ドゥーム I've had this game in my library for a long time, but only got through it now :D Pretty cool, funny jokes (Fortune Cookies are very funny), dialogs are fun to listen to. Enemies fly apart, it's fun to shoot! The story is perfect for this type of game. There are easter eggs in the game too, so it makes sense to poke at the map walls. I'm not really a fan of this kind of Asian setting, but overall it was well done. 8 out of 10

This game is just awesome but has a higher degree of difficulty. Also Lo Wang is a fun protagonist in so many ways. Definitely check out this game if you get the chance

Man this game is so wang, I can't believe I missed out on this wang. Back then my computer was not wang enough to play it. But now I'm running it on full wang. And damn, even though it is an old wang, my God it still looks beautiful. It never gets old trying to dismember all the wang in this game. The wang between the characters is funny, the secrets and pop culture wang is nice to find, the weapons satisfyingly wang, and I'm surprised this quality of wang is not seen nowadays. Getting this game on discount also added to the wang. This is a must wang.

Japanese Doom but instead of a silent protagonist Wang is actually pretty funny at times. The fortune cookies are awesome and I highly recommend that you kill every bunny you find. It sounds vicious but their is a fun surprise after killing so many of them.
