About The Protocons
High Intensity First Person Shooter Action Adventure Game
During the last battle in the fight to free your people from the ever tightening grip of The Protocons your commanders ships were lured into a trap deep in the heart of the Protocon Empire. The Protocons boarded Commander Riker's ship ceasing him and what was left of the round table council. It is not quite clear what they are up to, but as the remaining white knight the fate of your civilization rest in you. Your old friend and systems specialist Natalie was left stranded on what was left of the ship, very resourceful and a much needed ally in your quest.

8k Video Game | 4k Video Game | 3 Monitor Video Game
8k video game releases in 2018 are set to push the hi res video gaming resolutions higher than ever before. 4k video games have become more prevalent now that more gamers are opting to drop the 1080p resolution in favor of the higher pixel count of the 4k. While everyone else is catching up Appsif is moving forward. With many 8k displays in development and pc gamers known affinity for multiple display set ups we felt the need to future proof the game with the inclusion 8k, 4k, 1080p and 720p to allow players on older systems to still play the game.

✦ AI summary
Players are divided on this indie FPS, with some appreciating its vaporwave aesthetic, music, and old-school charm at a low price point, while others criticize its simplistic mechanics including basic enemy AI that just charges forward, lack of customization options, poor text-to-speech narration, and unpolished features like missing fullscreen and non-textured enemy models. The game appears to appeal mainly to players seeking retro-style nostalgia and casual gameplay rather than those wanting depth or refinement.
Text to speech. A single 3d enemy model with different colors. Enemies have no coding except to march in lockstep toward the player. Ugly environments, terrible gunplay. Avoid. https://youtu.be/9uuMlmZ3nK432 found this helpful
Cool game dig the graphics and gameplay. The music is neat and makes it really immersive. I made it to the first check point. Seems like a challenging game. Not sure what this hater dude is even talking about.5 found this helpful
This is an extremely basic game, with simple AI, simple controls, a flat linear world and run and shoot gameplay. I would not recommend this for any serious gamer. Cons: - Runs in a window, not fullscreen - No ability to configure keyboard/mouse controls - No ability to invert the mouse Y-axis - No audio controls - AI simply charges, no intelligence - Linear world Pros: - Decent graphics4 found this helpful
Solid game. Independent release, so it has it's quirks, but overall pretty enjoyable. Definitely challenging, and has a subtle kind of old school feel for anyone who likes a bit of nostalgia.2 found this helpful
[h1]Overview[/h1] I'm going to start this review by saying I have had a talk with the developer and he plans to update the game to make it better. This game has potential. It has a consistent pink vaporwave theme and you get to shoot many of the non-textured "Protocons". It has a storyline of some sort even though the narrartor is very poor. Overall I would classify it as a time waster. [b]Cons[/b] [list] [*]The "Protocons" lack a texture [*]The narrartor sounds like a robot and it just of poor quality [*]No customization as of right now, told it would be implemented [*]There is an overusage of some textures while other not so much [/list] [b]Pros[/b] [list] [*]There is a storyline [*]An offline FPS [*]Developer updates [*]No in-app purchases [*]consistent theme [/list]1 found this helpful
The game isn't perfect and has a few bugs, but I really enjoyed playing it. The music is great and fits the aesthetic of the environment. I love the overall look and feel of the game and the text-to-speech makes the protocons seem less human so it adds to the feel. For the cost of a good beer, the game is worth the low price and will last longer.1 found this helpful
