atmosphere3 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Impressive work for a solo developer showing passion and dedication over multiple years.
  • Strong atmosphere and visual style that effectively evoke dark sci-fi/horror and Resident Evil vibes.
  • Engaging squad-based tactical gameplay with a fun, bite-sized campaign and unique voice acting.
  • Combat and gunplay feel rough and unpolished, with poor recoil control, weak weapon impact, and overly tanky enemies.
  • AI (both friendly squad and enemies) often behaves poorly, getting stuck or acting uncooperatively during combat.
  • Performance issues including frame rate fluctuations and crashes; lack of features like a map, co-op mode, and clearer UI hamper replayability and navigation.

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    Gameplay receives mixed feedback, with some praising its engaging flow and tactical squad elements, while others criticize technical issues like unstable FPS and a lack of depth. The core concept is appreciated, but several users feel the gameplay could benefit from more polish, detailed mechanics, and additional content or tutorials to enhance the experience.

    • “The gameplay is smooth and feels tight so far.”
    • “The atmosphere, gameplay, and pacing make time fly by and keep you wanting to play more.”
    • “The gameplay is fun from the start and manages to keep you engaged.”
    • “The gameplay feels very weird as the FPS fluctuated greatly. I have a 4090 and 9800X3D, and still, when a wave of enemies came at me, I was in 50 FPS territory at 4K.”
    • “The core premise is cool, and I like supporting indie devs, especially solo ones, but the gameplay is jank, FPS is poor, and details are missing that make this game really quite fun. I hope the dev takes the feedback onboard, and once more content comes, I will be sure to give the game another spin.”
    • “The game would also benefit from having an actual tutorial level to explain the mechanics.”

  • atmosphere

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its strong, immersive, and dark tone, with effective sound design and visual style enhancing the experience. While some audio clarity issues arise during combat, the unique character designs and squad dynamics contribute to a compelling and well-integrated setting that compensates for less polished gameplay elements. Overall, the atmosphere is seen as a standout feature that elevates the game's storytelling and mood.

    • “The action itself isn't the most polished, however I found the strong atmosphere and visual style made up for it.”
    • “The good is that the atmosphere, sound design and setting are pretty good; it's basically what RE Operation Raccoon City should have done. The gun sounds are good, the models are nice, and the feeling of playing with a squad is quite good, as each member has their own look and feel, plus unique weapons.”
    • “Atmosphere is nice so far, and tying back to the story there is even a lore explanation for why the surface is so dark, which shows attention to detail.”

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The story has a strong atmospheric vibe with well-designed voice effects that enhance immersion, though some dialogue can be hard to hear during combat. While the lore shows thoughtful world-building and attention to detail, the overall narrative feels bland and underdeveloped, limiting engagement. Improvements like clearer audio cues and better mission indicators could enhance the storytelling experience.

    • “Atmosphere is nice so far and tying back to the story, there is even a lore explanation for why the surface is so dark which shows attention to detail.”
    • “The bad is that the game is basically a tech demo, the story is very bland and although there is lore spread out throughout the game, it's not really interesting or deep.”
    • “So to expand on what I have interacted with, there is a story and from what I have read in-game, there was some genuine thought put into it.”
    • “I really like the atmosphere and how well it fits the storyline.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are praised for their cinematic, appealing art style, particularly resonating with fans of corporate kill team aesthetics, though some users find them somewhat generic. There is also a desire for enhanced graphic settings and improved frame rates to elevate the multiplayer experience. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong aspect but have room for technical improvements.

    • “I've always enjoyed the tone and aesthetic of corporate kill teams in settings like Resident Evil, so this game naturally drew me in.”
    • “I was initially drawn in by the art style and this remains one of the strongest aspects for me.”
    • “Gameplay is good, graphics, while a little generic, are pleasing to look at.”

  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game shows improved optimization with reduced stuttering and generally smooth performance on devices like the Steam Deck, though occasional random frame rate dips persist. Despite these gains, some aspects like combat feel unpolished, indicating the game is still in an early, alpha-like state.

    • “I played the entire game on my Steam Deck OLED, low settings, no V-Sync, capped frame rate via the Deck's performance profile, and using lossless scaling to find an acceptable frame rate.”
    • “The game seems well optimized for the most part.”
    • “The game experiences random dips in performance.”
    • “For reference, I played the entire game on my Steam Deck OLED, low settings, no V-Sync, capped frame rate via the Deck's performance profile, and using lossless scaling to find an acceptable frame rate.”
    • “The game feels like it's in an alpha state. The combat honestly needs work, gunplay feels like you're shooting peas, and the recoil is overstated. The squad mates need more interaction as they feel like gun turrets and little else at this point, and the game experiences random dips in performance.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers a solid experience, especially for a solo developer, but its replayability is somewhat limited due to certain unfinished combat elements. Overall, it remains enjoyable despite this drawback.

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game’s stability in the demo was problematic, with frequent bugs impacting the experience, though it remained enjoyable despite these issues.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the grinding experience tedious due to manual inventory management, specifically needing to manually stack ammo before picking up new items. Automating ammo stacking on pickup would significantly improve the flow and reduce repetitive tasks.
