NiL is a remake of a little-known title called Liero, a freeware game that runs
|
|
on DOS. The creator, designer, and all-round good guy behind NiL, Flemming
|
|
Fransden, had stumbled across Liero at a demo-party in the former East Germany.
|
|
When the author of Liero was apparently uninterested in making the source code
|
|
available or porting it to other platforms, Flemming set about reimplementing
|
|
Liero from the ground up -- under the catchy name NiL.
|
|
|
|
NiL takes place far underground where players are personified as cute little
|
|
blue worms. But, don't let the game's seemingly innocent appearance fool you.
|
|
Using worms armed to the teeth with weaponry normally reserved for first-person
|
|
shooters, NiL combines the best features of the Quake series of online gaming
|
|
with the comical traits of Worms. Together, this allows for a lively and
|
|
dynamic environment where you can tunnel and blast your way around the screen,
|
|
creating your own escape routes from the surrounding mayhem. NiL also sports
|
|
the right price -- free.
