  • The game offers a fun mix of FPS and platforming elements, with a variety of weapons and upgrades to discover throughout the levels.
  • Many players appreciate the engaging gameplay and unique mechanics, such as the claw attack and the diagetical HUD that displays health and ammo on the character's hands.
  • The game suffers from technical issues, including bugs that can lead to being stuck in levels and a lack of manual save options, which can be frustrating for players.
  • Some players found the music repetitive and the enemy design uninspired, leading to a less immersive experience.
  • The absence of boss fights and a satisfying conclusion left many feeling that the game lacked depth and a proper climax.
  • music
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game, primarily a synthwave soundtrack by Hexenkraft, is praised for its energetic fit during gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. However, many reviewers noted that the soundtrack becomes repetitive, with the same tracks looping throughout the game, leading to a lack of variety across levels. While the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, there is a consensus that more diverse tracks would improve the experience.

    • “The game features nice visuals, fun and simple gameplay, and one banger of a soundtrack!”
    • “The soundtrack is excellent and is able to drive the pace of the game properly.”
    • “Good fitting music by hexenkraft that will amp you up in hectic encounters!”
    • “The music is too constantly bombastic; it never gives a silent break, even when nothing is happening.”
    • “The same song loops over and over for hours.”
    • “The music, while a strong part of the game's appeal, gets repetitive.”
  • gameplay
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fast-paced, engaging mechanics reminiscent of classic retro shooters like Quake and Doom, featuring responsive controls and enjoyable level design. While some technical issues are noted, the combination of aesthetics, a vibrant synthwave soundtrack, and a unique weapon system contribute to a refreshing experience. Overall, players appreciate the blend of simple yet effective gameplay with a strong atmospheric presence.

    • “The game features nice visuals, fun and simple gameplay, and one banger of a soundtrack!”
    • “First impressions: a solid retro-FPS game with tight movement mechanics, nice looking level design, good enemy variety, and a fun and unique take on the weapons.”
    • “It looks like there is a lot of platforming, which I like; the gameplay feels great and the controls are responsive.”
    • “Exodemon is a little nice boomer shooter which has been cut short from its development, and that is what kept me from buying from all this time... and where it is true that it is relatively short compared to most, its gameplay is something refreshing (switching between melee and ranged, which is not new but here has been well made) and that truly mixes up cleverly with the game's design (even the simple feature of the HUD has been thought cleverly).”
    • “While this game suffers from some technical issues (missing textures, weird vsync artifacting), it more than makes up for them with gameplay and atmosphere.”
    • “Reminds me of Doom in terms of gameplay, and Half-Life in the level design and plot, though it's far simpler than Half-Life.”
  • graphics
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their charming retro aesthetic, reminiscent of classic titles like Quake and Doom, featuring well-crafted visuals and a vibrant synthwave soundtrack. Players appreciate the chunky, 8-bit style and the thoughtful level design, although some note that performance tweaks may be needed in certain areas. Overall, the combination of engaging gameplay and appealing visuals creates a delightful experience for fans of retro shooters.

    • “The graphics are well made, and you can see how carefully they worked throughout the game.”
    • “Exodemon is a great indie fast-paced FPS with gorgeous retro aesthetics (almost the same style as seen in the upcoming game Prodeus).”
    • “So far great level design, sexy retro looking graphics, sweet synthwave soundtrack and top notch gameplay, what more can you ask for?”
    • “Graphics: 8-bit quake.”
    • “Fun FPS with a delightful retro aesthetic, could use some performance tweaks in some levels though.”
    • “That's a lot of negatives, but the positives are that the core gameplay and aesthetics and music come together to make a great vaporwave take on retro shooters lying somewhere between Quake and Doom, with fully 3D geometry with a lot of winding verticality and good secret design within its limitations (no hidden panels/breakable walls) but sprite-based enemies.”
  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is often described as minimal and somewhat detached, with a basic premise involving a scientist facing a mishap. While some players appreciate the retro setting and fun elements, others find the narrative lacking depth and engagement, leading to mixed feelings about its overall impact.

    • “Story: the Guyver meets Venom on a xeno purge to find a way home.”
    • “A great setting and fun retro story make the game worth playing despite the hiccups.”
    • “The story feels a bit detached, but that's not a problem necessarily.”
    • “And the plot is just like, you're a scientist and something went wrong.”
    • “It has minimal music, uninspired weapons, and little story to speak of.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
