a good short game , don't have much to say , but definitely worth playing...

Pretty cool game! Nice and quick with around 25 minutes of playtime if you are just cruising through everything. The weapons are pretty straightforward but fun (my favorite was definitely the sword tho). The artstyle is awesome! Overall vibe of the game is sick! Definitely worth your time if you are in the mood for a game about shooting demons!

Whilst I haven't played for that long, I feel my time with this game, and its runtime, allow me to form a grounded opinion. This is a really satisfying game to play. It reminds me very much of early FPS games, especially Half-Life, but with a very Doom-adjacent feel. The weapons are solid, and there is nearly always a use for each in a combat encounter. Furthermore, the way that the weapons are slowly introduced, whilst not an uncommon mechanic, works very well in this title; I feel that I am introduced to a new weapon at exactly the right time, and never feel bored or overwhelmed by my weapon choices. I will note here that the sword does feel quite clunky to use, and I am yet to use it aside from wanting to challenge myself. On the topic of challenge, I think the difficulty of this game scales brilliantly. On the normal difficulty, most of the combat hits the sweet spot of not to challenging, but hard enough that it's by no means easy. The different difficulty levels also scale just as one might expect. As for the graphics, I couldn't want more. In an industry overrun by modern, photorealistic graphics, even in the indie scene, this game provides exactly the kind of retro-style visuals that find the perfect balance between looks and function. Function is one thing I think is done perfectly, even better one could argue than many of the Doom games themselves. In this title, enemy types are overtly clear, each consisting of one bold colour, as well as details of course, making it explicitly clear what type of enemies you are dealing with at a glance - an area where I think many Doom games fall short. Overall, I think this is an incredibly entertaining title, and one that I will definitely play more. I think this is a well made game, for which I would gladly have paid, as I think the experience, whilst short for a single playthrough, would be well worth the money.
