“Weird that a game that's getting a third sequel still has multiple spots where you can fall through the map. (Specifically the castle levels.) It's a game where wallhugging/secret hunting is encouraged and yet once in a…”

“It's an average boomer shooter with poor optimization and issues with controls. The melee weapons felt much more useful than ranged weapons which is weird for a shooter. However, I will say that I like the artstyle and…”
“Fantastic game! Plenty of enemy variety and weapon variety I thought at first I was going to be stuck on using melee as it seemed to be the best choice until I hit the Industrial world and that went down the toilet. The…”

“A fun simple boomer shooter with a decent upgrade system to keep things interesting. Like DOOM, it is also hard to put down.”

“A decent doom like shooter that adds its own personality. Good artstyle and gameplay. Definitely worth it on sale”
“Fun and respects your time.”
“Honestly, even at "very positive" overall I feel like this game is possibly under appreciated. I think it does what it tries to do very well, possibly as well as games like Boltgun and Forgive me Father. I ran into a…”

“If you enjoy Boomer Shooters with pixelated graphics you will have fun with this. Has a good gameplay loop with a variety or worlds and enemies. The difficulty slowly ramps up with a couple of spikes throughout the game…”
“Gameplay tip: Shoot the off-brand cyber demon until it dies! The genre of the so called Boomer Shooter has been rather popular in recent years, spawning a large amount of games that try to recapture the feeling of the…”
“Cute little indie FPS that wears its DOOM influence on its sleeve. There's upgrades which are all cool and overpowered in their own way, and spells which seem pretty useless to me. There's level ups and perks too, but…”

“Sorry, but spawning enemies behind you that make no sound in an already cleared area, let you wonder from were the hell you get damage from, in a game with no quick save and limited lives is just bad design. Hard pass…”
