Fortune's Run

So to preface the obvious, it's an Early Access game right now and as of October 2023, has what can technically be considered three main pieces of content right now (the campaign with a tutorial and the first mission, the 2022 demo of a level that will be implemented into the campaign later down the line, and an arena mode). Doesn't seem like a lot but the incredibly amounts of detail and effort put into the levels so far means you will probably be spending a good few hours on your first run learning to navigate through them and complete the objectives (on top of a ranking system that grades skillful play and learning where everything is as replay incentive). The best way to describe the game is it being a fast paced FPS with a lot of cool thing you might've seen from late 90s/early 2000s shooters, "im-sim" games, and its own twist on those mechanics. Bouncy movement reminiscent of Blood (in fact, the game uses Q3: Arena's physics source code for anyone who liked how that game feels), intricate level design that feels lived in with scale (all the more impressive it's a sci-fi setting), an inventory system for healing and food items, a body part oriented health system a la Deus Ex, a fun melee system with unarmed moves and blades to pull off against enemies, and so forth. On top of that, the game has shocking good presentation for a low budget title with nicely made cutscenes and fun voice acting. Fortune's Run can be difficult even on Normal difficulty with high damage but it gives you all the tools you need to succeed so it comes down to a matter of learning the game and it feels incredibly rewarding once you get a grasp on everything. Overall, if it looks interesting from trailer footage or you happened to try out the Steam demo from last year, I think it's worth supporting right now with how much of a passion project this clearly is for the developers creatively.
