However, the game still is lacking Rock Monsters which are the main antagonist for most levels and where I think the challenge really comes in. The game in the course of a year has remade 65% of the OG levelsĪdded all vehicles to be used (and a new one not originally in-game due to engine limitations at the time).Ĭompletely remastered/developed all textures and a lot of sound files. The game is so true to it's predecessor/original it even has an option for random crashes if you'd like. Essentially the exact same, Maniac Miners instead offers the experience on the Unreal Engine, Remastered Audio/Textures, actual Physics, MASSIVELY improved scripting, support for modded levels (including the famous BAZ mod) and even a in-game map editor if you want to go hard. The game Lego Rock Raiders (1999) has been turned into Maniac Miners (2020).

Coming up in an updated you'll be able to drive the vehicles as well FPS style. For those who haven't played yet, it's a great way to pass some time and the remastered version (Titled Maniac Miners) is a completely new game in of itself that utilizes new graphics and technology.

The atmosphere was also more serious rather than kid like extending a deep feel or connection to the game. For me, it was the very first introduction to RTS style game play during the golden age of the 90's and also is considered one of Lego's greatest games. However as you progress you find yourself having to survive time limits, Lava eroding the ground, Resuce trapped Miners, Air supply running out, Rock/Lava Monsters and Slugs that can cripple your game quickly.Īdmittedly, this is big news for those that played it back then and will appeal most to those as such. This is alot easier said than done as the first couple of levels originally start out easy. The only way to escape death is to mine energy crystals and Ore to build up the base and eventually power back the massive flagship to earth. For those that don't Lego Rock Raiders was the Lego Company attempt at making an RTS based off of Lego figures that got lost in outer space. This remaster and essentially new game captures everything from the 1999 Lego Media Classic.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you haven't heard already there's been a complete overhaul remaster of Lego Rock Raiders available for download.
