  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as vibrant and beautifully crude, featuring a cutesy, comic book aesthetic reminiscent of classic titles. Players appreciate the excellent performance and unique visual style, which stands out in contrast to many choppy Unity engine games. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's charm and appeal.

    • “This is an incredible indie game and part of the graphics are vibrant, the performance is excellent, and I believe the developers rolled their own engine, because in a world of choppy Unity engine games, this one's install size is a scant 80 megabytes.”
    • “Wonderfully silly graphics.”
    • “The graphics are beautifully crude.”
    • “Feels kind of like Chex Quest, with cutesy graphics and somewhat pointless gameplay.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and reminiscent of DOS-era narratives, featuring sparse plot elements that unfold through level interactions with NPCs, particularly the unprepared planet police force facing an alien invasion. While some players appreciate the basic plot as a motivating factor, others express a desire for a more substantial narrative or none at all.

    • “There's also just enough of a plot scattered among the levels to push you forward.”
    • “I wish there was no story.”
    • “The story is very much like something from the DOS era.”
    • “The story progresses through the levels with interactions with the DOS planet police force, who all seem to be rather unprepared for the alien invasion.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its energetic and engaging soundtrack, featuring a mix of catchy tunes that enhance the overall experience. Reviewers highlight the quality and originality of the tracks, noting that they contribute to the game's fun and vibrant atmosphere. Overall, the soundtrack is described as a standout element, with many calling it a "banger" collection of songs.

    • “The soundtrack is banger after banger.”
    • “Bright, fun little game with great music, good humor, and heart.”
    • “Dope soundtrack.”
    • “The napalm death song of games.”
    • “I thought the music was maybe just generic free license stuff, but it had 'dosman' in the lyrics, so I'm guessing not?”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by large levels filled with numerous enemies, leading to a somewhat tedious experience. While it offers straightforward mechanics and may appeal to fans of pre-doom era games, it is considered easier and less engaging than other titles in the genre, with limited content for its price.

    • “The gameplay feels much easier compared to other dosman games, and there's only one boss at the end.”
    • “I certainly enjoyed this game more than the other dosman games I played, Reaper, but I will only really recommend this even with the low price point if you're hankering for some pre-Doom era gameplay and have exhausted every other better similar game.”
    • “Ultimately, I suppose the question on anyone's mind is simply if the $3 is worth the 45 minutes of gameplay.”
    • “Big levels with too many enemies and boring gameplay.”
    • “I certainly enjoyed this game more than the other Dosman games I played, Reaper, but I will only really recommend this even with the low price point if you're hankering for some pre-Doom era gameplay and have exhausted every other better similar game.”
    • “The gameplay feels much easier compared to other Dosman games, and there's only one boss at the end.”

    • “The witty dialogue and clever puns kept me laughing throughout the game.”
    • “I love how the game pokes fun at classic tropes while still being genuinely funny.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its excellent performance and vibrant graphics, with users noting its surprisingly efficient optimization, especially considering its small install size of just 80 megabytes. The developers' use of a custom engine contributes to its smooth gameplay, setting it apart from other titles that utilize the Unity engine.
