Anopek

if the term "skrunkly" was a game.

Wonderfully charming little experience. Took me just about 3 hours to 100% (left the game open in the background for a few hours, hence the 8-hour playtime listed). Simple but well-executed take on a combination FPS / metroidvania. Hidden upgrades / backtracking paths were not always terribly intuitive at times, but never so obtuse that I got frustrated. Part of this is due to the simplistic map textures. To clarify, the game looks beautiful, and the level variety is great, but within each area of the game, it can be hard to tell if you've explored a certain spot yet, so it was easy to lose track of unreachable spots that needed to be revisited after gaining new items, for example. A minor complaint in the grand scheme of things. Another big plus is the music. Very well put together and found myself humming melodies well after I finished the game.

stupid azzhole butterfly has a broken azz move you cant avoid.

TL;DR - Fun puzzle / Original Wolfenstein game. Not too long or difficult, just a solid game play for a few hours.

Absolutely beautiful little game. The artwork and the music together create a unique and loveable atmosphere. The gameplay is quite relaxed, some boss fights can be challenging until you figured out the mechanic how to beat them, but the worst that will happen to you is to be respawned at the last save crystal you touched. It's rather forgiving and the core experience is exploration. Although the variety of well designed bosses and the endgame will offer an actual challenge. There are a lot of cool weapons to be found, and they are cleverly implemented into the game. In typical Metroidvania style, they are required to overcome a variety of obstacles and get to new areas of the world. You will also need some to defeat certain bosses. This game is clearly made with passion and worth the full price! ------ P.S.: Bonus points: - runs perfectly fine with Steam Proton on Linux - can actually be 100% completed without growing grey hair - has an actual little manual (as PDF) that is helpful

Lovely little game that's a mix between wolfenstein and a metroidvania, it's very calm and a good game to play when you want to unwind. The puzzles are mostly navigational and the map isn't that big that you'll get hopelessly lost. Took me an hour and a half to beat, I got it for 3 euro on sale and honestly it was totally worth the money. Pick this little gem up and I hope the devs decide to make a follow-up, and hopefully one with more verticality akin to how Doom was a sequel to Wolfenstein.

The game is short - but perfect for the price. It reminds me to Zelda meets Doom. WHere the main goal is killing enemies and resolving indirect puzzles finding the needed weapons/ The boss fights are "simple" but they have enough variety to give you a decent challenge. Would play again

I picked this up on sale, but it's definitely worth the $7 USD they are asking. Short game that knows what it wants to be and doesn't overstay that welcome.

Anopek is like if Metroid Prime had been made in the days of Wolfenstein 3D. In other words, it is a neat little game. The exploration is fun and the map is just the right size, but there are a few issues. The guns are as powerful as a sneeze, the hitboxes are narrower than the sprites and there are a few bugs as well. But these are mild annoyances as scouring through the map in order to fight bosses is quite strong gameplay loop. And the bosses themselves are well-designed for the most part too. Anopek is worth your time, especially on a sale, but this is like a prelude to a much stronger sequel. Which I hope gets made someday. 3/5

GOOD
