Reviews
- Authentic retro shooter experience with solid old-school gameplay and fast-paced action reminiscent of classic titles like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D.
- Visually appealing pixel art with excellent steampunk weapon designs and atmospheric Victorian London setting, complemented by a great soundtrack.
- Weapons are fun and satisfying to use, with a decent variety of enemies that require different strategies, making the combat engaging and challenging on higher difficulties.
- Technical issues with resolution support cause crashes or graphical glitches on monitors above 1080p, and there is no option to change resolution in-game.
- Secrets are poorly indicated and difficult to find, compounded by bugs in kill counters and collision detection, making perfect completion frustrating or nearly impossible.
- Level design and gameplay mechanics have some awkwardness, including simplistic enemy AI, lack of verticality, unintuitive switch puzzles, and a sometimes harsh or confusing death system.
gameplay
5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is straightforward and somewhat repetitive, primarily involving shooting or melee attacks with limited enemy variety. A few tougher enemies require using a dodge mechanic that isn’t clearly explained, adding a small layer of complexity. Overall, it combines elements reminiscent of Wolfenstein, Doom, and Left 4 Dead, but lacks depth and mechanical innovation.
“Two of the tankier higher end enemies vary it up a bit and require making use of the dodge mechanic that I don't think is explicitly pointed out (I stumbled on it by accident) and I had little need for outside of these foes.”
“Style wise the gameplay is a Wolfenstein-like, which are not as uncommon as they used to be but are still few in number.”
“Setting and atmosphere of Bloodborne + gameplay of Doom + enemies of Left for Dead.”
“Mechanically, the enemies are a bit lacking, with most of them being some variety of either running at you and punching or running at you and shooting a projectile every few seconds.”
“Two of the tankier higher-end enemies vary it up a bit and require making use of the dodge mechanic that is not explicitly pointed out (I stumbled on it by accident) and had little need for outside of these foes.”
“The gameplay is simply 'you shoot it until it dies' and that is all.”
