GamesRadar: Larva Mortus Review
These days it’s hard to say how many readers will remember age-old shooter Alien Breed, to which Larva Mortus is akin. Of course, the reviewers are old fogies, with many troubles and long memory: for them Alien Breed was a shooter that defined gaming. What was definitive about it was its co-op play, and that’s clearly the special ingredient Larva Mortus lacks. Otherwise, it’s just a pretty good indie adventure: the difficulty and pacing are absolutely spot-on, even if the visuals lack the ostentatious fireworks we’re used to these days.
One final thought: this kind of low-budget exploration of classical ideas is exactly what makes PC gaming so exuberant in 2009. It’d be a shame to ignore it.
