Review
Wrack was a great game that came out too early. Plain and simple. Doom 2016 didn’t start the resurgence of the genre quite yet, and people didn’t know they wanted it. Wrack is an amazing game, with an incredible soundtrack. Some people may consider it generic by today's standards, but it stuck to a formula that was popular years prior, and it worked. You get tons of guns, to kill tons of bad guys, through a decently sized campaign. The fact that there are zero hitscan enemies is a bonus, and gives the game a slight “bullet hell” feel, especially the boss fights. The final boss being the most prevalent to this, which felt more like an exercise in memorization and chance, and was a strange leap in difficulty compared to the rest of the game.
It’s also worth noting the game DOES have a level creator, and people have made some amazing levels. One in particular was a full remake of the original Doom inside Wrack. There’s a lot to like here. The game does feature a combo system, where the more kills you get, the more it charges a special meter, to use your weapons alternate fire. This is definitely a cool and unique feature, although on hardcore difficulty, the meter drains so fast I was only able to use it a handful of times. All in all, I enjoyed my time with Wrack, mostly in part due to its quick gunplay, and bangin’ soundtrack. And with a well saturated level creator, you can get a lot of mileage out of this charming game
