  • Summary: Dreamkiller takes gamers inside the world of dark and twisted nightmares. Gamers take on the role of Alice Drake, a psychologist with the extraordinary ability to enter the minds of her patients and combat the ravenous foes haunting their dreams. Utilizing a host of fantastic weapons and her own special abilities, Alice confronts our common demons only to discover an even deeper menace reigns within. The ultimate showdown becomes inevitable between that which would torment and she who will protect, and only one force will prevail amidst a variety of dreamscapes as varied and bizarre as the human mind itself. The world of dreams and nightmares allows for each level to be a completely different environment with different sets of enemies. In each dream world players can enter a secondary level of the subconscious - a world within a world - and encounter new enemies, weapons and power-ups. Players can use Alice’s teleportation powers to quickly zoom around rooms to dodge enemies and achieve a tactical advantage over enemies. Alice's weapons are massive and fierce, each featuring two unique attacks and outlandish ammunition including lightning bolts, lasers, sticky grenades and even "Happy Thoughts." [Aspyr]… Expand

    Dreamkiller amuses for the time that lasts, about 8 hours. It is sold at budget price.

    It's fun, but the fun is short lived. Dreamkiller is a copy-cat game that tries to emulate Serious Sam but places Sam in a cube.

    Try as they might, none can't clear the bar that was set by Painkiller. Left to its own devices, without People Can Fly's support, Mindware Studios created but a pale imitation. Some people can't fly, indeed.

    This game was a unique experience into the simple fps genre. Rather then the classic Judeo/Christian heaven hell story, or aliens, we are give a glimse into the world of dreams. It could have been better. But if you just want to kill time, this is a great time waster. I should have delved deeper into the whole nightmare part of the game and turned this into a well written and portrayed horror game. As it sits however I had more fun with Serious Sam.… Expand

    i dont find this game bad, i find it sad. sad that such limitless potential is squandered so so grueling gameplay, such boring environments, a more compelling storyline and some characters you can actually feel with, instead of some tattoo badgirl blowing out worse oneliners than arnold schwarzenigger in conan the barbarian (she is standing is a ruin with with debris swirling around a black void overhead, and utters proptly "something isnt right here"... way to go sherlock) the gameplay is repetitive, and ultimately boring. you wander from room to room battling spiders, wierd looking fellas with metal claws and mech dogs, and wierdly enough the spiders from a arachnophobiac appears in the mind of guy who dont like overwork. also, the bossfights are a pain, blowing into a guys nuts for 10 minuttes untilhe goes boom, i think i got past that some 10 years ago... all in all, the 6 is only for its premise… Expand

    Its like Painkiller, but you only have 2 guns at any time. That kind of just made me stop playing after 10 minutes.
