Nun Attack

Blast-phemy

by Damien McFerran 11/12/2012

Your average nun is about as likely to brandish a firearm as hell is to freeze over, but it's this amusing central concept which gives Nun Attack much of its forward momentum.

A crack team of four sisters of mercy is out to stop a wayward nun from opening up the gates of damnation itself, and the only tool of their divine justice is guns. Lots and lots of guns.

Each level in Nun Attack features a section where you're travelling the overworld, taking down portals, opening treasure chests, and eventually making your way to the final portal at the other end of the stage. Once you reach this point you enter a battle situation where Satan's hordes are unleashed and you have to take them down, one by one. ...

Nun Attack is disappointingly repetitive and suffers from some control issues. Its biggest assets are its excellent visuals and sound - neither of which can maintain your interest beyond the first hour or so
