Terrorist Despoiler: Become an expert in destroying bridges to stop the baddies

Terrorist Despoiler is a game where you need to stop terrorists from delivering a bomb to the intended destination. It is technically a destruction game although it does use a physics-based engine. The graphics style is fine and has been seen before. The sound effects are somewhat passable. The music in the background sounds like remixed versions of old classics.

You become a demolitions expert in Terrorist Despoiler. The terrorists in the game are driving trucks full of explosives from the left hand side of the screen to the right. A bridge stands in the way of the terrorists. Your job is to stop the terrorist truck from crossing the bridge. You are given a number of explosives to do this. The number of explosives you have is based on the level. The bridge has struts and other support structures that are holding it up according to the physics engine.


The purpose of each level in Terrorist Despoiler is to figure out how the bridge is being supported by the struts and to determine all the weak points. You might have only one or two explosives to use. This can make the task very challenging. You have to click on the different struts in order to place a bomb. Once you have all of them placed, then you need to start the level simulation.

You begin the destruction by clicking the start button. This causes the terrorist truck to begin moving forward. A new button shows up that lets you blow up all the bombs you placed. You cannot just click one and then the other. The level ends just a few seconds after your detonate the bombs. This means you need to watch the truck and detonate the bombs at the optimal time.

Terrorist Despoiler is actually well thought out and fun. The frustration comes with the fact that it takes a large amount of effort to find the region on the screen where you are allowed to plant bombs. The hit detection for bomb placement seems to be off. This leaves you clicking on bridge planks endlessly hoping to finally place a bomb.

The 15 or more levels in the game do get progressively harder. There are different materials the bridges are made from and different types of bombs to handle those materials. The complexity keeps the game challenging. Terrorist Despoiler is a very interesting and fun game that you should try out.
