It's a Doom clone. If you don't have expectations based on that, just expect crisp, simple FPS. Mala Petaka has a vibrant, 8Bit feel with some brief interludes and comic bubbles. There are some clever new tricks and the beautiful world beckons you to stop and take a look around when you have to backtrack. It's right behind SRB2Kart as my favorite Doom mod/clone. It errs on the easy side, especially in the boss fights, whereas many games like it seem impossible. But don't let your guard down. It's easy to get taken out!
Mala Petaka is a very good game.
Holy hell! I started playing this a few months ago and it didn't really click for me, but after a few tweaks and updates I came back to it and it's become one of my favorite games I've played this year. Very straightforward and aggressive gameplay, maybe even a little simple, but the fusion of its pick up and play nature and the gorgeous, vibrant visuals and music really elevate it. This would be a great FPS for kids as well (though preferably in that case I could disable the blood in the character portrait) as you're essentially just exploding robots with little alien blobs inside. Plays really great with a controller as well! The reveal of the upcoming expansion at the end did make the game feel like it was secretly an Early Access title, but I'm excited for it nonetheless. Great stuff!
The game is fun to play and has unique visuals and audio, which set it apart from the usual boomer shooters full of demons and gore. It is, however, just a few hours long, so you might want to wait for a discount or more content, if the above is not enough of a incentive.
Pros - Great retro aesthetic - Very good chiptunes music - Good weapons Cons - Too short - Highly repetitive level design
This game is insanely fun! It has the classic joy and wackiness and frenzy of old school Duke Nukem or Doom-like games, in super neon vibes and topped by an incredible soundtrack. It's high paced and intense - the devs warn you about difficulty levels when choosing new game and they are not messing around, it's super tough! But every new attempt is so much fun and high paced. Lots of health and ammo, so you'll never find yourself scrounging for items. You just need to blast and survive each battle!
A really fun retro shooter. It's repetitive, but also short, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Great graphics and music, cool gameplay loop, can't wait for the expansion pack ^^ Also "mala petaka" sounds like a Sepultura song title :D
It's fun! The weapons all feel satisfying to use, and the pummeling mechanic is a simple yet satisfying way to maintain your health and encourage you to get up close to enemies. My only critique is that some of the levels can feel a bit too same-y.
Short but sweet! Would absolutely recommend the game to anyone who wants a high energy romp through a colorful GZ Doom fps! 9/10 would frag again
Absolutely beautiful game! The gunplay is tight and the levels are really well designed. The music is perfect - you can tell this game really was a labour of love. Don't miss this game!!!
