Combine forces are in the process of constructing a huge robot in an abandoned government fallout shelter outside City 17. The robot, codenamed “Das Roboss”, is the most destructive Combine creation yet. It makes Striders look like daddy long-legs. Your mission is to infiltrate the occupied bunker and find Das Roboss. If you can destroy, steal, or otherwise remove the robot from Combine hands you will be doing City 17, and the world, a great service.
A short, but very cool mod. I love the robot fight.
Ominous and eerie. Great atmosphere early on.
Tough, but rewarding combat.
Maps were a little too open. I was constantly second-guessing my progress because I didn't want to miss any goodies, but every path seemingly kept going on and on forever.
Often frustrating platforming. Far too many times I just randomly fell to my death because I awkwardly clipped into something or ran across a random hole in the floor. OSHA, anybody?
Confusing directives. Was never really sure exactly where to go and mostly just wandered around until I stumbled into the solution.
Final battle with Das Roboss was a really cool idea, but poorly implemented. Bad robot controls with awkward weaponry, unclear objectives, and random explosions that would take you down to 9 health. It desperately wanted to be epic, but came across as tedious and frustrating instead.
All in all, not a bad mod. Certainly worth playing, but suffers from early mod problems. Unpolished gameplay, weird difficulty spikes, and confusing mapping. Lacked coherence, but was a fun romp all the same.
old. strange. playable.
Very good mod including mecha fight. :-D
awesome mod
This was a great mod. The beginning took off as the player began breaking into a very nice Combine facility. The atmosphere was perfect. The hallways were complex labyrinths. They were very Combine-ish and I got lost easily as I usually do. The ending was fantastic and almost took me by surprise because I didn’t know I was already on the robot. Overall it was very impressive for its size and age.
very intense action. The Artwork & Leveldesing is great. I played trought difficult and i found it very challenging but not in an uncomfortable way because i found the whole gameplay well balanced.
The onyl think i dont like a much was the ending , i found it a little boring to use walk with the robot but ok...
It's 3 pretty good maps, with a nice ending. I havent seen this type of ending in any other maps/mods before.
You should play it.
