About the game

Wisecracking action hero Duke Nukem fights an alien invasion through Los Angeles, an orbiting space station and the Moon. Its interactive, real-world levels and outrageous attitude made it DOOM's biggest rival.

Kit's verdict · 8.9/10Crude, loud and gloriously inventive, with levels you can still poke at for hours. Kit · Sadkitty Games

Loved

  • Interactive world full of switches, mirrors, toilets and jokes
  • Creative weapons like the shrinker, freezer and pipe bombs
  • Great secrets and destructible scenery

Not so much

  • The humour and content are very much of 1996
  • Later levels get mazy and keycard-heavy

Play it if players who want a fast shooter with personality and a world that reacts to everything you touch.

Skip it if anyone put off by juvenile, adult-oriented humour.

Tips

Play it better

  1. Pipe bombs are remote-detonated. Throw one, walk away, and press fire again to blow it up when enemies gather.
  2. Shrink an enemy with the shrinker and then walk over it to squash it, which saves ammo on big Assault Commanders.
  3. Freeze an enemy with the freezethrower, then kick it to shatter it.
  4. The Holoduke throws out a fake Duke that distracts enemies while you flank them.
  5. Drink from fountains, sinks and broken fire hydrants, and use toilets, to top up a little health.
  6. Laser tripbombs can be stuck to walls in doorways to set traps for pursuing aliens.
  7. Use the jetpack to reach rooftops and ledges, which is where many secrets hide.
  8. Crouch and look up and down freely. Unlike DOOM, many secrets sit above or below your line of sight.
