Kiss: Psycho Circus (2000) "The Starbearer" campaign playthrough - Forgotten FPS
(English below) Gameplay de Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child, juego lanzado en el año 2000 y desarrollado por Third Law Interactive y Tremor Entertainment. Se trata de un FPS que, si he entendido bien, se basa en una serie de comics que a su vez se inspiran en el álbum Psycho Circus del grupo musical Kiss. O algo así...
El juego consta de 4 campañas, una para cada uno de los 4 personajes que podemos elegir al principio, siendo la de Pablo Ramirez "The Starbearer" la que se recomienda jugar primero, y aquí muestro dicha la campaña completa. Aunque lo conocía, nunca antes había jugado a este juego, hasta ahora que me ha dado por probarlo, por lo que con este gameplay es la primera vez que lo juego. No esperéis un gameplay perfecto, y además me dejo la mayoría de los secretos.
En mi opinión, el juego no es gran cosa, pero no está mal. Me recuerda un poco a juegos como Serious Sam o Painkiller, pero en entornos más reducidos. No es uno de esos juegos que dirías que es injusto que haya caído en el olvido, porque realmente no aporta nada en especial (salvo quizás su extraña ambientación), pero creo que es suficientemente interesante como para echarle un vistazo si ya has jugado a todos los grandes clásicos.
El juego usa la versión 1.5 del motor Lithtech de Monolith Productions (una pequeña evolución del usado en juegos como Shogo y Blood 2). Este motor no se caracteriza precisamente por su buen rendimiento ni siquiera en equipos actuales, y su compatibilidad en la actualidad es bastante baja, hay que tirar de fixes, afortunadamente este tiene un parche hecho por un fan que facilita mucho las cosas, aun así, el juego no se mueve nada fluido, al menos en mi caso.

Gameplay of Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child, a game released in 2000 and developed by Third Law Interactive and Tremor Entertainment. It's an FPS that, if I understood correctly, is based on a series of comic books that in turn are inspired by the album Psycho Circus by the musical group Kiss. Or something like that...
The game consists of 4 campaigns, one for each of the 4 characters that we can choose at the beginning, being that of Pablo Ramirez "The Starbearer" the one that is recommended to play first, and here I show that complete campaign. Although I knew about it, I had never played this game before, until now that I wanted to try it, so with this gameplay is the first time I play it. Don't expect a perfect gameplay, and I left out most of the secrets.
In my opinion, the game is not great, but not bad. It reminds me a bit of games like Serious Sam or Painkiller, but in smaller environments. It isn't one of those games that you would say it's unfair that it had fallen into oblivion, because it doesn't really contribute anything special (except maybe its strange setting), but I think it's interesting enough to take a look at if you've already played all the great classics.
The game uses the 1.5 version of Monolith Productions' Lithtech engine (a small evolution of the one used in games like Shogo and Blood 2). This engine is not exactly characterized by its good performance even on current equipment, and its compatibility is currently quite low, you have to use fixes, fortunately in this case there is a patch made by a fan that makes things much easier, even so, the game does not move smoothly at all, at least in my case.
