Christmas goes rogue in this arcade shooter
Stopping Santa flips the Christmas script with an arcade-style shooter packed with holiday flair and jazzy tunes. In this action game, Santa isn’t the jolly figure you know—he’s a greedy villain exploiting elves and destroying the environment. You play as a UN-hired mercenary, sent to stop his destructive reign.
Take Santa’s empire down
Stopping Santa is a top-down shooter with smooth, snappy controls, backed by jazzy background music that adds a surprisingly fun contrast to the chaos. Armed with your weapon, you’ll blast through waves of Santa’s minions in snow-covered battle zones, fighting for justice and elf rights.
While the concept and tone are undeniably unique, the gameplay loop lacks variety. Enemy types don’t evolve much, which can make sessions feel repetitive after a while. Still, the game’s humor and fast-paced shooting offer short bursts of fun, especially for players who enjoy novelty and satire.
A not-so-jolly holiday
In conclusion, Stopping Santa is a cheeky, action-packed twist on holiday gaming. It is perfect for players looking for a quirky shooter with a sense of humor, though it could use more depth in enemy design to stay engaging longer.
