YMMV / Redline: Gang Warfare 2066

• Nightmare Fuel:
  • The Templar Sanctum. There are templars crucified to the walls, and even some of the Templars you fight are horribly mutilated. There's also some kind of Initiation Ceremony where you have to push 4 red hot switches (which damage you as long as you are in contact with them). Even Liddy says "This place gives me the creeps".
• Scrappy Mechanic: All of the game's cutscenes are in-engine, and, infuriatingly, your character can still be damaged and killed during a cutscene even though you can't move or do anything to fight back. Why anyone thought this was a good idea is a mystery, especially considering the game does have a God Mode cheat, so you can't just say the engine wouldn't allow it.
• That One Boss: multiple examples:
  • The Prototype Templar Tank in level 3 is quite a step up from Rant. It doesn't use it's BFG (a blue blob of energy that basically one-shots anything) but still has dual Hitscan lasers, and a ton of hp on each "side", so much you will likely use up all your ammo, although fortunately there are two pick-ups that completely refill your weapons. Occasionally the tank will get stuck trying to turn, allowing you to wail on it if you get really close, but usually gets free after a couple of seconds.
  • Borik. He's supposed to be a Mirror Match (same car, same hp, same weapons) but clearly has much more hp than your car (if you try just ramming into him and shooting, your car will always explode long before his even has the windows broken.) As if this weren't bad enough, midway through the fight you learn he informed some of the Red Sixers, who join in and start attacking,thankfully, Liddy eventually comes in help in the Company Tank you recovered back in level 3
  • The High Priest (codenamed "Archmagus") in the Templar Sanctum. He can Teleport Spam and has an electric attack which does about 80 damage a hit. Thankfully, if you still have the Gauss cannon, it's pretty good vs him.
  • The Leper boss (codenamed Golem) He's not as bad as the Templar boss, but is still hard due to having to fight him in a cramped control room with little room to dodge (his only gun does quite a bit of damage), and a few Mooks in the area with him.
  • The rematch with Rant as the Final Boss. Take the Templar Tank fight, only give the player just a few crappy, and badly damaged, vehicles to fight him with (with only a couple pickups in the area). Even after you destroy the tank you (spoiler: have to fight Rant again on foot, Who has Taken A Level In Badass since the level one fight.
• That One Level: "Boom". Right after the starting cutscene where you sell the serum from the previous level to some people, you find out they have put a Time Bomb on your car, as well as making all the doors impossible to open, thus, your only hope is to make it to a Company garage and have them cut you out before the bomb explodes. Not only is the level pretty hard, including having to successfully drive across two narrow bridges at high speed (the time limit is tight enough that you don't really have time to slow down and line up your car), but, if you take too long due to crashing and/or getting into fights, it might be straight up impossible to make it to the end in whatever time you have left over forcing you to restart the level.
