1. New Challenges And How To Handle Them
For
each level or floor you complete, you will notice
that things will get more challenging slowly but
surely — more
enemies, certain levels
where you won’t
have any available equipment to choose from, and eventually, more challenging layouts
that can make it harder
for you to reach
the elevator
and make it to the next floor.
Aside from the actual map layout of these levels,
you will also need to pay close
attention to the security cameras that could
make henchmen turn
around and possibly catch you hiding
behind a wall. The enemies won’t
exactly become more
accurate at this
point, but these
cameras will certainly make you more vulnerable.
Next up, you’ve got the lasers, which
manifest in the form of a forcefield that would injure you if
bullet, but you won’t automatically
get killed if you cross a laser forcefield.
There
are blue-and-yellow buttons
that you’ll need
to walk over
in order to disable the
lasers — that’s
easy enough, but you will
ultimately deal with
levels that have
laser forcefields that
turn on and
off automatically, thus
requiring you to time your
approach when trying
to move forward on the map and avoid
getting caught by the lasers.
The
lasers aren’t the worst thing
you’ll be dealing
with as the levels become
more difficult. Ultimately, you’ll
encounter the turrets,
which appear mounted
on walls starting
at the tenth chapter or thereabouts, and these can be very tough to get around unless you’ve
got a Jammer
— as we mentioned, they’re
not too useful
at first but can be indispensable when you’ve got at least one turret
to avoid per floor.
Otherwise, you’ll need to time your
movements carefully to avoid getting
blasted by a hail of bullets and losing a ton of health.
In addition to the above challenges, you will encounter some boss battles
where they have their
henchmen around
to help them out. These
will pop up every now and then,
typically right before you’re about to move on to a new background/setting, but you’ll need to follow
our early advice and take your time if the boss has some underlings helping him out with his dirty work.
