One of the best games I have ever played

I'm not gonna kid you, Amid Evil is one of the best games I've ever played. Yes it's an homage to the fast-paced nostalgia FPS' of the 90s, but the quality of the game as an entity of its own cannot be overstated. The level architecture is high-polygon, but the textures are essentially pixel-art, creating this incredible hybrid of styles that, when subjected to the quality of modern U4 post-processing and lighting, looks absolutely stunning. The level architecture is inspired and mind bendind. Each world has its own distinct, atmospheric aesethetic that will always remind you of something else, but remain completely unique. There is a sense of alienness to everyting, and yet it all remains entirely believable within the universe of the game. This is in no small part due to the feeling that there was a desire to create levels in which no moment feels rehashed or re[eated. My only criticism would be towards the AI, which is invariable a bum-rush, but it is true to the style of the classics, so not even that can stop me from, and I don't say this lightly, declaring this to be a perfect game. It is one of the few titles that I have ever been able to say is worth every single cent you invest in it. Do it.

great shooter!

i don't play many FPS's, but this game shows me a lot of what there is to love about the genre. fun/creative levels, and fast paced gunplay. I guess my complaints is that it gets a little repetitive after a while and I feel like I'm almost moving way too fast to appreciate the level geometry, but I think that might just be me not 'fitting in' to the fps genre. either way, really great

It's much more than I bargained for

If I were to descibe the game in dry terms I would've said something about Quake-esque shooter in a fantasy setting. Probably I would've mentioned something about eye-candy levels, each being more and more ridiculous and grandiose than previous one. I also would've mentioned wide variety of enemies. But it's not about that. It's about throwing planets at evil knights and fighting in a giiant fishtank against an evil eel. It's about smashing through clanking cogs of robots on last drops of your soul powerup. It's about simple, responsive and fun shooting and that's all that matters.

Great throwback to simpler times.

Somehow it managed to capture me like in the oldern days ( Doom, Q1, Q2, etc. ). The mix of modern graphic elements ( RTX ) and the oldschool low poly world and monsters is really charming. The weapons feel varied enough to keep switching between them. Even the trusty melee axe deals enough damage to be useful if you like it close and personal. Apart from the staff ( water baloon shooter ) they all feel quite powerful and don't get obsolete later in the game. The level design is greatly varied and each world has its own theme and new monsters which have their own arsenal of movement/attacks/tricks. After ~10hrs of playtime I can say I am very pleased with the purchase. One gripe that a veteran could have is: there's no speed to be gained by strafe-jumping/bhopping - since I never mastered this art I don't mind it much.
