Total Mutant Mayhem on iOS!
Duke Nukem takes his Mighty Boot to the Big Apple. Using G.L.O.P.P. (Gluon Liquid Omega-Phased Plasma), the maniacal Mech Morphix has transformed the creatures of New York City into an army of bloodthirsty mutants. In Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Duke must deploy W.I.N. (Weapons, Insults and Name-Calling) to rid the city of goo-based bad guys, and return peace and tranquility to The City That Never Sleeps.
Originally released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Duke Nukem in 2002, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project blends together the best elements of Duke Nukem 3D and the best 2D sidescrolling of the first two games in the series, Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II.
From babes, bombs and Battlelords, to goggles, guns and Gargoyles, revisit Duke's dynasty with these re-released classics. Return to a time when the King Of Action didn't need regenerative health or auto-aim - a time when action games were actually about action, an era when heroes had the strength to carry as many guns as they wanted and use as many cheats as they needed.
Celebrate Duke Nukem's 20th anniversary in sunshade-wearing, quick-quipping style with a title that - alongside the re-release of Duke's first two adventures - recognizes a series that's had a tremendous impact on an entire industry, and represents the best of Duke in a way that no other game could.
*** Key Features: ***
A Good Day To Duke: Rip 'em a new one with 9 brand new weapons, including the G.L.O.P.P. Ray, Pipe Bomb, Pulse Cannon and the almighty "press-to-kill-everything" X-3000.
New York, New York: 8 huge levels across various regions of New York City: Rooftop Rebellion, Chinatown Chiller, Metro Madness, Unholy Underworld, Fearsome Factory, Tanker Trouble and Deviant Drilling. And the last level is, let's say, a little out of town.
Evil Has A Snout: Blast, jump and smart-ass through more than 25 enemies, including Pig Cops, Gator Grunts, and Roachoids.
What Are You Waitin' For?: A potent blend of old school gameplay and smooth 3D visuals, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project brings together the best of both Dukes for the ultimate Duke Nukem experience.
Let's rock!

8 of 15How disappointing! I spent several hours progressing through the game only to have a crash upon opening. This is happened twice already and I have lost hours of time. I’m not going to try again because you never know when it’s going to crash again. There seems to be no way to recover this.

Every time I load the game I get to the screen to select easy normal or hard as soon as I click on one it glitches out to my home screen very disappointed
Loved this game on PC. I figured it would be great to pick up and play on the go in bits at a time. The touch controls are quite hard to use with precision. Platform jumping and jump kicks are hard to pull off on the phone. I think when the app was first developed, iPhones had more empty space on the tops and bottoms of the screen, but now they fill the screen edge to edge. This gives you very little room to both hold the phone and touch your thumb to the buttons at the edge. The game is also missing the Look and Zoom feature of the original, making platforming even more challenging. The option to purchase items appears to be broken, but good riddance- that was a pathetic cash grab. The pros? It’s Duke Nukem after all.
Epic game, but glitches with flying DUKE... please fix, then it will be 5/5
Awesome game. Best mobile game i have ever played. Its a classic side scroller with all the fun of duke nukem classics
I love duke nukem :3
Technologically speaking, this looks great on iOS, despite a few bland and repetitive environments. I had a couple of corrupt save files. I addressed this by replaying the latest stage or the one before and continuing through. Nothing permanently broke the game. For Duke Nukem fans, all the cheesy 80s-90s humor involving Duke kicking more alien butt is here on full display. Story 5/5. The platforming game style feels like a step back from the full 3D Duke games we are used to, but it is an adaptation that works well on mobile. Unfortunately, there are a few bugs with jumping, grabbing platforms, and bouncing off enemies. Duke can also only fire in 3 directions and weapons are the only way to hurt enemies. Also, there is almost no strategy to fighting. Just fire first, preferably with a pipebomb on a higher platform, and keep moving so you don't get shot by an offscreen enemy. Gameplay 2/5 The sound is what you would expect. Bland ambient background music. Gun blasts, and John St. John's stellar voiceovers for Duke. Sound 4/5 The presentation is what really hurts it for me. Although technically impressive for high res textures and full 3D environments, it has a very sixth console generation appearance involving a lot of bland repetition. Also, the character models are fairly low poly. There is some variety between locations - Streets, Club, Subway, but each slog on too long with the repetition. With so many artistically presented 3D mobile and mobile platform games available today, I cannot forgive this. Presentation 2/5 This is a game I cannot ignore as a Duke fan, but if it wasn't a Duke game, I'd probably write it off as a Playstation 2 Era novelty at best. Overall 3/5
