Our verdict
Blake Stone: Planet Strike is a decent sequel for fans.
Blake Stone: Planet Strike is the 1994 sequel to Aliens of Gold, again developed by JAM Productions and published by Apogee for DOS.
Gameplay
In 2149, Dr. Goldfire has been tracked to the planet Selon, where he’s using the abandoned STAR Institute Training Complex to build a new army of mutants. Blake Stone goes in to finish him off.
- Campaign: One linear campaign of 20 levels plus four secret levels.
- Objectives: Find a fission detonator and destroy the Security Cube to exit each level.
- Map: A reduced minimap, with magnification power to recharge.
- New enemies: More mutants and security systems.
It’s a tighter, harder game than its predecessor, but by late 1994 the Wolfenstein engine looked old next to Doom. Apogee later released the source code.
Verdict
Blake Stone: Planet Strike is a decent sequel, but it was outdated on release. Fans of the first game will enjoy it.
The Good
- Tighter level design

- More Blake Stone
The Bad
