Terminator 2D: NO FATE Reviews
Terminator 2D: No Fate is a tight 2D action game that keeps you moving and shooting without wasting your time. Combat stays easy to follow even when enemies start piling up, and quick retries make learning tough sections less frustrating. Not every idea hits the same way, and the game does not last long. Still, it sticks to its old-school formula and plays best when you treat it as something to jump into, improve at, and replay.
Terminated 2D: No Fate is a perfect tribute to the film adaptation of Terminator, as well as to the pixel art video games released in the 1990s. Those who want to relive the events of Terminator 2 will find No Fate to be an arcade title ready to throw you into the fight against Skynet. Probably, with a few more mechanics, the title developed by Bitmap Bureau could have really left its mark.
