Drak
A genetically engineered super-soldier and the player character, sent to carry out the mission inside the hostile complex.
How it plays
How does Obliterator play?
Obliterator uses a side-view perspective across interconnected rooms and platforming areas. Drak must explore the hostile complex, deal with creatures and other hazards, collect items, and reach the mission’s objective.
The player moves through platforms, corridors, and rooms while using weapons against enemies. Progress is based on learning the layout, locating objects needed to continue, and avoiding traps or damage rather than following a separate stage-by-stage score structure.
Limited resources and dangerous encounters make cautious exploration important. The game’s challenge comes from combining platform movement, combat, and item-based progression.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Obliterator?
Explore each room methodically and remember routes between connected areas. Search for items before assuming that a blocked passage is inaccessible.
Avoid unnecessary combat when possible. Learn enemy movement patterns, preserve health and ammunition, and approach unfamiliar platforms or hazards carefully.
Use repeated attempts to map the environment. Progress is easier once key locations, safe routes, and required objects have been identified.
