This is a bit of a personal soft spot. Dark Void is a jetpack shooter which definitely has its share of problems. The main character is Nathan Drake mixed with Malcolm Reynolds bit without the wit (he’s even voiced by Nolan North, so we know the actor can do the witty remarks) and some of the protection missions are tedious.
Still, there’s a lot of great ideas. You have a jetpack which can hover or go into flight mode. The jetpack is fast but has powerful guns. The game doesn’t stop you from using the flight mode jetpack indoors, but you’re likely to kill yourself on a wall unless you’re extremely careful. The levels have a lot of verticality to them, as you can take cover under balconies and shoot enemies above you.
I would love to see a new attempt at this game, as I think with a better budget, it could be wonderful.
Fun
