Escape from Terror City

While I think the indie gaming space needs more 'gallery shooters'. So games like Wild Guns and Bot Vice. This one on the other hand just feels so dreadful to play. Couple it with annoying music and sound effects.

Has some technical issues, wish it was more customizeable (gamepad controls, cursor move speed, etc) but the art and gamefeel of these arcade style games is always what's most important and the developer nailed it. Nice pulse-pounding feel whenever you shoot a boss and it flashes and freaks out. Love the train stage, wish more levels had the same cinematic feel.

[b]Escape from Terror City[/b] offers one of the best Run'N'Gun gameplays in 3D. If you liked old Contra games but were disappointed by the direction the franchise took in the PSX era, this game might be for you. It puts all the action in 3D, keeping the general bullet hell gameplay that requires you being precise and knowing what you're doing. Dear developer, you are amazing! Please do more!

Escape from Terror City captured my interest with it's name and it's "Mega Man Legends meets CGA" look but it was a big disappointment... The Good: - fairly unique look The Bad: - the controls and hit-detection aren't precise enough for a bullet-hell game like this - bottomless pits and no camera control is an awful combination - almost every enemy is a bullet-sponge which gets boring quick - no extra weapons, no weapon upgrades - almost nothing in the way of options or costumization - the game is strictly linear and barely 30 minutes long (which, in this case, is too long) - music is pretty awful The Summary: It's bad, don't buy it. 2 out of 10

A decent little arcade shooter. It reminds me a bit of Wild Guns with the the horizontal shooting mechanics, minus the special abilities, power ups, and dodging. A simple game to pick up and play with more and more challenge as you progress.

I have no idea why developers sabotage their own game. I mean this had real potential but the execution is just terrible. For one, ANYTHING above 1080P, even though it natively supports my native 4K and all resolutions in between, is unplayable because you can't see the aiming reticle. You see, the aiming reticle is not scaling with resolution correctly, it gets smaller and smaller the higher the resolution. So everything else scales correctly except for that. WHAT'S THE POINT? Secondly, the design is stupid and I stopped in the middle of level 2. In level 1, there was a health pickup after the first enemy then another after the second enemy. Except there's no point,. as ANY competent gamer will dispatch those two enemies with zero health loss, as I did. YET, further on when the game gets tougher and you actually start losing health and maybe lives, there are zero health pickups. Level 2? Health pick up immediately offered yet I finished level 1 with 1 health bar on the boss, and it starts the next level with fully refilled health! So you might say go back and get them when you need them, you can't. As you progress, previous areas are blocked off by the usual barriers. There…
