Mala Petaka is a pseudo-3D shooter with a first-person view. It may be of interest to fans of old school jokesters. The plot begins with amnesia. Unlike other projects, here they offer to play as a villain. The anti-hero, who has lost his memory, destroys aliens and robots, while simultaneously trying to understand what is happening. The protagonist can fight with his fists. To carry out attacks from afar, there is a pistol, an assault rifle with a telescopic sight, a shotgun, a grenade launcher, and a plasma cannon. Almost firearms have an alternative firing mode. The barrels do not need to be reloaded, but they do consume ammo. Ammo can be found in locations or knocked out of enemies.

You can also find bonuses on the map. One of these items stops time for a short period, thereby allowing you to destroy frozen enemies. There is also temporary invulnerability and increased damage. Mala Petaka is not just retro-styled. The video game is based on a port of the first Doom called GZDoom. The developers made eight-bit graphics and added a chiptune-style soundtrack. In addition to shooting aliens and drones in this title, you need to look for keys to doors in order to be able to advance further. Players are given 6 types of difficulty – from the standard easy, medium and hard to more exotic options like god mode or instant loss from any hit.
