Terminator 2D: No Fate feels less like a modern action game and more like a lost run-and-gun classic—especially Contra.

In this no-death full playthrough, I break down how the game’s weapon behavior, enemy grids, and boss encounters echo classic Contra design, while also drawing comparisons to the original NES Terminator 2. Throughout the run, I point out visual callbacks, gameplay patterns, and design choices that strongly suggest old-school inspiration over modern trends.

I also touch on why the T-800’s design in No Fate feels closer to Arnold’s stunt double than Schwarzenegger himself, and how that might’ve influenced the developers’ artistic direction.

This run finishes death-free with an extended attack chain and a near-5 million score, while keeping the focus on observation, pattern recognition, and classic arcade fundamentals.

A brand new Stealth Ninja method that completely NERFS that last guard who gives everyone fits. Put Sarah’s foot right inside the dark tile in front of the water cooler and you’re golden. Neither the guard nor the security camera can see you, and you have full view of the guard’s movements and can time your attack on him perfectly without blowing the undetected run. This Stealth Ninja nightmare just got smashed!
