About Lightphobe
✦ AI summary
Lead a squad of soldiers defending objectives against wave attacks from ethereal Lightphobes in this asymmetrical PVP shooter that splits teams between gun-wielding defenders and agile melee creatures with wall-jumping abilities. The unique twist: Lightphobes gain invisibility in darkness and require a light source to expose them, creating tense cat-and-mouse gameplay that rewards both tactical teamwork and patient, skillful ambushes.
Lightphobe is an asymmetrical team-based PVP game that blends stealth action with fast-paced shooter gameplay. Choose between defending the earth as a squad of well-armed Soldiers, or join the dark horde of ethereal skeletal creatures known as the Lightphobes!Easy to pick up but hard to master, Soldiers play in a first-person perspective just like your typical FPS. Soldiers will need to defend the active objective from encroaching Lightphobes and also be careful not to get killed in the process.While AI-controlled Lightphobes (bots) may be easy to predict and defend against, things change when human players are added into the mix. Coordinate with your fellow teammates to survive together!Playing as a Lightphobe requires a high degree of skill and patience. Being limited to melee attacks makes it difficult to kill your enemies, but the increased difficulty also makes it extra satisfying when pulled off successfully.With their enhanced maneuverability, Lightphobes can use wall jumps to quickly scale vertical surfaces. They also have a natural invincibility in the dark, and must be exposed by a special light source before they can be killed.If you enjoy the difficulty of sneaking up and knifing players in FPS games, then this is for you!

I picked up the "supporter pack" because it looked like it would be a blast for my 20ish player annual LAN party. We play tested last night with 4 players, and all I have to say is "Wow!". Single dev? Free game? This thing is professional. There's no over-promise and under-deliver here, just pure deliver. The game is stable, smooth, and runs well. The game is basic, but its gameplay is extremely fun and interesting. Even with less players and more bots, it was still a great time! We tried to break it by dropping in 25 soldiers and 125 lightphobes but it ran flawlessly, no bugs. I can't wait to throw 20 people in this and go nuts!1 found this helpful
What this game may lack in polish and raw options, it makes up for in being wonderfully balanced, and pitch perfect as a party game. The idea here is fantastic, and is implemented in a great way. There's some UI elements that aren't perfect, there's some things that, as I said, need to be polished, but those things could come with time. Mechanically, it's great. I recommend trying it out with a few friends, equal members on each team, with at least a few extra AI team members to help you out. We had 4 players, 2/team, in I think a 10v10 game. It was an absolute blast\, and we plan to LAN party this one.1 found this helpful
6/10
All Ai bots not a single player in the game
Positive review because the Dev seems like a nice guy. The game however I didn't like, it's free though so try it for yourself.
