Enemy: Tempest of Violence

Enemy: Tempest Of Violence is a platformer action-adventure created by Anachronia for the Amiga and published originally in 1997.

The developer released an improved version, called the "easyplay version", in 2011, and declared the game freeware.

This title, designed and programmed by André Wüthrich, is inspired by classic 2D action adventures like Prince of Persia - you might also add Impossible Mission or Castlevania. But this is a much richer and complete game.

In 2029, human scientists are taken prisoners on three alien vessels orbiting around Mars. As a space marine, your task is to explore the vast starships, divided into 34 levels, and save the scientists. Each level will give you a certain amount of time to solve it.

The graphics are fantastic, the animations very detailed, almost "cinematic", sounds and music - that change dynamically depending on the scenes - create the perfect atmosphere. There are also several advanced features, such as enemies that can hear you and act accordingly, several actions to perform with objects, multiple weapons, and, last but not least, 2-players cooperative mode. What else can you ask?

Enemy: Tempest Of Violence is a game that could have been a massive success if released when the Amiga was at its peak. But if you are a retro games lover, you cannot miss it.
