More rogue lite than classic FPS
I went into STRAFE expecting a classic FPS with some rogue lite elements, but it turned out the other way: the rogue lite elements are a lot more prominent. The graphcis are deliberatly undetailed, similar to the first Quake, but without its style. Especially the first segment has the most boring textures I've ever seen. The second one seems better, but I haven't spend much time in it. Because the game is insanly hard, for all the wrong reasons: there is very little to replenish your health, one food dispenser per level with a random amount in it. There is armor, which is only extended health which can be bought at workbenches with scrap which can be collected from enemies. Where they are is random as most in the game, so keep looking for them. But that will not protect you for long as the enemies can do massive damage quickly. The levels are randomized from handmade parts, overall it works good as the connecting points are not as obvious as in other games and the pieces have a good variety. But that can lead to unexpected dead ends meaning usually in an end of your run. The one thing the developers forgot to add that makes a rogue lite is any sort of progression. Everytime you die its basically wasted time, no unlocks or similar. During the time upgrades can be found, but are random and the game doesn't tell what they do. A big negative for me are the weapons: the store page states a ton, but thats not as expected: in the beginning you can choose between three (shotgun, machinegun, railgun), others can be found in the levels. But they are essentially power ups, once their ammo runs out they are done. That means you are stuck with basically one weapon the entire game. There are upgrades for them, but they are random and sort of hit and miss. I really want to like the game, especially for its high speed action similar to the old Doom. The soundtrack is also really good. But the insane difficulty for a simple lack of health and the weapons system ruin it for me.
