It's cool, absolutely incredible work with the ambience and effects, all done with low-res sprite work that makes it look pretty good. The rest is fine honestly, really good maps but the gunplay is just ok, more slow than other retro-shooters (which isn't bad) with nothing too noteworthy, specially gun variety. I like that there are different secondary shots but half of them are more circunstancial for specific cases. It has potential with future chapters, and what is there is fun, so it's worth keeping an eye on it. Esp: Esta bastante bien, absolutamente increíble trabajo con el ambiente y los efectos, todo hecho con sprites de baja resolución que lo hacen ver tremendo. El resto está bien sinceramente, los mapas son muy buenos, pero el gunplay es ok nada más, más lento que en otros retro shooters (lo cual no es malo) pero sin nada muy destacable, especialmente en la variedad de armas. Me gusta que haya disparo secundario diferente, pero la mitad de ellos son más circunstanciales para casos específicos. Tiene potencial con los capítulos futuros, y lo que hay es entretenido, vale la pena estar al tanto de actualizaciones por lo menos.
I am loving this game so far. Biggest criticism I have though is performance issues with the Steamdeck. Even on low, it struggles for some reason. I hope to see it verified soon.
Painted In Blood plays more like a methodical survival horror, despite it initially appearing like a fast paced boomer shooter. It's quite moody and atmospheric, with a gorgeous combination of retro throwback graphics and modern lighting and effects. Even though it's in early access, it feels like a full featured, developed game.
This was a good journey down the dark path of the protagonists scarred and tortured mind. A man overridden with regret, guilt, and more. The game is filled with passion of a dev who poured their heart and soul into making a decades long vision come true. combat feels nice and punchy. the weapons fit well with the time frame and the flow of the game. i enjoyed the larger design to the levels and the think outside the box approach to finding secrets. the graphics were more demanding than i expected but i set TSR to performance and that improved the frame rate a lot (even vs balanced) with out noticing any lag or much of any difference image quality wise vs off. Overall the game is well worth playing and shouldn't disappoint you.

В целом похожа на Cultic, но это скорее survival horror, нежели ретрошутер - нет той динамики, свободы передвижения и размаха уровней. Также в плане атмосферы игра, как ни странно, напоминает The Evil Within 2 - там был безумный фотограф-убийца, создававший "живые" картины, и мы периодически прогуливались вдоль его мрачных "произведений искусства", так что в сочетании с инфернальными противниками вайб весьма схожий. Вещь безусловно интересная и имеющая место быть, визуал и звук на высоте, ничего плохого не скажу, но геймплейно лично меня она от себя оттолкнула. Всему виной душащее сочетание медлительности главного героя, коридорности уровней, невидимости теневых врагов и обилия скучноватых записок при практически полном отсутствии музыки.
[h1]《Painted In Blood》:中文,拜托了[/h1] 本作是一款异常优秀的《层层恐惧》风格第一人称动作像素生存恐怖游戏。只不过由于动作机制和武器系统相当完善,因此比起《层层恐惧》这种纯步行模拟心理恐怖游戏来说,《Painted In Blood》在风格上更像是《铁肺》作者David Szymanski的《Dusk》等动作作品的风格,战斗起来相当爽快。同时除了远程、近战以及红外线照射杀敌以外,本作甚至还融合了跑酷机制,总之是将动作恐怖游戏的一些杀敌系统缝了个遍,游玩起来相当有意思。 而且相比之下,同样是被包装成像素风格的第一人称恐怖游戏,与《Dusk》这类作品相比,本作虽然没有那样快的战斗节奏,但是细节和美术设计也要更加精良。 游戏的关卡设计也有非常明显的提示,即便没有中文也不影响游玩,玩家可以轻松享受游戏,美术与游戏性带来的体验感。但作为这样一款文本量并不算小的恐怖游戏,在游玩时一点文本也不看体验起来确实不怎么样,因此强烈呼吁作者尽快联系可以制作汉化的团队,为游戏加入中文语言支持。 [quote]关注鉴赏组:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦,一鉴倾心,邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅![/quote]
Layers of Doom. Surprisingly solid shooter. Slow and with a strong atmospheric streak and a very heavy narrative focus. Great visuals, excellent gunplay, neat combat, altho sometimes it gives vibes of "everything and the kitchen sink" in terms of approach. Good atmosphere and an OK (if heavy handed) story visibly inspired by Layers of Fear. My biggest gripe (apart from being very obviously unfinished) - The level design. The levels are beautiful, sure, but often come across as labirynthian in the worst way possible, being somehwat confusing mazes with little visual distinction and cues for player direction. Other than that - I was very pleasantly surprised, worth following. I'll play it in full once it releases for sure.
ну чёто как будто ну не, как будто не хочется. Не выкупил короче игру
Excellent, absolutely excellent. You've done a great job capturing both the highs of horror gameplay and retro fps gameplay. And incredibly potent but difficult to pull of blend. I eagerly await the rest of your work, you really nailed it thus far.
