i bought this nearly 2 years ago but only got around to finishing it now. its a fun game. the graphics and atmosphere are really nice and the weapons are pretty fun to use. during my first session i had really bad stuttering issues, but in the next sessions it ran completely fine. not sure what the problem was but oh well. its only 5 euros too. its absolutely worth it

Like a number of titles from that period, Zortch’s actual gameplay does not feel particularly normal.

Audio

The soundtrack of Zortch is pretty solid, as it packs a lot of tension, atmosphere and adrenaline in one badass package.

All fill the air between you and the wacky extraterrestrial vistas, lined with humorous sci-fi banners sporting funny ads, whose art style reminded me of Space Quest.
