Cyberscape

Олдскулы, свело) прикольная игра, много оружия, дробовик и гранаты мыши топ)), прокачка скилов есть, ну и разные враги, как стреляющие так и милишники!) Вообщем прикольно есть куда развиваться! Ах да остерегайтесь бочек!

Прикольная игра в духе вольфенштайна. Есть прокачка скиллов. Есть десяток персонажей с разными навыками и оснащением. Миникарта помогает ориентироваться в классических лабиринтообразных уровнях, а тараканы дают просраться. Из минусов: темп нарастает медленно, но это вкусовщина.

"Ugh, how many boomshoots does Steam really need?" Well, this one is one you seriously should add to your massive boomshoot collection. 90s boomshoot made in 2026, inspired by Zero Tolerance on the Sega Genesis (and the game the Continue? youtube channel said sucks). With RPG mechanics, a level editor, and a game that allows you to mod it. Hell yeah, my new favorite game. lol

You want a retro FPS? [i][b]Like Doom?[/b][/i] No, the other retro FPS [i][b]Like Marathon?[/b][/i] No, the other [i]other[/i] retro FPS. Stuff that resembles titles on 16 bit consoles or later home micros like the Amiga or Atari ST. [i][b]*blank look*[/b][/i] Ok, I guess the appeal is limited. Cyberscape is niche. It steps past the usual suspects that you would get on PC and goes even further back to systems that, on paper, really, really should not have been getting a first person perspective shooter with 3D (or even psydo-3D) worlds. The kind of ambitious titles that would push CPUs like the 68000 to the absolute limits of what they were capable of. From the perspective of PC players of the time, they just seemed like poor facsimiles of their far more capable hardware. Yet, inside those old titles were usually oddly fascinating, working in circles where the traditional design concepts were not set and tended to use alternative logic to the mainstream of the time. Cyberscape taps into that niche. Its alternative logic makes it a genuinely fascinating experience, and as such is the kind of title that should be looked at by the more curious of folks. Bear in mind though this game not only replicates the basis of the titles of this subsection of titles, but also a lot of the more flawed concepts from the era. It is also absolutely not for everyone, and for the average shooter fan this may be a little bit too far down the niche rabbit hole. [h1]Against the Corporation (A500/Mega Drive)[/h1] Let us start by breaking down what Cyberscape is. An FPS in a space station of a large corporation that has been doing some nefarious deeds. You have been sent in to take out their program and you shoot your way through lots and lots of corporate stooges, robotic security and assorted genetic mutant creatures. The gameplay mostly revolves around you walking around in a raycasted (simulated) world, with no verticality and the only up or down in the game comes from entering into elevators which move between floors. You pick up various guns you find, shooting the mooks and getting XP, which you can then spend in the main hub areas of the levels to improve your character. Truth be told, that is about the full scope of what the game has. While that may sound enough for most shooters, they tend to depend on punchy combat or nice movement. Cyberscape has neither of those things, where the movement feels somewhat stiff (zero inertia) and the shooting is with recoil free guns against enemies that barely flinch. As one can imagine, in a world of boomshoots with some of the punchiest combat around, this is not the most appealing sounding premise. Maybe the world itself may be the exciting part? Again, not quite. The world is simulated to feel like a raycasted game, somewhat like Wolfenstein or Blake Stone. While the walls are thankfully not all at right angles, they are quite samey, with frequent repeated tile textures that feel like they are pasted onto the sides of set size grid blocks. This makes map use almost essential in some areas, as the levels can devolve into absolute mazes. [h1]I'm a man with very specific taste[/h1] Thus far, I’ve possibly painted one of the worst pictures you can imagine for Cyberscape. Why the hell would you want to play an FPS game that has clunky shooting, slow movement and confusing level design? The answer is simple: you are not going to play a title like Cyberscape for an experience that focuses on the post Id Software world, you play it for the slow crawl. If you go into Cyberscape looking for something akin to Doom, Wolfenstein or Quake, it’ll disappoint. They focused on speed and thrills. As the American market dominated the globe, the slower, more ponderous titles that would appear in other countries vanished into obscurity. Titles like Zero Tolerance, Corporation or Beyond the Iron Gate. They were more about exploring the whole map and carrying out objectives than just making a beeline for the exit. Of all the titles mentioned, this is most like Zero Tolerance, but it feels like it was designed for A1200 tech with its visuals. This is an alternative world game. It has the 80s style design elements, where dungeon crawling and upgrading characters takes precedence over strafe circling around foes. You are more likely to be focusing on which floor you think the green key is on over wondering if your going into a trap with Archviles and pinky demons. It has you looking at vent covers to see if there is a passage behind them you can crawl into. Looking at wall textures for breakable walls etc. In a way, it is closer to an old Dungeon Crawler RPG like Dungeon Master that has more modern controls, and for some that is absolutely a market that is criminally underserved. In many ways this makes a lot of criticisms thrown at Cyberscape not really stick. It is so novel that a lot of problems it may seem to have are less problems and are actual features of a bygone era that it is doing its darndest to retain. Like a very specific music type that can be listed under sub-sub-subgenres, it is not for everyone, but those who it is for, it absolutely nails it hard. I guess I could level a couple of criticisms at the game. For one, the mouselook and twinstick viewing can be pushed up and down, meaning you can look up and down. In something that is designed to specifically emulate a raycasted look, verticality seems utterly pointless. Similarly, there is a jump button. Jumping is utterly useless in this game. Not slightly useless, utterly useless. Considering a few commands are not mapped to the controller at its default, the fact they mapped a jump to the pad just seems silly. If I could critique one thing, it is how guns and ammo work, and the game explains that badly. All ammo is presented as full weapons, meaning if you need more ammo, you just find a gun and walk over it. Once you use up all the ammo for that gun, the gun simply vanishes from existence and the inventory slot it took up before empties. When you find another gun afterwards, this fills the now empty slot. This is fine once you figure it out, but once you find a new weapon while all your slots are full, you are likely going to pour over the options looking for a drop weapon key. Truth be told, the only way to empty the slot is to just fire off all shots you have remaining on another gun. This makes things a little messy in places, and it can result in you sitting there just firing off the 200 rounds from your pistol just to empty the slot for a rocket launcher. Annoying, but not world ending. [h1]Not for everyone, but for a very special someone[/h1] In conclusion, I will advise Cyberscape for the most part. I would normally advise against titles like this, just because of how utterly niche they are, but considering this has flown under virtually everyone’s’ radars, I feel it needs all the boosting it can get. For the average person, even in retro shooter circles, this may be a bit too off kilter. For those who loved Amiga and pre-Doom console shooters? This is the oasis in the desert you have been looking for!

Обалденный шутер в ретро стиле, для тех кому нравился zero tolerance на sega и ранние игры из серии doom и quke. В игре присутствует система прокачки, что в купе с мясными монстрами и роботами делает ее похожей на system shock. Уже на ранней версии игра оставляет положительные эмоции, это компиляция лучшего из классических шутеров.

If you've been missing high-quality boomer shooters with progression elements set in a sci-fi universe, then Cyberscape is definitely worth checking out. The game draws inspiration from a blend of Zero Tolerance and DOOM, with a pinch of System Shock. A must-play.

Cyberscape stands out in the current wave of boomer-shooters, feeling like a distinct love letter to classics such as Zero Tolerance, Wolfenstein 3D, and Doom. It successfully marries old-school aesthetics with modern quality-of-life features, creating an experience that feels both familiar and fresh. It captures a dark, gloomy atmosphere that can genuinely feel scary when resources are low. Yet, it balances this tension with playful nostalgic winks, such as soothing elevator music and visual charms that show the developers truly love the genre. The graphics and music solidly represent the era, enhancing the immersion.

I like game on the whole. But it's feels not so polished for me. (good for early access but bad for release) And too low mouse sensitivity range ruins my gameplay. Upd: Devs told me sensitivity as intended. Ok, I meant - if you like fast but haven't gaming mouse with high DPI or don't want to mess with switching it, you just not intended to play because ... hmmm we can't change slider range to make everyone happy. Ok. I will go just play another doom or quake with "sensitivity 30" command...

I'm a few levels in and liking it so far. A few things I can already recommend: - A dedicated kick/punch button rather than changing to fists - Running is sluggish and drags when you have to make it back to the elevator - Need a better indication that enemies have been hit. Hard to know if my shots made it

This one's a decent little shooter, proper Wolfenstein 3D vibes. There’s something really satisfying about blasting monsters till they’re just red paste everywhere. The sprites and animations are honestly lovely - real tidy work there. Gotta say, it’s actually balanced pretty well for an early access title, doesn’t feel half-baked like you might expect. That said, the SFX and music are a bit dead at the moment - could do with a bit more punch, you know? Hopefully they sort that out down the line.
