Previous versions always seemed kinda float-y while moving duke, but here, it seems to be tighter and grounded. I didn’t have any issues maneuvering or dodging for the most part. The commentary also seems to be short and not very informative.Ĭontrol is actually really responsive and seems to be fine tuned for controllers. Mostly it just talks about level design and enemy placement. There is a commentary option you can turn on while you play some levels, but don’t listen for hints about the level or anything. This is basically a prettier Duke Nukem 3D with one new chapter. The Duke It Out in D.C., Duke Caribbean: Life’s a Beach, and Duke: Nuclear Winter expansion packs that were found in the Megaton Edition are nowhere to be found here. While this is a nice upgrade to a classic game, it’s missing a ton of content that was found in the 2013 version. While this is a welcome addition, it’s largely more of the same game play that starts to feel stale after a short time. Even though they are new, they still play just like the original levels, with their maze like maps, heated gun battles and “exciting” key card collecting. To me, this kinda ruins the charm of the original game, so I tried not to use it at all.Īlong with the visual and audio upgrades, there have been some new levels added, created by the original programmers! A chapter called “Alien World Order” takes place after the events of the original game, and has Duke battling aliens in seven new locations. Shortly after death, the game pauses and allows you to rewind time so you can try the exact same spot again without starting over. One new addition is a Replay Slider you can use when you die. Game play remains largely unchanged - traverse through a maze, killing almost everything that moves while collecting keys to open doors. John re-recording all of Duke’s original dialog, along with adding some new lines. Duke’s voice was given an upgrade as well, with original voice actor John St. The sound was also updated to sound more clear. Everything looks sharper, with less muddy visuals and some great lighting effects. This new version is different, as it uses a new engine, has slightly updated visuals and new levels created by the original programmers. In early 2013, you may remember there was a re-release of Duke Nukem 3D on Steam and other systems. This new remake from Nerve Software brings the nostalgia, but it falls short in many areas.

There’s just something about this game that I always come back to. I think I have purchased every single version, remake and re-release there has been. One of my all time favorite games has been Duke Nukem 3D.
