Conviction

new review for the actual release: Conviction is a somewhat short doom-like(?) shooter. At first glance, it's got really good music and a fitting atmosphere for what its trying to portray. Getting more into the actual game, the shotgun is BY FAR my favourite weapon in the game. You can't really beat the ability to kill enemes in 1 shot, can you? The other weapons also have their place in the game. The axe serves as the early game weapon and actually stays kinda useful until you get the shotgun! It serves as an instakill option with the risk of taking damage, with the revolver as a solid secondary option if youre low on health. The gatling gun is a bit hit or miss for me. It's incredible at shredding big targets like bosses, but lackluster when you need to hit an enemy-sized enemy. The movement feels somewhat polished with a hint of "♥♥♥♥ it we ball", letting you zoom past enemies if youre good enough or get softlocked because you tried to open a gate the wrong way, which i think fits the theme of the game. I really like the design of the earlier levels (1-4). I love how you're just wandering through random villages killing all the people that "went crazy" just because you feel like it. I'm also a big fan of levels 9 and 12! I love how they feel different from the "close quarters labyrinth" feel that becomes kind of boring after level 10. Then there's level 14, the last "adventure" level. Might be more of a personal opinion but i think its a bit rushed or not too thought-out. The red key section feels WAYYYY longer compared to the other 2 keys, especially since the green key is a short walk away from the path you follow for the actual gate. Lastly, there's the final boss. "John Almighty" is like amalgamation with hands or the false prophet... with hands. The acid floor lake is basically just a regular floor, the enemies only matter for the 3 seconds you're off of the platform where the hands are and it all just feels a little too easy (in my opinion). The game has come really far since it was first released as an itchio demo game 3 years ago. And I still think it has room to grow. The developer has been actively trying to make the game better for the past 2 days, since the full game release, and if this goes on I think we'll end up with a pretty good bang for your buck 1-3 hour game! One last thing before i stop writing nonsense, I'm really happy to have helped in any way during the development, even if it was just finding bugs and I'm overall pretty content with having spent money on the game. pre full-release joke review: JOHN CONVICTION SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!! SO I WAS LIKE STROLLING AROUND IN THE MIDST OF NIGHT THEN TWO HOODED BLOKES PULL UP WITH LIKE KUKRIS AND KNIVE THINGAMAGIGS. THEY TRY TO MUG ME BUT THEN JOHN CONVICTION COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND WITH A SWING OF HIS AXE HE MURDERS BOTH. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO KEEP RUNNING WHILE SCREAMING BUT YEAH HE SAVED MY LIFE. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE HOSPITAL SINCE I SUFFERED SEVERE BLOOD LOSS BECAUSE OF AN AXE INJURY

9/10 needs more goth girls Did you know? Did you know that whenever you french fries on ketchup, taste ketchup fries you. Th-this is because ketchup and taste french fries on ketchup is referenced to taste french fries on ketchup you taste.

Fun to speedrun, great game. :)

the game is quick fun, albeit has some major flaws it came out of early access pretty underbaked, depending on your opinion it mightve come out way too underbaked, however with everything thats been going on with the developer during the games development, its really a miracle how it managed to get to this point of being able to come out of early access at all. the gameplay is fun, so far theres only 15 (+1) short levels to go through (depending on who you ask thats a good or bad thing) enemy and gun variety is a tad bit lacking, though i wouldnt say its much of an issue with how short the game is, its not boring to run through even with this issue (+ the developer is planning to add more enemies later down the line in future updates) there are other smaller issues that i could point out, however they are relatively minor, if you like classic doom or quake, you might like this, its not great but it is a fun novelty. in my opinion where this game might shine best is in the speedrun department. as of writing this review the game wasnt really made with speedrunning in mind and doesnt have the tools to make it very convinient like most other games in the genre, however with how the game is structured, the seeds are there, given enough time and polish the game could definitely turn into a very fun small speedrunning game TLDR: fun game, very rough around the edges, but an enjoyable novelty to run through

i like this game, its fun and cool. hi

buy the game, show your conviction

Mr.Bitchium made this game :)

this game reminds me of

Im kinda sad, there is not more to the game at the moment. It is fun, their is some little issues here and there, nothing major. I hope at some point you can finish this game, cause I want to finish it too ! PRO: "Game gave me a raging hard-on" CON: "Multiple OSHA violations" exemple no railing, open flames, boxes everywhere !

Fun game. Looking forward to more updates. This a fun casual time killer. I would recommend to people if they want to just play a game running around shooting things.
