PATHOGEN X

The game was fun to play. I would describe the game as a darker and shorter version of Serious Sam. It is maybe a little inspired by games like F.E.A.R. or Trepang2 but fighting zombies instead of armed enemies. It is NOT a horror survival first-person shooter where you have to count every shot fired and try to save every piece of ammunition you find. You instead fire many rounds at hordes of enemies approaching. No real jump scares or chase sequences. The game is more focused on lighthearted action. The story is generic, and the conversations are 80s-inspired. I liked the banger soundtrack of Pathogen X. For those people having a PC with an AMD RX 7900 XTX: The game crashes my system instantly after starting before even the main menu shows up. I have played the game on the Steam Deck LCD. With a keyboard and mouse, it works like a charm; the last level gets an FPS drop. I would recommend Pathogen X if you can get it for under $5. @dev: I think it would have been better to develop the Pathogen X either more into a F.E.A.R. clone or to make it more into a every round counts survival horror shooter like Cry of Fear. If it was your intention to create the game as it is, a lighthearte…

> Premise & Story: 4/10 Another laboratory base where experiments have gone wrong. You're a lone mercenary sent to retrieve an important sample of Pathogen X. There are no real twists, and the story gets a little boring, but it provides enough of a reason to keep moving forward and killing zombies. Character dialogue feels stiff, but it clearly explains what you're doing and serves its purpose. > Gunplay: 3/10 The shooting lacks impact and feedback. Weapons don't have much feeling or kick, and sometimes I wasn't even sure whether I was hitting an enemy. In some places, enemies can also shoot through walls, which makes combat feel less polished. > Level Design: 4/10 The levels are very linear. Most of the time, you move through corridors, activate scripted events or defend a small arena. The environments are dark and the lighting works very well in some areas. Game has a decent horror atmosphere. Unfortunately, there isn't much exploration or room for player choice. > Guns: 5/10 There are five standard FPS weapons: a pistol, SMG, shotgun, carbine, and sniper rifle. The SMG and carbine feel quite similar, while the shotgun feels satisfying and effective. The sniper rifle is probab…

very fun game, very fun gun play, dark, zombies

really fun game so far , only played 30 minutes and I like the soundtrack and the tight corridors in the game , it makes the game get intense , graphics look good and the controls feel good too, i wouldnt wait for a sale its definintly worth the $10 price tag as is .

Honestly, quiet a fun game, came across multiple little funny things that I won't spoil. Definitely need to support this creator. Fantastic Job! I highly recommend :) I wouldn't listen to the bad reviews saying its too clunky ect. It runs really well, when you load into new sections it pauses for a second, which is not too many times in the game which is pretty good. People, remember this isn't a company that makes Call of Duty or Resident Evil. This is a solo developer!!

really good game 👍
