Apocalypse

First game of the year

Game no: 540
Genre: Shooter
Platform: PS1 
Release Date: 1998

So the jouney to try every PS1 game begins with this gem. I am going to say Apocalypse is a twin stick shooter before twin stick shooters are a thing. This is probably due to the original PS1 controller doesn't have dual joysticks. So the developers have to be creative and use the face buttons as directonal arrows. So each face buton is the direction you supposed to be shooting. 

This game doesn't have any unique mechanic. This is basically a run and gun which quite fun. Going from point A to B which shooting a horde of demon is really fun. On the way you will get power ups that give you an extra boost in firepower. The thing to look forward to in a game like this is a cutscene with advance 3D graphics (during that time) but I didn't bother with the story too much since the game was very enjoyable. The main character is a 3D Bruce Willis and he provided a lot of voice over work for this character. Every couple of minutes he has a quippy line that he says which is entertaining. 

In the end this game is a just a fun arcade shooter which I really enjoy. It is nothing to deep and going forward playing PS1 games, I can see these are probably the games I gravitate too. I give this game an A-Rank
