Feeling like we’ve gone back in time ourselves we play through the entirety of Bitmap Bureau’s Terminator 2D: No Fate and take on a number of new and iconic locations and familiar enemies in both present and future levels to put a stop to Skynet and the impending apocalypse.
Terminator 2D: NO FATE delivers a brutal, arcade-style side-scroller that reimagines the world of Terminator 2: Judgment Day in glorious 2D pixel-art — complete with pulse-pounding action, classic run-and-gun combat and intense boss fights. As either Sarah Connor, John Connor or the iconic T-800, you’ll fight your way through nostalgic renditions of the film’s most iconic moments — and explore new “what-if” scenarios that diverge from the movie’s path. Expect a mix of shooting, sneaking and raw brawler-style combat as you evade the T-1000, battle Skynet’s forces and take part in gritty future-war missions.
On top of its faithful recreation of T2’s atmosphere, NO FATE adds replayability and choice: your decisions during key missions can unlock alternate story paths, secret levels and different weapon loadouts — giving players a fresh experience even on repeat runs. Mix in pixel-perfect sprite work, a soundtrack inspired by the original film score, and a faithful arcade flow, and you’ve got a side-scrolling action game made for fans of retro shooters and Terminator lore alike.
