There are worse games out there than Strafe® and the core gameplay actually is a not bad. It has a few problems though, of which IMO by far the biggest one is a lack of variety. I played it for around 2 hours so far and it already got repetitive to a point where i don't really feel the need to play it again for a while. The reason behind that is mostly the weapon system. At the start of each run you choose between 3 main weapons (Shotgun, machine gun and railgun) and for the majority of your run you're stuck with that weapon, because every weapon you will find during a run has a very limited amount of ammo (one clip with no possibility of getting more). That means you use them for maybe 10-20 seconds and you're back to your standart weapon. That way it simply feels like pretty much every run is the same. At least for the first 2 floors. It is also kind of insulting that only the steam version of the game has achievements, as they are - at least for me - another factor for replayability. One could think it would be reasonable to put the same amount of work into the GOG (Good OLD games) version of a game, if your target audience is people who like 90's oldschool shooters.
