Hello gaming fam, I hope that you all are living the best out of your lives.
In today's gaming blog, I bring you a game which I last played in 2017 just for 1 minute. Yes one minute! Why? I don't remember. As I was scrolling through my steam library, I found this dead yet so playable game. By dead means there aren't active players anymore and it saddens me a lot because, I loved this game. So, I just played with the bots and you know that it's quite easy to get use to their tactics and game-play. Before I start yapping a lot, the game has a unique name, "Double Action: Boogaloo."
Game-play:
It is wiggly, figgly (yeah, it doesn't exist) and jiggly. It feels like a mix of various games: movement is like Totally Accurate Battleground, sliding relates to COD. Still, I must say it is unique and creative. All you have to do is pick your favourite character, choose your inventory and start killing each other. Simple isn't it? 4 people fighting for the first spot in arena type structure. The most perfect thing is the jumping, sliding system and the way your character moves is love. Along with killing one another, you have to go to the various checkpoints generated in the map. From these checkpoints, you get points and probably, you come first.
I guess, I know what you are thinking :)
It was my first try into the game and I had no idea that the game is full of recoil. At first, I didn't even know that you can zoom in. But, later on, I learned it quite well. One last thing before we move onto the next part, sound system is really good and every gun has its own sound.
Maps and Characters:
In order to keep the BOOGLOO going, there are many maps and the screen system brought back counter strike's nostalgia.
Along with that game has four agents:
1. Diesel
2. Vice
3. Eightball
4. Bomber
Every agent is equipped with 5 style selections:
1. Marksman (better aim and recoil)
2. Bouncer (extra jump)
3. Reflexes (fast moment)
4. Athlete (fast running)
5. Nitrophiliac (extra gernades)
For the equipment game has done justice to every agent with same inventory.
Along with all this game is full of varieties. You can kill with primary weapon, secondary weapon and even with your fists. You can change from third person perspective to first person perspective, you can change vision from right to left or left to right. Just go with whatever suits you and I can assure you, kill with the punch is soothing.
Final Thoughts:
To wrap it up, Double Action: Boogaloo is that one forgotten gem you accidentally step on while scrolling through your old digital pile of games. It's not the best out there, but it doesn't even try to be one. It's simple, chaotic, stylish and straight fun. Yeah, it is dead in terms of players, but try it with your friends and believe me you won't mind. Yes, you cannot play it for long hours, still, it deserves to be given a try.
So gamers, next time you feel bored and feel like trying something new, give this one a spin.
Stay jiggly, my friends!
Thanks for sticking by!
