[edit] Storyline

Chex Quest 2 starts with the Chex Warrior returning to his home planet and landing in Chex City. As he lands he notes with a little apprehension that everything is quiet... Too quiet. As he leaves his ship, it becomes apparent that the Flemoid threat has reached his homeworld! Grabbing his trusty zorcher again, he races to the rescue of his beloved home. Battling through a spaceport, a cinema, a museum, and through the city until he reaches the sewers, where he faces The Maximus!

[edit] Weapons

In Chex Quest, the weapons, called Zorchers, assist in sending the Flemoids back to their own dimension.

Type of Zorcher Weapon from Doom it Replaced Description
Bootspoon Fist Mêlée, weak weapon
Super Bootspork Chainsaw Mêlée, slightly stronger than Bootspoon; rapid enough to keep single enemies at arm's length
Mini Zorcher Pistol Standard weapon; slow rate of fire
Large Zorcher Shotgun Stronger than Mini Zorcher; will zorch most basic flemoids in one firing
Rapid Zorcher Chaingun Rapid firing weapon
Zorch Propulsor Rocket Launcher Fires zorch energy in a blast radius or "gateway" and affects many Flemoids within an area
Phasing Zorcher Plasma Gun Rapidly fires high-damage projectiles
Large Area Zorching (LAZ) Device BFG9000 Extremely large area of attack, will 'zorch' almost every Flemoid in sight as a result of a huge energy "gateway" opening

[edit] Flemoids

In Chex Quest, the enemies are creatures supposedly made of phlegm that the Chex Warrior (you) must send back to their own dimension.
