Introduction
Duke Nukem 3D, a classic of the 90s shooter games, makes its grand entrance on Android devices. It comes with a 'port' that maintains the authenticity of the original, available for free, mirroring the 'shareware' version released subsequently. The touch screen controls have been impeccably adapted for the needs of Android users. This version, akin to the iconic 'shareware' version, only comprises the first of the game's three chapters.
Gameplay
Get ready to traverse the numerous levels that L.A. Meltdown offers, face off against hordes of enemies, and utilize the array of iconic weapons and items from the original game. From the rocket launcher, shrink ray, and freezethrower to the chaingun cannon - they're all present in this version. The touch screen controls are not flawless, but they come close. Duke's movements are fluid, sometimes excessively so, giving the sensation of 'roller-skating' in certain areas. However, the aiming and weapon change systems are excellently adapted, leading to a gratifying gaming experience.
Graphics
Graphically, Duke Nukem 3D remains unaltered. Given that it was already seen as retro when it first released on computers, it's easy to imagine how it stands now. However, it continues to possess a unique charm, much to the delight of retro gaming enthusiasts.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Duke Nukem 3D presents a commendable 'port' of one of the finest first-person action games of all time. Duke's charisma remains unscathed in this version, and thanks to the marvel of Android devices, players can enjoy this action-packed game anywhere.
