Rumors about the launch of Duke Nukem for a handheld system, specifically the PSP had being doing the rounds for quite some time now. Apogee Software’s long awaited Duke Nukem: Critical Mass is however now available for the Nintendo DS and has finally rolled out in North America. The game is apparently the very first of a trilogy of games.
This time Duke Nukem is out in the future to save the world from dreadful aliens, who have captured all the babes and brought human kind to near extinction. This one man army is on a mission to destroy all the aliens, rescue the babes from captivity and populate the world again.
Players will enjoy seven game modes, including two user activated modes and three difficulty settings for more harsh challenges with nine monstrous bosses, who are ready for vengeance. The two player co-op allows gamers to take up live challenges, and let their fifteen infuriated weapons do the talking. The game further has nine locations and thirty levels that add up to the bloodshed. With extreme violence and a sexual theme to the title, the ESRB has rated it at ‘T’.
The game is now available at retailers across North America at a suggested price of 29.99 USD (approx. Rs. 1,344).
