Heavy Metal FAKK² is a third-person shooter from 2000 that was developed by Ritual Entertainment and distributed worldwide by Take 2 Interactive . It is a licensed product for the comic magazine Heavy Metal and a continuation of the content of the animated film Heavy Metal: FAKK² .
action
The story takes place a few years after the events of the cartoon of the same name and is about aliens who start an invasion of the planet Eden. Eden is the home of Julie, in whose role the player slips to drive the aliens back from Eden.
Gameplay
Heavy Metal: FAKK² is a third-person shooter or action adventure . Like her colleague in Tomb Raider , Julie can climb up and swing ropes, climb pipes and walls, push along ledges, push and pull boxes and use switches, valves and levers. A novelty is the possibility to use two different weapons at the same time, e.g. B. a sword and an Uzi submachine gun . This possibility was probably significantly influenced by the action films by director John Woo (including Hard Boiled ), who shaped this Akimbo style at the time. Different combo attacks are possible depending on the combination of weapons .
development
At that time, the Quake III Arena engine was used as the graphics engine . As in the film, the main character is modeled on the actress and nude model Julie Strain , who also dubbed the character in the original. Loki Software ported the game to Linux .
reception
The game received mostly benevolent reviews (Metacritic: 78%). By October 2001 the title had sold around 44,000 times.
