The music in the game is widely praised for its high-energy, hardbass soundtrack that enhances the fast-paced gameplay, creating an adrenaline-fueled experience reminiscent of titles like Hotline Miami. While many players find the soundtrack to be a standout feature that keeps them engaged, some note that the tracks can become repetitive over time and express a desire for more variety. Overall, the dynamic and well-produced music is considered a key element that elevates the game's chaotic charm and immersive atmosphere.
“The music and the bass banging away in your headphones as you run through hallways blasting goons and kicking butts is a feeling that is very hard to beat.”
“The sheer adrenaline created by the mix of music and intense gameplay can be enough to drive you forward, smashing into unfamiliar levels and reacting to threats as the bass pounds in the background.”
“The soundtrack is absolute fire, jaybooty is in the same boat as Mick Gordon or Jeremy Soule, just not in the same genre.”
“The dynamic soundtrack is also really unique and appreciated.”
“However, it's worth noting that the music can become repetitive over time, with limited variation in tracks.”
“In comparison, the music is pretty disappointing; tracks are recycled for stages that would otherwise be memorable.”

The gameplay of "Anger Foot" is characterized by its fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled mechanics that blend first-person shooting with a unique kicking system, reminiscent of "Hotline Miami." Players enjoy a variety of sneakers that offer distinct abilities, enhancing the gameplay's depth and replayability, while the dynamic soundtrack complements the chaotic action. Despite some critiques regarding level design and optimization, the overall experience is described as addictive, fun, and engaging, making it a standout title for fans of high-energy shooters.
“Anger Foot successfully embellishes its simple mechanics and delivers an uncompromising 'gameplay first' experience that is sure to have adrenaline junkies hooked on its lightning-fast, decidedly silly slapstick action.”
“The gameplay loop is simple, 'easy to learn, hard to master'.”
“The gameplay is exceptionally thrilling and damn addictive.”
“Visuals/art style is beautiful and fun, very colorful, but the music and weapons don't carry enough weight and not enough bass; gameplay feels surprisingly slow for this type of game.”
“There's sometimes where I'm going for a challenge only to realize I made the wrong choice and then need to back out to the map, choose a new shoe, and then reload the map, which does detract from the otherwise fast-paced gameplay.”
“After a few levels, the enemies, weapons, and mechanics felt repetitive - the art and music were still really cool though.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting severe performance issues, particularly during intense gameplay scenarios and in outdoor areas. While some users have noted improvements following recent patches, the overall consensus is that the game requires further optimization to enhance stability and frame rates, especially for those using high-end hardware. Despite these challenges, many still find the game enjoyable and are hopeful for future updates to address the performance concerns.
“Really great foundation for a game that needs more performance and bug patches ASAP.”
“Despite some performance hiccups here and there, it's a pretty stylish-looking game that plays well.”
“Overall, great game with huge influence but suffers from optimization issues that'll be fixed.”
“Playing on the Steam Deck, despite the verified badge, became increasingly frustrating due to severe performance issues.”
“The performance is so bad; 99% of the frames were 20 in medium settings 2k with everything off including anti-aliasing. I have an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800X, so it's unlikely to be my PC. I'm not going to refund since the beta worked perfectly, but I don't recommend it now until they fix the performance issues.”
“It's frustrating that these performance issues weren't addressed before release, especially considering the game isn't open-world and has relatively few assets.”

The humor in the game is a standout feature, characterized by a blend of slapstick, toilet humor, and witty dialogue that resonates with players looking for chaotic fun. Many reviews highlight the game's ability to integrate humor into its mechanics and level design, creating a vibrant and absurd world filled with quirky characters and unexpected gags. While some players appreciate the juvenile and over-the-top nature of the jokes, others find them hit-or-miss, suggesting that the humor may not appeal to everyone.
“This game is just brimming with new ideas to the FPS genre, genuinely funny humor, and a kind of pothead dirtbag vibe that makes it feel like underground rock.”
“The story is comically silly and the humor integrated throughout the levels always made me chuckle.”
“The dialogue is funny, the characters are funny, the motivations of some characters is funny, what they're doing is funny, how they look is funny, their names are all punny and it's all wrapped in a neat little bow.”

Overall, while the visuals are praised for their creativity and fun design, technical performance remains a notable concern.

“The art style and overall audio/visual pairing work so well together, and the environments in themselves are just fun to walk around in and scrutinize when you manage to cool the frenzy for a moment.”
“The game's vibrant visuals are a feast for the eyes.”
“The last boss and subsequent levels were particularly cumbersome, with frame rates dropping to as low as 15 fps even with all the graphic settings turned down to their lowest.”
“However, performance is very poor for these kinds of graphics.”
“The visuals are very basic and levels relatively small; there is no excuse to release the game in this state.”

Overall, the blend of humor, action, and unique world-building contributes to a fun and memorable gaming experience, even if some players find the story somewhat intrusive or underdeveloped.
“The story is comically silly and the humor integrated throughout the levels always made me chuckle.”
“Somewhere along the way you realize the story that's a joke is actually fun and engaging and somehow kinda' moody, and you start to get 'into it', with the hectic action, awful but lovable cast of characters, dark, vulgar but somehow witty humor, all along to an insane gabber soundtrack pulsing at the forefront, you just feel the vibe this game has going for it.”
“The story of your lad, one Mr. Anger Foot, who has all his prized footwear stolen by the city's most notorious criminal gangs and goes on a rampage through the entire city to get them back.”
“The writing is typically not that important for games like Anger Foot - the story is simply there as a loose framework to justify why you're wiping out hordes of crooks with your deadly feet - but even then, what we got is really disappointing.”

“I myself am not a patient person and ended up closing the game after getting tired of running the same mission time and time again.”

90%Anger Foot (PC) Review
While it may have kicked my ass to kingdom come, Anger Foot is a creative approach to a chaotically simple FPS that’s light on the shooting and heavy on the kicking. Despite the simplicity of its controls, it is a refreshing take on an FPS that encourages players to do something other than mindlessly shoot enemies. I cannot wait to see what else Free Lives and Devolver cook up!
