Chex Quest 3 is the next instalment in the Chex Quest promotional game series. While not truly a sequel as it requires the original to play, it does incorporate new gameplay but the same engine and system. However, do bear in mind that it cannot stand alone, and you need its predecessors for it to function. The premise of the game revolves around the Chex breakfast cereal, although the enemies are more like bodily functions.
In Chex Quest 3, you play the Chex Warrior, you must send the Phlegm monsters back into their own dimension using 'Zorchers.
' Gameplay is very similar to Doom due to the fact that it's basically just a Doom mod. Through the game you fight different phlegm monsters such as a flying Cycloptis (replacing the pink demon from Doom) and the Bipedicus (replacing the shotgun guy). Eventually you will fight Flembranes (replacing the Baron of Hell).
There are many breakfast and chex based power ups such as glasses of water, bowls of fruit, slime repellent and super chex armour. If you are a younger gamer or you can humour the childish nature of the weapons and enemies, it plays very similar to Doom. Albeit a lot easier, especially if you, like me, were really fond of Doom and progressed far into the game.
Most of the puzzles
involve getting blue, red, and yellow keys in order to open the respective doors; there are secrets as well, which often give a large advantage in a quite easy game. Still, if you play on a high difficulty, the game is enjoyable; the sounds of slurps and squishes as you destroy the green phlegm monsters are quite unique, and the weapons are slightly different to Doom's making finding the latest Zorcher quite enjoyable.
The irony of a child-like Doom is quite enjoyable and I recommend this game to any fans of the series. This game is too silly not to experience.
