About Apocryph: an old-school shooter

https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/596240/extras/1_info_engl.png
Apocryph is a FPS set in a brutal dark fantasy world. It takes it's roots in old-school fantasy shooters, so prepare for intense sword-and-sorcery FPS action amidst forgotten castles, evil shrines and decrepit dungeons!

https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/596240/extras/2_setting_en.png
The world of Apocryph is a grim, violent place, harboring magic, dark rituals and dangers around every corner. Wherever you go you'll be facing unrelenting monsters, traps and locked passages, and can only depend on yourself and your equipment to survive the trials.

- Static, carefully handcrafted levels and level-hubs, all packed with secrets, monsters and traps.
- Your character can wield up to 9 different weapons with alternative fire modes, including melee armaments, spells, staffs and artifacts.
- Items can help you in tough situations, health potions will aid your health, mana vials can restore your mana, combat items can do some damage to an opponent.
- There are also more rare and powerful relics to be found, such as the dreaded Obliterator Mask, which encases you in a suit of nigh-impenetrable armor, allows you to bash enemies with your plain fists and send powerful shockwaves across the walls and floor, or the Essence of the Reaper, which turns you into an avatar of Death itself, boosting your speed, granting you wings to perform double jumps and a wicked scythe which cleaves and destroys any opponent.
- Some weapons and items can be used to stun enemies, freeze them solid, deal area of effect damage or even provide defensive measures.
- The game uses a sophisticated gore system. A powerful finishing blow can rip a part of the enemy right out of him, while critically over damaging an opponent literally blows them to pieces, with limbs flying across the room and sticking to the walls.

You control the Arbiter, once a person of a high rank in Xilai religious hierarchy. The Xilai were known for many things, such as their artistry, magical arts and unity. But all the worlds feared them for a different reason - the Xilai worshiped Death itself. For centuries they raided countless worlds, reaping souls in the name of their dreaded Mistress.
Events preceding the game have led to your exile, and now, after many years you return back, only to find fortresses and lands overrun with demonic spawns and vile beasts. Why were you exiled? What could cause this desolation? It's time to find some answers... and reap some demon spawn in the name of Pale Mistress.

I feel like this had potential but it really doesn't work for what it's trying to be. I think the main way it misses the mark is weapon variety. Most of the games it replicates have if not a ton of weapons at least a few distinct ones. The way the magic weapons work in this is just a little too samey, all shooting colored blobs that sort of explode on hitting an enemy or maybe don't (there isn't a lot of feedback when shooting) and they all feel almost the same to use. There's the basic blue staff that shoots a shotgun spread, a green rapid fire gauntlet, a grenade launcher(?) purple daggers, ect. But they all are just variations on the same magic missile. The weapons honestly remind me a lot more of Ziggurat than like, Powerslave or Strife, and Ziggurat is a good game but it's clearly not what they're going for with the whole heavy metal wannabe boomer shooter. Also that game is a roguelike so the weapon variety is not like the central focus. Painkiller has you staking witches to walls and shotgunning skeletons in the first levels, this game has you shooting magic blobs slightly faster at a bunch of doom demons that have really let themselves go. The enemy variety is actually pr…

OK parts that form the whole but lacking execution and weight. Not compelling.

Хороший олдскульный шутан. Да видно что бюджет и команда крошечные, игра имеет свои кривости но удовольствие вы получите

This is mid af. The weapons aren't fun to use, the visuals are stock and weirdly wet in some places, but what irks me most is the generic music switching to "intense" generic music when there's a bunch of hostiles on screen. Turning my mood from indifference into mild annoyance. Hostiles walk into your sightline then you whack or shoot at them, no strategy other than backpedal and strafe. There is no real sense of urgency to warrant a change in music. I don't remember how long back I bought this but I hope that I spent less than 3 dollars on this during a sale and If you paid 15, I feel bad for you.
