Hellbreaker

Hellbreaker is a fun game, not sure why it didn't got more attention... Looks like it flew under everyone's radar, haha where are those so called "influencers" when you need them ? Non stop fast paced action, put your brain aside and kill everything type of game. Nothing really good though, it could have been better if it was a bit more polished and balanced. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2207917763 I'm getting some QUAKE II vibes with the levels artstyle and ennemies design. The level design is alright nothing groundbreaking tho. The weapons are cool and satisfying with nice gore effects and persistent blood. Graphics are okayish, the game runs on an old version of unity so framedrops are to be expected. For the most parts i played it was smooth in high quality. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2207914761 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2207913808 Main game mode puts you in time limited levels, be fast and get gold medals, silver and so on. It's also possible to play all levels without the pressure of the time limit, giving a more forgiving experience to explore the levels at your own pace and enough time to…

On paper, "retro" and "mod friendly" can look like some appealing assets. That is, when you don't take time to consider a coherent theme or default maps that are of substance. Instead you got some really barebones levels that can be played in any order, almost all of them seem to have the same hanger-esque design: huge spaces that are mostly empty. bland textures, boring enemy skins and enemy scripting. So yes, on paper "retro" and "mod friendly" sound great, when there's an actual game I feel compelled to see modifications of. But this ain't it. I've been having a lot of optimism in the promise for new mod fanbases for future retro style fps's, but unfortunately there will be some mediocre excuses for insubstantial barebones projects like these. This still looks like the beta version of something that later went on to become good. The only difference is I just paid money for beta part. The cart before there is any horse, or financial incentive to even make the horse at all so I'm just potentially stuck with this empty boring cart.

just disappointing

Fast paced action similar to Doom and Quake with a level editor included, highly recommended

Old school type shooter. Reminds me of the type of games that I use to play back in the early 90's. Only thing I didn't like about it was the timer but you can shut that off in the options. Otherwise I enjoyed it.

The dev posted a thread about this a few years ago and I picked it up. The movement is fast and fun, and the guns are very satisfying. I had a performance hiccup once in the outdoor level but it got fixed, and thanks to the limited visuals it runs at full blast with 100+ enemies on screen with no issues. Good art direction keeps the game looking nice despite those visuals and there's good variety in how the levels look and play. Chasing gold medals is extremely fun and the game is very straightforward with the criteria for a gold rank, a big plus. If you like Doom, Quake, or UT this game is a great deal for a few afternoon's worth of fun, I'm looking forward to what this developer does next.
