I think Disobey is a better song but I agree, I can’t just listen to ODDKO songs. I can only listen to them while watching their music videos.

I agree, the forced combat parts in Catalyst are the worst parts of the game. The final boss wasn’t too bad for me but there was one part where you were forced to fight ~30 enemies and that was awful. Glad it only happened once.

I guess for me, in the original I’d always miss a jump or run into a wall and then I’d have no momentum to do any other moves. So I was constantly slowly climbing ladders or walking up stairs. I think Catalyst was more forgiving because I was actually able to chain moves together and build real momentum. That made the game much more fun.

Definitely seems like an inspiration. I agree though, this isn’t exactly a unique premise. The Antonio Banderas movie Automata also has the same plot. But Automata has more cyberpunk visuals than Mars Express.

No, no real favorites. I usually just queue up his whole discography and let it play. I think there’s an album with vocals that I always skip though.

I don’t know, I wish they had released Anyone For Doomsday and just stuck with the sci-fi metal shtick. I mean, the lead singer of Powerman 5000’s big brother is Rob Zombie and he’s been milking the horror shtick for decades. Powerman 5000 could’ve done the same thing for sci-fi. But I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

Agreed. ‘Tonight The Stars Revolt!’ and ‘Anyone For Doomsday?’ were peak Powerman 5000 albums. They were awesome.

I’m curious about this too. I wish I knew if the admin had some other account (like on mastodon or something) just so he could tell us whether it’s coming back or not.
