Unfair, dark, Lovecraftian "Painkiller"

What's good: - challenge (when it's fair) - nice cartoony visuals - weapons variety - enemies variety - bullet hell (if you like that) - some levels with interesting design What's bad: - difficulty jumps - some unfair levels, but not much (traps, navigation problems) - too much darkness - sometimes it's like a mockery in the worst way - unfair balance, sometimes (huge amount of enemies, too much hp) - average performance Conclusion: It's worth time, while also can be frustrating, annoying, unfair BUT fun. Leveling passive skills can and will drastically change weapons. Why painkiller? - because you'll dance in first-person around each room/location trying to avoid damage while also managing your ammo and weapons. Additionally it feels like some levels are rushed during development - badly balanced and designed, too dark. By the end enemies have too much hp. Finished in 11 hrs on journalist, mostly on "very easy", mixed impressions.

Flawed... But stylish, creative, and fun

Forgive Me Father is a solid and well-crafted shooter. The first thing of note is that while it’s not all that well optimized, FMF has a lot of artistic flair, and makes great use of a stylized mix of highly atmospheric 3D environments and gorgeous hand-drawn 2D sprites straight out of a Mike Mignola comic. Of course, you’re more likely to play it for the combat, which is pretty damn satisfying. FMF is a deliciously gory arena shooter all about blasting legions of gross monsters in the face with powerful weaponry – something you don’t see often in Lovecraftian games! Most of the guns feel pretty great to use and each enemy type has its own attack patterns and weaknesses to exploit, making combat encounters consistently engaging. FMF also spices up its retro formula with more modern additions: its cool upgrade system adds some depth to the game (not to mention it makes your weapons comically awesome), while its two playable heroes each have their quirks that come in handy during firefights. Sadly, there are some approximations in the game design. It tends to overrely on pitch-black environments as a cheap way to amp up the tension, and while the combat mechanics are good, oftentimes the level design does not jam particularly well with them. Much of the game indeed takes place in tight spaces, making it hard to dodge projectiles and to take full advantage of your character's high mobility. Some fights get very frustrating, especially in the few last levels since the enemies are really tough at that point. These issues would be easier to forgive if the save points weren’t so scarce: each level only has one or two, so dying often means losing a lot of progress! In the end, in spite of its imperfections, FMF is a good game and I would very much recommend it to fans of fast-paced shooters. A sequel is already in the works, and if the devs learn from the few mistakes of this first installment while expanding on its many qualities, it will no doubt be a fantastic romp.

Fun with shotguns and tentacles. Wheeee!

Byte Barrel, great job on this one. Every piece of it (YES even the later levels) were a blast and a half on the hardest difficulty setting. The challenge was meaty, the weapons and enemies were a joy to learn the ins and outs of, and this is the first Lovecraft FPS I thoroughly enjoyed. it's only 4 stars and not 5 because this game makes the single best argument possible for the Silent Protagonist. Jon St. John couldn't save these lines. Regardless, you hit a home run in the boomer shooter category with this one. Great job, keep making more games!

Forgive Me Father, I Kick A**!

Please please play this. It is a fun game that takes me back to the good old classic days of doom, and feels proper to the tones its trying to reach. This and Void Bastards are truly great games to play following the classic release of XIII

Atmospheric FPS with cool level design

The levels are designed very interesting as some of them have smart color pallet or day time or other things to make it harder but more interesting to play. It also made me remeber old DOOM vibe. I recommend as a time killing thing when you do not want to think much or solve hard puzzles. Old classic FPS with comics style
