Weapon of Choice DX

An alien invasion brings grotesque creatures to Earth, and you take control of the Solus Operatives sent to fight them. The game is a side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter with a strange, hand-drawn science-fiction style.

Each operative has a distinct weapon with primary and alternate fire, along with individual abilities. When an operative is downed, you can send another to continue the mission and try to recover fallen teammates; a close-call dodge gives you a brief chance to escape danger.

Levels offer branching choices that shape your route through the campaign, and rescuing characters expands the roster of operatives available to play. Different paths and endings invite replaying the campaign with other characters and weapons.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its unusual, grotesque art and frantic run-and-gun action. Reviews also call out the variety of operatives and their weapons, plus branching paths that add replay options. Others find the style off-putting or the action less enjoyable, and several note that the campaign is short.
