CTHON

Really atmospheric and challenging.

Uggghh who Cthon'd all over my keyboard?!

Nice 8-bit style graphics. Creepy atmosphere But the gameplay feels very slow. And there are only 3 weapons. But thats not the worst part. The worst part is the fact that this game doesn't have a save system. If you play it. Be prepared to beat it. And yes if you die once the game is over. Would only recommend this to old-school fps collectors. Otherwise buy at your own risk.

Давайте помогу подобрать к этой игре эпитет. -Раздражающая. -скучная -бессодержательная -однообразная За 2+ часа, что я провёл в этой игре. я едва ли увидел хоть что-то, что заставило бы меня пройти эту игру. Многие авторы считают, что добавив к своей игре роуг лайт элементы, то эти элементы сами по себе сделают игру реиграбельной и длинной, и интересной. Ну хороша вилка к ужину, а чистить ей тяжело и неэффективно. Так же и тут Роуг лайт элементы абсолютно не нужны и бессмысленны настолько, насколько чистить туалет вилкой или подметать ломом. Я люблю шутеры старой школы, но они все законченные произведения где каждый метр это труд помноженный на любовь делённый на гениальность исполнения своей роли программиста. Хтонь, ну просто Хтонь.

I know haven't played it that long yet, but here are some pros and cons I find about Cthon. Take this as first impressions. Pros - + Slower pacing. Almost has a survival horror vibe to it + Map lay out feels good (sometimes I do get lost) + The limited amount of carrying space makes for some tough decisions early in your run + Using upgrades to make your weapons stronger feels so good + The audio of the game adds to the overall vibe very well Cons - - The slower pacing might not be for some - The limited amount of space you have starting out might be a turn off - Some deaths do feel cheap. Sometimes you just get overrun and it's GG. - Doesn't seem to be a lot of gun variety - Melee doesn't feel all that good Overall, I have been enjoying my time with the game so far. Having a few different classes to tinker with, a couple difficulty modes to play around with, and a nice slow pace horror feel makes this game I was looking for right now. I don't think it is for everybody but I think the asking price ($5) is fair, especially on sale ($1).

Fun little retro FPS rougelike. Gorgeous retro textures oozing with personality that feels like Lovecraft meets Alien. Lots of customization for different classes and playstyles. Not too ambitious. It knows it's a $5 game and gives you a good value for that investment.

This is one of those indie games that feels like a small bites of delicious fudge with a great chewy center, it doesn't last long but it is well made with great sounds, atmosphere, and solid controls and mechanisms, but it doesn't last too long and I do have a few small complaints, such as the possibility of no secrets being generated in a level being too harsh, there should be at least ONE secret in a level in my view. It is a solid purchase for the low price, and I do recommend you try this game out if you have some cash to spare, and some quiet hours to spend alone with no interruptions to just zone out and focus on this intense, creepy game.

The atmosphere is on point: graphics and audio are perfect for the space-lovecraftian setting. As for the rest of it, there's just not much there. The gameplay is dead simple and thanks to the procedurally generated levels, there's a lot of time spent exploring corridors to nowhere. It gets a bit tedious. I'm not a fan of roguelikes or procedural generation in the first place, so maybe I'm not the target audience. My one (and probably only) playthrough was just to tour the funky levels and see the various cyber-undead wildlife. I feel like I got my couple bucks worth.

great game for what it is...

I didn't get far in yet at the point of writing this, but for an FPS it doesn't exactly feel action packed. However, the procedural generation keeps the runs fresh and the gun upgrade mechanic is interesting to tweak and try new things. Not bad for a buck.
