Yes I know...the Arkham games exist! It’s more of a joke. Not that Die Hard Arcade isn’t amazing
Die Hard Arcade defies explanation; I’ve watched the movie every year at Christmas because when I was a kid my dad insisted it was a Christmas movie (thanks dad) so it’s become a tradition. After I watch the movie I have to play Die Hard Arcade...because it’s like the bizarro world version of the movie.
If you’ve ever seen the film here are some things you will see in the game that you won’t remember from the movie; quadruped robot spiders that shoot lasers at you, firefighters trying to murder you with axes, sumo wrestlers that try to body you in the bathroom, a white mulleted villain, the President’s daughter being kidnapped and dominatrix women trying to beat you in office hallways...to name a few!
I miss the days of these old licensed games when developers basically slapped a title on a game and then made something that had little to no resemblance to the licensed property itself. Friday the 13th on NES was an awesome example of this.
But Die Hard Arcade is hands down my favorite licensed game of all time.
anyone have any recommendations that are similar? Not actual licensed games that follow the cannon (like the Rocksteady developed Batman games) but the absurd licensed games.
but you def should play this at Christmas! And watch the movie. It’s not the holiday season till John McClean kills Hans Gruber!
