AMID EVIL

Looks cooler than it plays. It plays fine enough.

Oh yeah... Now this is my ♥♥♥♥ right here. One of the most fun assortment of weapons for a shooter I have ever played and the soul mode is such a fun mechanic to include in this game to make you feel so powerful. Hope the dev makes another game at some point because he is cooking a 5 star meal and I am hungry for another

Along with DUSK, probably the best modern boomer shooter. The controls feel tight and logical, and the visuals are carefully crafted to look retro without looking dated. The RT effects look awesome and are not as taxing as many other modern implementations, though you still need to be careful not to go overboard with settings. Works well with a controller too. Nostalgia without the jank. Highly recommended.

Это как - если бы хексен 2 был квейком 1.

True old school fps

What I like: - the level design is impressive; maps are large and varied, full of secrets, and usually pretty easy to navigate even when circle back on themselves. Each 'world' has a distinct visual style. The ending area has some of the most memorable level geometry I've seen in gaming. - The enemy variety is surprisingly high. Each world has it's own set of at least 4 or more enemies that have their own attacks. A few are quite annoying, but I prefer that over boring. - The music isn't necessarily something I'd listen to on it's own, but it fits really well with the environments and action that is happening in them. Some of it can get you really hyped up. - The is surprisingly forgiving in a lot of ways. You can breathe underwater, there is no fall damage, and while levels do have a 'par' time, there is no timer if you would rather explore and backtrack. If you keep your eyes open for secrets you can often find weapons early or health boosts. The game also autosaves at key points (pun intended) so you aren't likely to lose too much progress. And you can also save/load the game whenever you want. - I appreciate the weapon design; this game seems to purposely avoid any reliance on too much accuracy, and is far more about pointing something deadly at the center mass of something and shooting until it dies. Mana (ammo) is purposely capped so you occasionally need to swap when you are getting low, and you only get more from pickups (which are numerous and well distributed) - The game has a story, but it's very much something you can choose to read more of or just ignore in favor of blasting enemies. - Controller works pretty well. No aim assist though, so you may struggle a bit with a few weapons that have a tighter area of impact (like the mace) What I dislike: - It's minor, but after you finish a 'world', you are brought back to the hub with nothing but your melee weapon. When you go to the next one you have to rebuild your arsenal. I would have preferred keeping weapons in between. Alternately, having one or more weapons unique to a world would have been a cool way to make them exclusive. - The boss fights were a mixed bag. I think they are creative in theory, but as long as you keep moving and shooting with your best weapons they eventually fall. I actually appreciated the final boss fight for having a bit more of a mechanic to it (forced weapon changing). Honestly I have a hard time thinking of anything more to say that is critical. If you like shooters that are all action and don't mind pickups for ammo/health and a fantasy coat of paint, you should definitely play this.

Trochę zbyt abstrakcyjne i pstrokate, ale nie można odmówić twórcom wyobraźni w projektowaniu poziomów. Strzelanie takie sobie, Heretic z modami wciąż lepszy ;)

非常棒的复古射击游戏，简单的机关和地图设计，哪怕看不懂英文也能极快的上手，丰富的敌人和多样武器，把最关乎爽感的射击元素保留了下来，原汁原味的hereticlike体验。 8/5/10

オールドスクールリスペクトのFPS。 ボタンによる回避もパリィもない、コンボだってももちろんない。 敵の攻撃はよく見て移動で避け、ひたすらに攻撃ボタンを押すだけ。 最近のFPSやアクションゲームに慣れている人は退屈だと思う。 ではこのゲームのストロングポイントは何なのか。 まず、敵のリアクションがいい。 プレイヤーのアクションに対して敵は真っ二つになり、黒焦げになり、爆散する。 遊んでいて気持ちよくなれる作用点がある。 次に、ロケーションがいいことだ。 探索する、敵に遭遇する、そして倒す、そのシーンそれぞれが「ステージ」であり、楽しく美しい。 そんな美しさにもかかわらず、グラフィック負荷は非常に低い。 最後にレベルデザインだ。 英語圏のゲームにおいてレベルとはマップのことだ。 ギミックは複雑ではないし、無駄に広くもなく、リニアなデザインのため迷うことがない。 前述したシーンが一つまた一つと過ぎていくうち、気付いたらゴールに導かれている。 オールドスクールの醍醐味を抽出しつつ、それに留まらないタイトルに興味があれば是非。
