Indie Intermission – ‘Kim Jong-Un’s Glorious Missile to Liberate the Nations DX’

Over the past couple of months North Korea has been in the public eye once more for their dubious missile testing.

Over the past couple of months North Korea has been in the public eye once more for their dubious missile testing. They seem to always find a way to upset the world but are they really ruled by an evil tyrant? Or are they just misunderstood?

Kim Jong-Un’s Glorious  Missile to Liberate the Nations DX is a great political satirisation by Dremelofdeath that puts you in the hands of Kim Jon-Un’s Christmas holiday missile. Although you must take this rocket half way around the world to bring the glory of the holiday to the White House and the west is not going to just let this rocket bring holiday cheer to the White House are they.

The game plays out like many traditional high speed arcade games in which you must dodge pretty much everything, as this rocket seems to be made of cardboard and birds appear to be massive.

Each level has its own unique setting and the game starts off ridiculously easily, but rapidly becomes very taxing. The settings are rather amusing, if not rather unbelievable especially when rabbits managed to jump up into the sky at you, or monkeys swing from the sky jumping down on you.

Although I have yet to discover the true intentions of  North Korea as the third level is rather difficult. One thing is for certain, I am sure Ban Ki-Moon is playing this game as I type this to try to establish Kim Jong-Un’s true intentions.

Average play time – 8 minutes

Kim Jong-Un’s Glorious Missile to Liberate the Nations DX has been created in this fantastic retro style that reminds me a lot of the early Nintendo days. With a great sound track and a lot of humour imparted on this game it really is hard not to love it.
