Not a Heretic nor Hexen successor

If you play this game as is it's pretty enjoyable. If you're trying to compare it to some old titles you'll have a bad time. If you're trying to compare it to some new indie titles of that genre... you'll also have a bad time. What you have read already about this game is probably true - there's a resolution and FPS cap at the moment and melee works weird to say at last. But you know what? That gem is a pure fun experience. It's not reminding me of anything from the past... maybe Mafia III... you know... all that "go there, kill everyone, now go there, kill everyone...". It's definitely not Heretic, Hexen, Doom nor Wolfenstein. It's a hack and slash with basic RPG elements and kind-of-retro graphics.

Good. Fun. with a few annoying drawbacks

TL;DR: It's fast, lourd and has a good size for the price. The controls are tight and remind a lot of the Build Engine games - especially Blood. If you can live with tight corridor shooters, dark labynrinth level layouts, sometimes chaotic (not in the good sense) music and at times uneven ballancing you get a lot of really good things in all the remaining regards. Super fast fun and a retro style that actually works! The Long version Like: The game is fast paced in a fun way. It has hordes of very varied enemies also in a good way. A lot of designs are tongue in cheek references to popular games from the era as well as movies. The graphic design is awesome and in this case it's one of the rare ocasions where the filters for retro look (like C64 pallete and pixelation, distortion etc.) actually WORK. The game arguably looks even a little better in the older, grimey C64 advanced colour palette look with 2x pixel size. Guns are in a wide variety and upgradeable in a way that invites replay. The episodes are in a wide range of styles as the game doesn't bother with a deep story. The look and feel is pretty spot on like the good games from the era it tries to resemble (~ 1990 - 1996). Sound FX sound super fat and add a lot of fun to the gunplay. It also has a few RPG elements that invite exploration. Like not so much: The game often is SUPER dark and your light source works sort of like in Doom3 - light or guns. Switching is fast but it is still annoying. You'd love to see more of the very nice looking envrionments, actually but most levels are super dark. Destructible light sources don't help, either. Levels are mostly super tight, low ceiling corridor figts. The fun larger areas are rare and oftentimes deco items (albeit destructible) are more in the way of the action than just good art. Level layouts are very labyrinth-y and if you stry from the level flow you get lost easily. No fullscreen automap. Music is sometimes good, sometimes merely chaotic and annoying.

Pretty much a Wolfenstein 3D reskin :(

Great monster design, yet boring ai, very poor map design and bad balance. On standard difficulty i end up using like one or two weapons of 10 i have by now, and i literally oneshot everything... very small badly designed, unimaginative maps kill the game. Pretty damn sad, since the weapons, monsters and some soundtracks are pretty cool.

Great modern 90s shooter.

Great graphics and sound. Gameplay is smooth. On Standard difficulty I had few deaths, none of which were cheap. Has a stat, skill, spell and weapon upgrade system. Took 6h20m to beat on Standard. Handcrafted mazelike 90s level design. Would have like coop multiplayer.

Somewhat annoyed at the title

For a game that advertises itself as old school, I don't really get why there's an upgrade system / character stats and also I don't get why there's a life system that sends you back at the very beginning if depleted. The first boss practically killed me off and I noped out of the game. Not sure I want to lose more time with this one.
