About Recession

Recession is a 4v1 cop vs. robbers multiplayer shooter. Four robbers attempt to rob a central location full of money bags while a single cop with heavy armor and weapons tries to take all 4 down before they can escape with the cash.

In Recession, the police force has access to heavy military-grade weaponry and armor. To cut costs, only one officer is sent out to take down groups of criminals.

Meanwhile, the criminals are just trying to make a quick buck, robbing banks, convenience stores, and more.

FEATURES

  • Fast-paced, four vs. one gameplay
  • Asymmetrical maps
  • Low poly, flat-shaded, art style
  • Unique play-styles for both criminals and police
  • POLICE: Attack the criminals escaping with money bags using brute force or stealth.

2/5 stars Gameplay: Good enough gameplay, simple to use, simple to play Graphics: To put it simply, the graphics were most definitely not adequate I understand that the game is still Early Access, but is it worth money. Not quite there yet guys. Maybe take a page out of Unturned 3's book, make it free to play.

Recession was featured on The Gaming Show Episode Two here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j81xPCFbn0c&t=26s I was really looking forward to this game coming out and bought it day of release. However I refunded it after 40 mins of gameplay. The only positive I can give it is that it runs well with no lag or crashes but it's just boring. The game consists of basically loading up on one side of a very small map with a building in the centre. You pick up a gun, walk a few feet, shoot a metal door that collapses like a rock wall, then pick up one of 5 small money bags on the floor and walk back to the van a few feet away with a cop shooting at you but the hitboxes are that bad that if you run or jump you don't take any damage. The maps are tiny, the characters look distorted, there is no asymmetrical gameplay as the description states. It is exactly the same whether you are playing as the cop or one of the robbers. The cop, although advertised as having heavy armour, is quite easily killed and if not, one person can keep him busy while the other 3 grab the cash, the cop is no threat whatsoever. The rounds barely lasted 5 minutes. I can't recommend this game, there are plenty of other …

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.
