  • gameplay164 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by its engaging mechanics that require players to swap weapons based on enemy types, creating a dynamic and strategic experience reminiscent of classic FPS games like Doom.

Overall, the combination of humor, diverse enemy interactions, and a charming aesthetic contributes to a satisfying gameplay loop that keeps players entertained throughout.

    • “Gameplay while chill at first, quickly ramps up in difficulty forcing you to swap weapons to defeat different enemy varieties.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and refreshing enough, with enough variation to not bore you.”
    • “The central mechanic of this game being that (almost) every enemy requires a different weapon in order to defeat them means that you are constantly switching between weapons and it is a lot of fun.”
    • “The gameplay has too much friction.”
    • “The weapon swap mechanic is way too overplayed for me.”
    • “Even progressing later through the game, your gameplay doesn't evolve; it's just more of the same and that can get tedious.”

Many players found themselves laughing at the witty dialogue and absurd situations, although some noted that the humor can become repetitive or dated as the game progresses. Overall, it successfully blends fun gameplay with a comedic narrative, making it a standout in the FPS genre.

    • “It's funny, self-aware, and fun!”
    • “The writing is funny, coupled with the many video game references and pop-culture spoofs make this a game worth playing.”
    • “There's quite a lot of freezing mid-level to read dialogue, which is frustrating because nobody wants to stop shooting to read jokes based on old memes and other unfunny content.”
    • “The humor feels outdated and relies too heavily on tired memes that just don't land anymore.”
    • “The attempts at humor often fall flat, making the game feel more tedious than entertaining.”
  • story87 mentions

    The game's story is characterized by its humorous and absurd premise centered around fashion crimes, filled with pop culture references and puns that enhance its charm. While the narrative may not be deeply complex, it effectively serves as a backdrop for engaging gameplay, with quirky characters and entertaining dialogue that keep players invested. Overall, the lighthearted and irreverent tone, combined with a unique setting, makes the story a standout feature, despite some criticisms regarding its brevity and occasional repetitiveness.

    • “However, the story, enemies, dialogue, everything about the theme and setting for this game was really creative, and it is clear that a lot of thought was put into it.”
    • “The story is actually pleasant compared to other FPS games where the story gets in the way of mechanics and gameplay, and there's a lot of callbacks to older traditional arcade shooters.”
    • “It's clear the developers were passionate about this game, and the story is hilarious and doesn't take itself too seriously.”
    • “The story is not really memorable and some might find the writing cringy, but I really think you will realize how much it suits the game itself.”
    • “The story, as expected, is all based on said fashion crimes and someone being behind them, with the main character trying to unravel what's going on while fighting through fashion criminals. It's all meant to be funny - not everything sticks, but at least some of it does and helps in giving the game a charm of its own.”
    • “The game's main appeal obviously is its art style and humorous story, but on the hardest difficulty, many encounters can be more challenging than its lightheartedness may suggest.”
  • music68 mentions

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many reviewers praising its catchy, upbeat, and retro-inspired soundtrack that complements the game's vibrant aesthetic and humorous tone.

Many players expressed a desire to purchase the soundtrack separately, highlighting its quality and appeal.

    • “The soundtrack is banging and the pixel art graphics are great, but my favorite part is the writing and the story that's full of jokes.”
    • “A humorous, fun, fast-paced, high movement arena style shooter with an excellent soundtrack.”
    • “The music, the gun feel, the fab, and especially the humor.”
    • “The music was kind of repetitive, very retro-inspired but so much so that it doesn't stand out at all and feels generic.”
    • “I also had noticeable performance drops when the electro music enemy appears, and on no other time of the game.”
    • “The soundtrack, while not very varied within each level, makes slapping (literally, thanks to a certain power up) some fashion sense into people an absolute blast.”
  • graphics52 mentions

    The graphics of the game are characterized by a vibrant, retro aesthetic that blends pixel art with a unique, fashionable theme, setting it apart from typical FPS titles. While many players appreciate the charming visuals and humorous design, some have noted minor performance issues and bland level layouts.

    • “The retro graphics and urban, fashionable settings are gorgeous.”
    • “The art style is fantastic and the writing keeps you hilariously entertained.”
    • “Amazing art style and environment/level design.”
    • “Not to mention minor bugs and inexcusable performance; I mean seriously, with these simple visuals and a high-end GPU, I should not be dropping below 100fps at any time.”
    • “The graphics, UI, everything is carefully crafted to convey the old school feeling, right down to the main character’s face looking left and right on the bottom of the screen, in a direct reference to Doom.”
    • “While it can be said that a change in settings does not affect the core gameplay underneath, this change in aesthetic and setting does at least make it stand out from a rather large crowd these days, which in most cases is enough for some.”
  • grinding7 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to spikes in difficulty, repetitive gameplay, and the need for constant weapon switching. Many reviewers noted that as the game progresses, it fails to evolve, leading to a monotonous experience, especially in later levels where cramped spaces and hordes of enemies contribute to the frustration. Overall, while the game has interesting ideas, the execution often results in a tedious grind.

    • “Even progressing later through the game, your gameplay doesn't evolve; it's just more of the same, and that can get tedious.”
    • “The only gripe I had with this game is that in the later levels, you fight in tiny rooms against hordes of enemies, which made the game somewhat tedious.”
    • “Mechanics become overwrought and tedious.”
  • replayability6 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players appreciate its potential for speedrunning and revisiting it in the future, others find it limited after completing all levels and achievements. The game offers a solid experience but may not provide enough content to warrant multiple playthroughs for everyone, particularly outside of specific challenges like speedrunning.

    • “Has good replay value as well, and I see myself replaying the game again when I'm older.”
    • “If you can jive with its more frustrating aspects, there's a lot of replay value.”
    • “Replay value is guaranteed if you want to speedrun the game too: each level is timed and there are features and tools to improve mobility.”
    • “The only downside I can think of is that it's not a very long game that also doesn't have a lot of replayability besides achievements. Though I'm personally not sure if I'd even call it a downside, as I'd rather have a game that knows when to end than one that is needlessly stretched with filler content.”
    • “--- limited replay value.”
    • “Additionally, after beating all levels at 100%, there's literally no real reason to ever play the game again, due to it severely lacking replayability, unless you are in the speedrunning scene or want to see how easy the game is when you have unlimited ammo and the game's version of a BFG rocket launcher.”
  • stability6 mentions

    The game shows promise with generally good optimization and performance, particularly on high-end systems and the Steam Deck. However, players have reported occasional glitches, including visual issues and minor gameplay interruptions, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these hiccups, the game remains enjoyable and visually appealing.

    • “On a technical level, the game overall runs great as a Doom-esque clone-style shooter. The characters are well-animated in pixel style, and the weapons feel good to use.”
    • “Absolutely check this out; it runs great on Steam Deck as well.”
    • “It has promise, but it glitches for a second or two randomly during gameplay.”
    • “The game offers some amazing graphics and a beautiful aesthetic; however, there are some ugly glitches here and there.”
    • “It is a great time, but some glitches appear here and there, such as inescapable places, like the back of the speakers in the beach levels, or some text not displaying correctly, such as weird overlapping or, in my case, 'gala' being accompanied by strange symbols.”
  • optimization5 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is mixed; while it runs well on high-end systems and generally performs smoothly, players have reported occasional performance hiccups, particularly during specific encounters and with certain enemies. Minor bugs and frame drops below 100fps have also been noted, suggesting that while the game is mostly well-optimized, there are still areas that require improvement.

    • “In terms of glitches and the more technical side of things, the game is well optimized (or at least ran well at max settings on my system - RTX 2060, i7 8th gen, 16GB RAM, NVMe SSD), but I did run into a few issues.”
    • “My only gripe was that a few of the encounters are confined into extremely small arenas for the amount of enemies you face and that gives you little room for maneuvers; other than that, the game ran smoothly on my PC.”
    • “Not to mention minor bugs and inexcusable performance; I mean seriously, with these simple visuals and a high-end GPU, I should not be dropping below 100 FPS at any time.”
    • “Not to mention minor bugs and inexcusable performance. I mean seriously, with these simple visuals and a high-end GPU, I should not be dropping below 100 FPS at any time.”
    • “A later enemy absolutely tanked performance.”
    • “I also had noticeable performance drops when the electro music enemy appears, and on no other time in the game.”

    • “A solid shooter with a bright atmosphere and dry humor.”

However, some players feel that the emotional impact is lacking, as defeating enemies does not evoke a strong emotional response.

    • “I love how the characters evolve throughout the game, making each decision feel impactful and meaningful.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    The monetization in the game is evident through the integration of billboards that promote trending memes and clothing, suggesting a focus on in-game advertising and potential microtransactions.

    • “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, with constant ads and promotions interrupting gameplay.”
    • “It's frustrating to see essential features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
    • “The in-game purchases are poorly balanced, giving paying players a significant advantage over those who choose not to spend.”
