It is one of the first 3D game to attempt such a large number of enemies too, and it's not uncommon to find yourself swamped with the spider-like 'headless'. It is especially useful for mowing down large hoards of enemies. It will be the first weapon you find and ultimately does the most damage if you can get close enough. Unlike most other shooters at the time - and even now - you'll find yourself mostly using the melee weapon instead of guns. It does try to do a few things different, mostly in its art and atmosphere but let's talk about mechanics first. Exploring maze-like levels, finding new weapons and shooting a shit-ton of bad guys is for the course with this sort of game. Using the Lithtech engine, Psycho Circus is ultimately another run-of-the-mill first-person-shooter. The toughest hellscape of a scenario yet. Powerful axe known as The Punisher is your first defense in It just so happens that the whole Kiss image has something to do with it.įrontman and bass guitarist Gene Simmons is the inspirationįor The Demon who rules over the Fire Realm. Four 'Elders' have been prophesied to be the saviours, each taking on the powers of one of four elements: Water, Earth, Air and Fire. You see, it's been foretold that a Nightmare Child will be born and wreak all sorts of havoc. Instead, we have a quartet of wannabe rockers who just so happen to be the saviours of the world. Gene Simmons and the gang are nowhere to be found in the game. And this is where hell literally breaks loose. No-ones turned up so, on the wishes of a local old lady, they decide to go to the circus instead. A band name Wicked Jester (no Kiss), have got a gig in a little venue called The Coventry. The story is something of a confused one. When you realise it's based more on the graphic novel by Todd McFarlane's production company than any one Kiss song, it begins to make a little bit of sense. A first-person-shooter is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Kiss, but that's exactly what Third Law Interactive created way back in 2000 with Kiss: Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child.
