Nice 1996 FPS with lack of originality

Wrath is a nice oldschool shooter based on the Quake engine with Darkplaces mod. The first version of the early access release contains two levels with about an hour of gameplay (if you look out for secrets and items). Although it's in dev I could find any major bugs or glitches. It's a 90s classic shooter by all means. It's fast as hell (I have no idea how this will be playable on PS4, Switch, etc.) and has all the classic gameplay features retro gamers are looking for like health portions and a double-barrel shotgun that deals huge damage. Unfortunately it doesn't really come with an own character. It looks like a mix of Quake, Hexen 2 and Blood. For all weapons and enemies you feel like you've already seen them somewhere else before. For me it looks like a hommage to all the great games from 1996 to 1998 but doesn't spread an own vibe for now. I hope the final release will change that.

One step away from greatness

This review is based on the early access. The PROS: - great visuals, successful retro 3d shooter with modern content. - the gameplay is perfect: fast, responsive, gunplay is satisfying, limited saves prevent from cheesing the game. The CONS: - navigation through levels is often a chore, nothing differenciates a corridor from the three next corridors, game designers need to design the **** out of their level layouts so that players can have a basic idea of the direction they're moving toward.

I never imagine it will be this Good

I got the game on early access and it was alright nothing special, but never expected it to be so good on release, i don't understand what changed maybe the enemy placement? maybe the graphic tweaks that help the game look oldschool? I don't know? 1) It's fun and it has a very nice pace, satisfying gore and damage impact, enemies explode or have various death animations like shooting all around them before dying, 2) level design is not restricted, your mobility help you explore but never feel lost as it's easy to find the next path to progress, 3) Graphics are nostalgic but also very detailed with variant colors and little pixel details 4) It really feels like an adventure as if you explore a corrupted world that used to have it's own history before, 5) Inventory/powerups and weapons to collect as your progress +a nice melee weapon at start

Good old style shooter

Tha game has its flaws, for example the incessant waves of enemies spawning can get tireing in the end; severe difficulty spikes and saves as a ressource (although on normal difficulty this is not an issue there are plenty save opportunities), but I judge it on what this game made me feel, and it made me feel good. Love the art style as well.

It's fine?

Not my favourite boomshoot, but its solid enough for the low price i see it at most of the time, A bit of a slog with its weird save states and low variety in weapon and enemy design, but solid and competent. Id be supprised to see it on anyones top 10 shooters list but i didnt hate my time good, good stuff
