OVERVIEW
In the game, players control the hero -- whose name is still a secret -- as he makes his way through London during the alien invasion.
Technically speaking, the game is a two-dimensional side scroller that focuses on puzzle-solving and evasion instead of shooting guns or swinging swords. The controls aren’t final yet, but the build I played had a very simple two-button configuration. One button was jump, and another was the climb button. The climb button could also be held down while moving to run. The part of the game I played involved a bit of crawling into pipes.
I feel like an idiot trying to describe the control setup, because it’s pretty old school. Visually, on the other hand, The War of the Worlds is a delightful punch in the face. As I mentioned, this game is a throwback to old rotoscoped titles like Flashback. For those unfamiliar with the term, rotoscoping is the act of animating over live action video, frame by frame. It’s sort of a precursor to motion capture.
