Staggy the Boy Scout Slayer II

Staggy the Boy Scout Slayer II is a simply awesome side-view fighting game. Despite its name, in Staggy you kill much more than boy scouts - ninjas, crossbow men, invisible guys with sickles, paratroopers and even camels all need dealt with. The game has six melee weapons that can be bought, in addition to the sword you start with. The best weapons require a battery, meaning they can only last for part of the level. Each of the weapons acts different enough to require their own strategy, rather than being increasingly powerful versions of the same basic weapon. There are two other weapons that are only dropped by enemies, a single grenade and a super-powerful white sword. Other power-ups include health packs, god mode and money.

All of the units are randomly assembled from different parts, meaning that even the same type of guys look different. The hit system is extremely complex, sending weapons and organs flying as you kill opponents. Some enemies are ripped apart, revealing their organs, while others will loose their head, only to have blood squirt out their neck. The sound in the game is good, with music playing through all the levels. The only option that would have been nice to see is the ability to turn off the music and leave the sound effects.

While seemingly simple, the game play is far more than simple button mashing. Timing, weapon choice, power-ups and the terrain all have a big impact on the game play. If you haven’t played this game yet, I would highly recommend you check it out.
