Fallen Times

*Fallen Times*, developed and published by DaFu Studio, is an indie first-person shooter that leans heavily into retro design principles while layering in an unusual mix of storytelling styles and tonal experimentation. At its core, it feels like a deliberate throwback to an earlier era of shooters—one that prioritizes raw gameplay, minimal guidance, and player-driven exploration—but it also attempts to push beyond that foundation by incorporating narrative elements that are far less conventional for the genre.

This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. And of course they're trying to profit from this. There's also some bespoke content, and we know it's bespoke because it's absolutely terrible. This first person shooter has some garbage plot about another dimension called, I kid you not, "Fancy Moon". It truly is a terrible plot combined with a very lazy asset flip, with poor level design made of stock assets and the same enemies strewn randoml…
