Intrude

Intrude is a small project that tried to capture the likes of Wolfenstein 3D with a few modern ammenties and graphic improvements. Although much shorter, it is still a fun experience as it has 3 episodes of 5 levels for each. I know mentioning Wolf 3D might turn people off as it can be very difficult to navigate, but with the level layouts being somewhat smaller sometimes and varied textures, it is easier to find your way. You get 5 weapons, a knife which is a one-shot for most enemies, a pistol which is good for the whole game, a shotgun which is better up close, a machine gun which shoots faster with less accuracy, and a rocket launcher that does a ton of damage. Each with their own ammo and done well enough in this game that they are fine to use and have a purpose for each throughout. The music is nice, just wish there was more than 5 tracks. The enemies are different colored, but unnamed soldiers, each with a different weapon from your arsenal. Greens have a pistol, Browns have a baton, Purples have a machine gun, Blues have a rocket launcher, and there is a moving sentry and the final boss. Somewhat simple to fight, but they work and for some reason have telepathy as they often shoot before your round a corner and can never be ambushed. Which brings me to the only bug I found. The Purples shoot a burst and it seems there is something wrong with the targeting because I have had them hit me through walls. Besides that, my only complaint is there desperately needs to be map and stat counter if you want to 100% and helps navigate. There are guides for both already, just kind of needs to be in the game, but the dev(s) seem to have left this project. In conclusion, a fun experience if you are wanting to play something like Wolf 3D, but shorter and easier.

What happens when you take Wolfenstein 3D, put it into a sci-fi environment and add a Doom-style sounding soundtrack? Intrude happens. A great old-school boomer-shooter for everybody who wants to relive the moments from their childhood when they have been secretly playing Wolf3D on a school computer behind the teacher's back. I don't know if retro-style titles such as this can entertain younger generations though, but I want to believe they can. The design of these old shooters, which consists of traversing maze-like corridors, looking for hidden health packs, ammo boxes and even more hidden secret chambers and then suddenly combating large number of enemies in a more open battle arena, does not age in my opinion. This kind of design will always be fun. It is eternal.

[h1]Rating[/h1] 7/10 [h1]Intro[/h1] Considering Steam is full of Wolfenstein 3D inspired shovelware, finding an actual good Wolfenstein 3D inspired shooter feels like finding an oasis. Thankfully, Intrude is the latter. While the lack of quick saves is not for everyone and there are some cruel level design moments, it's still genuinely challenging for the most part. [h1]Positives[/h1] + Good soundtrack. + Decent enemy variety. + Decent weapon variety. + Weapons have good impact. + Good aesthetics and graphics. [h1]Negatives[/h1] - Some level design moments are too cruel. - The lack of quick saves is not for everyone.

Чёрт возьми. Это игра на 2 часа, которая надоедает спустя пол часа. Явно закос под Вульфенштейн 3D, но в Вульфе скорость персонажа была в 3 раза выше, а также уровни больше (что на первый взгляд компенсируется друг другом, но эта унылая долгая ходьба в этой игре - это что-то с чем то, в сочетании с угрюмой цветовой палитрой создается невероятное ощущение скукоты и однообразия, Вульфенштейн 3D было позадорнее играть) + саундтрек в Вульфе был более мелодичным и таким бодрящим, а здесь полный кал, уж извините, мне редко не нравятся осты в играх, но это невыносимый саундтрек, я его понизил по громкости очень сильно. Конечно платина забавная, но... нет... к чёрту. Мне не понравилась игра.

There are tons of 2.5 D shooters in the market rn, but i gotta say this one stands out in the good way, it feels polished, it starts smoothly and most importantly, it's really entertaining. As you progress in the game you discover new weapons as well as new enemy types and the maps keep evolving so if you don't have good sense orientation you may have a bit of a hard time, but it's great lol. I'd just love that there was a level selector option so if you are more of a completionist you don't have such a hard time going all over the whole game again just cuz u missed something

Almost good, but all the difficulty comes from counting ammo usage.

I saw this game in a video showcasing a list of retro-style games and it caught my eye. I really like the retro visuals and the sound effects are very satisfying. Downsides would be: you can't save and you can't select a specific level that you want to play, you have to play the whole thing again. Another thing is you can't move the camera up and down (minor thing though). Other than that, it's a nice game, I recommend it to others that like retro-style games and I hope it does well!

Ignore my playtime, played it on a different account years ago. Cute fun little Wolf 3D style FPS. Simple but charming graphics, REALLY good soundtrack, modern controls, and an intuitive level editor, all indie, clearly a labor of love, and all for cheaper than actual Wolfenstein 3D. What is there to complain about? If you're among the crowd that thinks Wolf 3D is too simple to hold up today, then I guess you might not like it. But if you're someone who still plays ECWolf and Wolf4SDL mods and has a blast (like me) or just wants a cute few hours of fun, it's easily worth the whopping $4.00.
