  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the soundtrack as a standout feature, describing it as worth the purchase alone and reminiscent of classic midi tracks. However, others find it boring and repetitive, suggesting that while the music is decent, it may not be enough to elevate the overall experience. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight for some, but not universally appreciated.

    • “Only good thing about this game is the music.”
    • “It's worth buying it for the music alone.”
    • “The soundtrack is also pretty decent, with cool MIDI tracks reminiscent of Doom.”
    • “The soundtrack is boring and repetitive; there is no story that I can find, and the controls make it almost unplayable.”
    • “Started up the game, went to the options, and realized that there were only 3 bars to adjust the main menu music, game sound effects, and game music.”
    • “I bought it when I listened to the music in the video above.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are polarizing; while some players appreciate the unique raycast aesthetic, others criticize the overall quality, describing them as ugly and lacking polish. Despite some effort in design, many feel that the graphics do not meet modern standards, especially given the absence of graphical options. Overall, the visuals are a mixed bag, with distinct art styles that may appeal to some but disappoint others.

    • “Good for players who are looking for more of that raycast-type aesthetic, rather than a more polished ZDoom experience.”
    • “Good graphics, fun weapons, good music and sound effects, and good controls.”
    • “Despite having a distinct art style (the main reason I came to this game, the other reason being a 75% discount resulting in about a €1 purchase), it has some drawbacks.”
    • “Secondly, while some effort went into the graphics, no thought was put into them.”
    • “So after accepting the changes, getting back to the main menu, and starting a new game, you'll notice very quickly how bad the movement is, how bad the controls are, how ugly the graphics are, and how bad the gunplay is.”
    • “Despite having a distinct art style (the main reason I came to this game, the other reason being a 75% discount resulting in about a 1€ purchase), it has some drawbacks.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is widely criticized for being confusing and poorly developed, with many players noting a lack of clarity and engagement in the narrative. Reviewers express frustration over the absence of a coherent storyline, contributing to an overall negative experience.

    • “From my few minutes of playtime, there was absolutely no storyline, and I had no idea what was going on.”
    • “The soundtrack is boring and repetitive; there is no story that I can find, and the controls make it almost unplayable.”
    • “Besides the lazy map design of the late levels and the confusing two-paragraph story, there are other game-breaking issues.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of frustrating controls, including janky mouse aim and slow bullets, which detracts from the overall fun. While it draws inspiration from classic FPS games like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, featuring fast-paced arena combat and progressively stronger weapons, the stiff movement mechanics hinder the experience.

    • “Cyber Utopia is an old-school FPS that I loved; it reminds me of Corridor 7 for some reason, but plays like Wolfenstein 3D. It's a fast-paced arena FPS, aka old-school FPS, without a reload mechanic and weapons that get stronger and stronger, kind of like Doom but with maze-level design.”
    • “Combine the start/stop movement, janky mouse aim control, and slow bullets, and you have a recipe for gameplay I'd call the complete opposite of something fun.”
    • “Stiff movement mechanics.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's art contributes to a decent atmosphere, despite its simplicity; however, the janky RGM engine and short length of only five levels make it feel more like a demo than a fully realized experience.

    • “The art is nice, and they've managed to create a decent atmosphere for such a simple game.”
    • “The art is nice and they've managed to create some decent atmosphere for such a simple game, but the RGM engine is extremely janky, and the game is only about five levels long, feeling more like a demo than anything.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is negatively impacted by frustrating technical issues, such as unintentional navigation to the start menu when progressing to the next stage, which can detract from the overall experience and immersion. Players are advised to save frequently to avoid these disruptions.
