I'm a sucker for "Retro" or "Old School" FPS games. Lately there have been terrible/garbage retro FPS games hitting Steam lately, so when I saw this and how interesting it looked, I figured I'd give it a shot! Well this game is, sadly, not that good. It's interesting but needs a lot more work. I didn't complete the game because I lost all interest in it real fast and I will explain everything that is wrong/needs improvement in this game. First problem I had was the movement felt slow, and running for me didn't even work. I had to bunny hop everywhere to move around fast enough. My other problem that there is no vertical mouse look. That doesn't sound too bad right? Well only if there isn't any platform/pits to jump over... And there is. Not being able to see how close you actually are to the edge is annoying and can cause you to just walk off the edge to your death. The 2 weapons that I got to use were just not fun to use. The pistol you first pick up is basically a water pistol, with TERRIBLE feedback. The "bullet" is like a puff of black smoke and impossible to tell if you even hit anything. The sounds aren't that good either. The second weapon I picked up was the "Assault Rif…

if your expecting aiming down sights or more modern shooter mechanics, then this is not for you! as far as throwbacks to a forgotten era, this is pretty close to it. this is not a long game, you could probably complete it in under two hours if your quite competent in the old doom/duke nukem 3d era of games. for some reason the first level or two is the 'hardest' with suprise creeps around every corner but once past that its relatively easy and straight forward, do not let children fool you, there is no 'platforming' in this game there is merely jumping over pits, which is mind bogglingly easy... i encountered a few bugs with falling and requiring a restart, and the game itself is lacking proper options(exits game instead of to menu) i bought this during the sale period, i would not buy this at full price, this is imo not worth more than 3 bucks, given its length and narrow scope of play(no arcade type elements like timers for speed running e.tc) that you would think would be in a throwback like this overall its ok, its nothing special, but it is for the most part 95% functional, only get this if you have some burning desire to play duke nukem 3d but somehow lack duke nukem 3d, …

Thought I would like it based on the intro, but the gameplay itself really was a letdown. Shooting enemies felt off and hit-registering wasn't implemented at all (no audio queues, etc.). Determining where the shots would land were also a hassle. The way the first gun was animated made it feel like it had a range of about 1 meter, which in itself made it all even more confusing. All this basically resulted in me constantly firing at the enemies until they disappeared (got "ctrl-x'd"); sounds like an FPS, alright, but me doing so were because of being unsure if the shots would even register. The little music I heard was catchy, at least, and managed to keep my interest during the first level.

This is a great little gem, super cheap yet super well done, has an interesting story, banger OST and awesome looking Doom-esque sprites for weapons and enemies.
