INVASION (2023)

The only really good thing about this game is the graphics. It's a Corridor 7 clone that is broken in the way it controls to the point that it's both jarring and nauseating. There are only three short levels and they all play the same. The only enemy that was able to kill me was this chomper creature that takes all your health at close range, the other enemies deal pitiful amounts of damage. Since you can barely turn the mouse for some reason, the creature will take all your life in two seconds so the main game consists of carefully opening doors and backing away while trying to turn as little as possible while you shoot. Level three has a long empty corridor that looks like it's saved for a boss or something but actually contains nothing. Open the door, you get some stats and you are kicked back to the title screen. Seriously, there are 100 games of this type that are better. The original Corridor 7 had multiple keys, visors for detection of things like infrared, a map system, multiple ammo types, boss fights, etc. and that game came out in the 80s. Even for an indie game I was mostly irritated and happy that it was a very short experience. Try Gastro Force, it's similar to this…

A Wolfenstein-style game from 1982 No story as such, but it's great old FPS for killing time!

Not really worth it - only has 3 levels. The final level looks like an arena reserved for boss fight but there is no boss. There are no controls remapping. I can recommend it for the price if there's at least even one Wolf3D episode's worth of gameplay in there. It's more like a demo. You get 3 weapons, can only pick up 1 clip's worth of ammo for them. That's fine from a gameplay design perspective as all 3 levels are not really difficult to go through.

INVASION is a compact first-person action game that combines old-school shooting with straightforward exploration and light survival mechanics. Developed by BloodRain Publishing and published by RetroScope GM, it keeps its ambitions deliberately modest, focusing on a simple gameplay cycle rather than complicated systems. Players are placed on a hostile alien planet where survival depends on exploring large areas, fighting strange creatures, gathering useful supplies, and eventually locating the key required to advance to the next stage. The basic progression is easy to understand. Each location contains a key that must be found before the player can leave, turning exploration into an important part of the experience rather than making combat the sole attraction. While searching, players encounter alien enemies and must manage the ammunition available for their weapon. Medical kits scattered around the environments provide opportunities to recover health, making resource collection useful even though the game never develops into a demanding survival simulator. The resulting structure feels closer to a traditional retro FPS with survival elements than a modern crafting-heavy surviva…

Not worth it Pros: Graphics are okay Cheap Cons: No map No Steam Achievements All weapons use the same ammo Only 3 levels Only 3 types of enemies No final boss I give it 2.2/10

As soon as I enter the game, no matter what I do with the mouse, the mouse slides. Even if I shoot, the mouse slides to the right. I cannot move the mouse up or down. No matter where I turn, the mouse turns to the right. Developers, please help.
