Terrible even for Eurojank games
In-depth video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QunuxavBaUI Chaser does some things right. It attempts to have a sort of a story, even if it's more or less a carbon copy of Total Recall. It uses quite elaborate cutscenes to convey that story. Shame that the actors couldn't deliver their lines well to save their own lives. The guns are kinda cool, but the shooting is at most decent and the sound assets vary between crisp AKs and annoying pea-shooters. It even looks fairly well on a technical level. Hell, the soundtrack sometimes has bangers! But man, oh, man, the level design doesn't just drag the whole game down. It's essentially a 2 Ton boulder tied with a rope that's attached to the game's neck, and thrown into the Marianna's Trench. Chaser's an honest-to-god corridor shooter in its most literal interpretation. To make matters worse, it's even got labyrinthian tendencies, alongside doors which you can't tell apart regardless if they're the way to go or not. Enemies spawning or re-spawning from thin air. In the later parts of the game it's made obvious that there was no more time left for development, and the result is sections that you're supposed to go through but look like they're broken/inaccessible. I only give it two stars because it does a few things ok and it actually works. Otherwise, this is a game you should avoid like the plague.
Is this helpful to you?
