Wicked Plague

About

Wicked Plague casts you as Ramuel, a kid wielding a flamethrower-like Gun-Lighter to survive spooky sewers and crumbling halls. The gameplay blends shooting baddies and leaping over obstacles, often on tiny Game Boy Color screens. Each level demands quick reflexes to avoid hazards while juggling aim and footing. The controls feel a bit clunky but rarely unfair, with simple weapons and straightforward objectives. What stands out is the mix of precision shooting and tricky platforming packed into a handheld format of the late 90s. Developer Locus-motion crams decent variety into limited resources, with shifting environments and enemy types to keep things from feeling repetitive. Fans of retro platformers who don’t mind a rougher edge might find it worth a playthrough.
