Game of the Day - Desert Breaker




Desert Breaker bears more than a slight resemblance to Mercs and others of the genre (a genre I call "Omni Shooters").  But I don't care how derivative a game is as long as it's fun and puts its own stamp on the gameplay/graphics.

You choose your character and enter the battle.  Three buttons and a JS control the action.  The buttons are Fire, Run, & Spcl Weapon/Grenade.  The "Run" button is particluarly cool because you dash like the flash for an instant and wind up a good distance from where you started - better yet, during the run you are invincible, so you can use it to escape hairy situations.

Gameplay is typical but that doesn't mean it isn't fun.  Really nice visuals, lots of good enemies, serious JS jerking action and loads of weaponry make this a great entry into the genre.
