Capcom tries to put a new twist on the action with "vertical combat," but this is both absurd and the part where most people start getting motion sick. Combat's just there - it's not exciting or fulfilling. Even if you're shooting them from a distance, many of your enemies will just sit there and take the beating until they're dead. Of course, in true Dark Void fashion, there are only a few melee animations, the one where you shoot the robot in the back rarely lines up to look correct, and most of the enemies will stand there while you swing at them. These robots you're up against take a ton of shots to take down in the early goings of the game, but that really shouldn't matter because you can one-hit kill most of the jerks with your melee attack. You take cover on objects, blind fire, hurl grenades, and so on. When you're down on the ground and obeying the laws of gravity, you'll find that Dark Void is your typical, generic third-person shooter. By the end of the game, I had gotten so sick of taking ships down this way (and getting cheaply killed while doing it) that I found the equally repetitive mission of trying to dogfight them to the ground to be the better alternative because it seemed faster.Īlthough you can fight while hovering, the ability is just kind of there as a transition between the ground and the sky and vice versa. When you're close to a ship you can perform a "skyjacking" and hop onto the aircraft to try and bust in, but the process of doing this is a drawn out, repetitive affair. You'll start to get shot at from behind, do a 360-loop to get behind that ship, and try to get a few hits in before it falls behind you again.
When you're flying you're going to be up against ships that are only programmed to get behind you. When you're hovering you'll have access to the same two weapons you're allowed to carry when you're on foot, and when you're flying you'll shoot with the unlimited machine guns on your pack. You'll get the jetpack early on and be able to leap into the sky to hover over the bad guys or fly around at breakneck speeds. Dark Void's hook is that it gives you the chance to be the Rocketeer.
