Play Ecks vs. Sever (E)(Independent) Online
Squeezing an FPS onto a GBA was madness, but here it is—you’re creeping through cramped hallways, thumb cramping from those tiny buttons, and somehow it works. Pure early 2000s handheld chaos.
Ecks vs. Sever came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, published by Vatical Entertainment. It was one of those early attempts to bring a first person shooter to a handheld, a time when developers were still figuring out what the hardware could really do. The game stood out for its ambition, even if the execution felt a little rough around the edges.
You control an agent navigating tight corridors and open areas, clearing rooms of enemies one screen at a time. The main goal involves progressing through levels, gathering keycards, and engaging in close range firefights. Signature mechanics include using a limited selection of firearms, managing ammo carefully, and relying on auto aim to help with the cramped controls. The pacing is deliberate, sometimes slow, and the difficulty can spike without much warning. It feels like a condensed, slightly awkward translation of a PC shooter, but there's a strange charm in making it work on such a small screen.
