“Brutal Doom mod on steroids and a 12 pack of Redbuls. My personal impression is that Selaco is exactly what I wanted from Brutal Doom. Even more than that. We don't need to be able to pick up every piece of furniture ,…”
“One of my favorite fps games! hard, challenging and fun! 10/10 can't wait for chapter 2!”
“Having played this from the early demo days, its suffers from the same issues now as it did then. While the game itself is fun, you aimlessly spend a lot of time just wandering around lost, even with the map. I spent 50…”

“Great title. Describing it as a boomer shooter does it a disservice, as it feels like a very good one, but it also feels like a unique blend of many great games. Technically it feels impressive, the gunplay is top notch…”

“One of my favorites, and it's not even finished yet. It's clearly a labor of love and I am very much looking forward to Chapter 2.”
“If this game ended development today, I would say that it's too short for the price, but that it's fun while it lasts. Since the development team seems to be going at a steady pace with an eye to the future, I expect it…”

“game goes hard. if you like F.E.A.R., classic DOOM, system shock, or any games in that vein, this game does what those do well and so much more. the game has a weirdly comforting atmosphere with such addictive gunfights…”

“Selaco is a bit of an odd mixture of elements from different games. It has combat encounters similar to F.E.A.R., but without the slow motion. The levels are large and sprawling, feeling more like something from a…”
“This is the worst modern shooter I've played in a long time. The actual shooting mechanics are good but you're never really doing that. This game is about wandering around big levels and looking at your map wondering…”
“A very strange mix styles and features from other, better games, that don't gel together coherently one bit. Most of all, a lesson showing that what made FEAR work so well was the great animations and ragdoll physics to…”

“It is well made & looks great, but idk... something is off with this game — it is just not fun. 1. Most of game feels more like CoD than Doom — you shoot distant enemy silhouettes and quickly killed when not camping.…”

“Clocked in at nearly 150 hours and I still can't get enough of it! Easily one of the best first person shooter games I played in recent years, and I would go as far as to say that I'd put it along side with Half-Life games. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed. And devs,…”

Watching gameplay footage really doesn't capture just how weighty and chaotic this game is. Playing on the top difficulty and taking my time looking for…”
