In the year 1997, the maniacal Dr. Proton has developed mechanical creatures
known as Techbots. Commanding an army of Techbots, the insane scientist
intends to conquer the entire world. There is only one hero on Earth who can
stop him with his guns and attitude: Duke Nukum.
Based on the same game engine as Crystal Caves, _Duke Nukum, Episode 2:
Mission: Moonbase_ is a side-scrolling shooter with platform elements. Most of
the gameplay consists of shooting enemies and exploring the environments,
trying to reach the exit and advance to the next stage. Some of the
environment is destructible: obstacles can be eliminated by shooting them.
Defeated enemies yield points to the player. Duke can also collect power-ups
to increase his health or upgrade his gun, as well as pick up inventory items
with special abilities. At the end of most levels the player may receive bonus
points, depends on his performance and achievements unlocked during gameplay
(e.g. destroying all security cameras).
The game is the second episode of a trilogy; each episode was released
separately and also as a complete game. In this episode, Duke follows Dr.
Proton to his moonbase, after the evil scientist has escaped the hero’s wrath
in the previous episode.
