to increase my appeal. In the game, you have a few choices. You can choose the number of lives you start with and gain more lives by rescuing captives. If you want some co-op fun and some much-needed assistance, there is also a two-player option. Mission 1985 is a great game all around. Although challenging, Chinese math is just as much fun. However, a significant question remains: Is it priceless? I must first find out how much the game costs in order to do that.
These days, people spend that much on a cup of coffee. If you want something that will last longer than a frappamoccaduperccino—or whatever garbage people these days buy from coffee shops—you can acquire a darn decent, old-school arcade shooter for £4. The music was the only thing that bothered me. I did enjoy the soundtrack, which was a very 1980s arcade. However, I felt it was a little too loud and overpowered the sound effects. Other than turning all audio on or off, there are no sound options. It would really help balance the sound to your taste if the developer could add a slider so you could change the volume of the music and effects. But yes, I do recommend it, and it’s also a great surprise to cap up my 2021 reviews. A heartfelt homage to arcade shooters is Mission 1985. It is incredibly fun to play and presents a challenging but fair task. The game supports two players and includes fully customizable controls as well as joystick and pad compatibility.
