Death Wake

Amtix! (78 out of 100)

As blow em ups on the Amstrad go Deathwake is quite an impressive offering, though to be honest the competition with which it has to contend is far from amazing. It's a weensy bit derivative in places as well, the inspiration seems to have been supplied by Beach Head, although Deathwake departs from the original style set by US Gold and is actually quite competent. Deathwake's main failing is the graphics, exceptional they aren't but adequate they are. Apart from that I'm sure Amster fans of this genre will be able to get a worthwhile amount of fun from this release.
