“So far I'm enjoying this. Feels like a mix between Quake 1 and 2, gibs are chunky, and Andrew Hulshult did a great job with a moody ambient soundtrack. For those complaining that this game has traditional shooter design…”
“it's honestly a really neat game. Very solid 7/10 shooter. I have the same critique as most people that the levels are probably too big for their own good and some of them have gimmicks that feel a bit underbaked,…”

“Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a fast-paced shooter, labeled a boomer shooter due to its inspiration from older titles like Doom. The pixel art is fantastic and the weapons look really cool, but that’s about all the positives I…”

“You have to love a game that looks and feels a bit like Quake. The levels are INSANE; some are so big you'll get lost or lose your sense of direction. The creatures in the game are just monstrous - some look basic and…”

“Playing it on hard is giving me a very fun and rewarding "survival horror meets boomer shooter" experience. I think it's absolutely worth it on sale (<$10)”
“Great atmosphere, good variety of weapons and enemies, decently challenging (I played on hard), mouse input and gunplay are amazing, not too long or too short. All in all, everything that makes a great Quake clone.”
“This is a nice and entertaining Q clone, some basics from Q1 are in there, but don't expect much of similarities nor anything from the story of this Titan. Coming over this fact, it is nicely set and makes fun to pass…”

“Why the ♥♥♥♥ can't I save and quit the game? These levels are over an hour long, extremely complex and intense, and if I exit to go live life all my progress is ENTIRELY GONE. Who thought of this? How stupid”

“One of the best boomer shooters I've played in a very, very long time. Feels like Quake. Looks like Quake. But, the level design is not the typical corridor shooter style, but very large, wide open levels. This is not…”

“A solid fps with some nice feel and quirks It does have some horrendously big levels though, which can be difficult to navigate, which is my biggest complaint, so be warned Worth a go on sale 7/10”

“Weapons feel trash and levels are intentionally designed to waste your time. Don't bother.”
“THE MAPS ARE TOO f#$KING HUGE! seriously, 4-500 enemy count numbers with gothic-themed complex mazes of levels do not belong together unless its built for horde encounters, but the devs thought that navigating a level…”
