4/5 stars
An enjoyable, randomly generated FPS romp that's surprisingly addictive. Despite being priced perhaps a little high, and occasionally exhibiting some slowdown and minor glitches, Ziggurat offers many hours of potential entertainment for those willing to take up its considerable challenge.

9.5/10
Ziggurat is Milkstone Studios' first game of this scope, and I both hope and believe it will be their breakout game. It is everything a roguelike game should be, and so much more.

A delightful modern take on the first person shooters of old.

The Binding of Heretic

I've finished easy mode 4 times by now with different characters but it has gotten old by now. There's no reason for trying medium difficulty since I'd probably never see new stuff this way. It's a fun game to shut your brains off for a while, although naturally it's extremely repetitive. To me, it's just "The Binding of Isaac" in first person perspective with Heretics design and several difficulty modes. The usual random rooms, arena fighting, boss fights, gathering ammo, rinse and repeat. I'd say it's worth a few bucks for the nice time I had, but there is a bloody lot of wasted potential in this game for sure and I wish they'd have made it with classical FPS level design instead of rogue like arena mechanics, but I guess I'll have to play the old ID titles for this with the DoomsdayEngine.

Should be forgotten

Old boring shoot-that-mushrooms-that-cannot-use-"above/below"-concept. Kept it library for a while because of "Skill-based dungeon crawling", turns out it's NOT that kind of game. For mindless shoot-while-strafing is OK.

Very smooth on 2013 macbook

It's a solid shooter with old school movement. Very smooth. But "Easy" was not easy at all. I completed the end-game boss only on my third try. (you have to start the whole game over) But it was very fun. I will try the second part now.

Dissapointment

This is the 1st game i bought on GOG years ago thinking its like a Hexen,only better.Unfortunatelly,its bland and boring, with no atmosphere.I uninstalled it after a couple of hours of playing.I have reinstalled it recently thinking that I was maybe wrong,but no-i still dont like it and I uninstalled even faster.Reading through other reviews, I cannot find one thing that I agree with, except that is a Hexen clone, only a worse kind.IDK, maybe i didnt play it long enough to realize its good sides but I couldnt make myself, playing it litteraly frustrated me.

Modern old school shooter

A solid shooter that follows the pattern of what I like to call "modern old school" which seems to come from developers who think classic games are just a chain of interconnected monster spawning arenas. A lot of fun to begin with but do expect it to get rather repetitive rather quickly. Still, fun for a quick blast.
