Can Strike

[h1] Plays like a drunken Doom! 3 stages, some robot popping. After each wave select some random upgrades. I think it might be fun game if devs manage to make it a full blown game. [/h1]

I am to understand this is a student project game, so what I'll say is with the understanding that there was possibly a due date, and that they possibly wanted to do more, and I am happy the group are willing to share it publicly Movement feels a bit stiff as when moving around, there is about a 0.5 second delay before you actually move even though the walking noise plays whenever you hit a movement key. There's no FPS limit option, which my computer learned the hard way to begin with, that and even though the game looks good and seemingly runs well, I would like to see an option to lower graphics, or to change from either full screen or 1920x1080 res. As stated in other comments, sound effects don't feel impactful Perks you gain don't feel like they do anything (aside from the faster reload one), and I feel like there could be more variety in there, and the amount you get at the end of each wave personally shocked me. Enemy AI got stuck on several things on the factory level, such as on the side of a stationary container, or stuck in a corner. Didn't feel like there was a reason for using the machine pistol, as the shotgun felt better due to the crowds of enemies always forming. Glory Kills felt functionally identical to the ones in the modern doom games, nothing wrong with it, just the animation didn't hit the same. I liked the inclusion of the secret in the factory level, but find it dumb you could theoretically stay there if it wasn't for you being unable to shoot the robots stuck at the invisible wall, and that the character mentions a flying boat, yet there's nothing in there except for 2 ammo boxes and 2 healing items. I wish I could change my FOV as I am a degenerate who likes playing shooters on 120. Finally, the game crashed when starting a 3rd wave on the factory. Overall, this is a pretty good student game that I could easily see being improved, few traits, improved sounds, an overall ironing out and this could be golden imo, but I feel inclined to say that there could be better out there. As it stands however, I don't think I can recommend it in its current state, there are just too many flaws, there's a lot of potential, and a lot of ideas I like, but that cant stop my computer from sounding like a reactor. If the developers are reading this, don't be put down, this is can easily be improved, and I am interested if more will come of this studio, and I don't think I have played a better school project game, or one that captivated me this much, I want to see this be expanded on or improved.
