Soda Crisis

Mechanics

Soda Crisis is a side-scroller. The player traverses various locations, jumps across platforms, avoids obstacles and traps, runs on walls and swings across pits with a grappling hook. On the way, you will face hordes of armed, soda-thirsty opponents, fighting them with melee weapons and numerous guns. Aside from generic foes, the player will also face powerful bosses, needing to uncover their weak spots and apply unique strategies. Progressing through the game rewards you with more diverse gear and upgrades to already-owned equipment.

The gameplay is very dynamic, requiring constant movement from the player (both during exploration and combat), as well as considerable dexterity and reflexes. All this makes the game quite a challenge. Nevertheless, the protagonist respawns immediately after death, letting him quickly throw himself back into the fray. The game isn't very long, taking about 4 hours to complete. After the end credits, the player can try out the speedrun mode or the bonus level, in which our hero is armed only with... an umbrella.
