I managed to get this game really cheaply as a local computer shop went out of business. You play as a guy who throws swords at things, that then explode into a zillion other things, mostly indistinguishable from the overly busy backgrounds and the presumable enemy that seem to attack little but your frame rate.
I like to imagine a grumpy Jeff Minter made this game one day to torment people who do not take drugs because JESUS GOD there is no possible way that actual people developed this game. Unless someone from Hewson said "Hey let's make a game based on projectile vomit, but let's REALLY GO TO TOWN on the vomit".
I assume there is a plot of some form but as its impossible to tell what is happening on-screen anyway, I will describe it briefly as "goldfish fantasy" and remark further on the fact that you actually cannot see what is happening at any time in this game.
Some may say that if William Burroughs wrote a game it would be similar to "Onslaught". I would agree with that, but with the proviso that that game would NOT be "Onslaught", rendering it immeasurably better.
As others have noted, the winning strategy in this game is "go to the right pressing until the collision detection breaks and the entire screen explodes in shimmering objects, none of which can be identified".
In conclusion, I did not enjoy this game very much. If that shop was still open I would claim my £1.99 back, but in a malicious parting shot they closed before I could ram my copy of "Onslaught" into their greedy faces.
