Peraglees - The Ooloufian Resistance

Somehow, this year I have now played TWO gay furry shmups that directly reference Alien Soldier on their title screens. What are the chances? (The other is A Whole Wolfrush) Some rough edges here (I do not like the movement inertia and bouncing off obstacles), but this is a weirdly charming and extremely silly arcade twin-stick shooter in the style of Total Carnage. A bit easy on Normal mode, but I'll be happy to swing by and give Hard mode a try, plus the DLC modes that are teased so much on the main menu. Big DOS shareware-era nostalgia.

It's been a long time since I played video games of this calibur and with much creativity. What really drives home with this particular game, is how it focuses more on simplicity and running with it. The easier the game is to control, the more efficient it is to innovate and add on to it. Peraglees The Oolufian Resistance is not only one of my top video games of all time, but it is one that really drives home what really makes a video game shine throughout each generation. Reinvention and differentiation. In this review, I am going to go over how both terms relate to this game, my pros, the professionalism of DPADFTW as a whole and what I am looking forward to moving forward with Peraglees The Ooloufian Resistance. Update as of 01/24/2026: I am happy to be able to tell my Mother BEFORE her passing to Ovarian Cancer, that I was in my first video game. The tears she shed? I will never forget them. Thank you again DPADFTW for giving me that opportunity. She thanks you too. When it comes to reinvention, Peraglees really steps up it's game and definitely fulfill it's promises. From one of the most creative game over scenes I have ever witnessed, to loads of weapons that you can switch at will, from the incredible/innovative music and from it's difficulty settings. One of the most intriguing difficulty settings, is the extreme mode. It brings me back to the old days of gaming where if the player dies, you will start all over again. Even if you beat the game one time, what really makes it addicting, is the unlockables and there are plenty of them to explore/easter eggs! One must admire what DPADFTW was able to produce, despite it's limited budget. The cutscenes pay excellent homage to old school retro gaming, where you read the text and see some of the characters moving with minor sound effects and voice acting. One of my favorite scenes, is where KAOTIX is confronting an elderly man and they have a heart to heart conversation. (Not gonna say much more, because I don't want to spoil it) It's moments like these, that really help you to see what DPADFTW was aiming for and it knocks it out of the ball park! The art style is definitely unique and pays much respect to the likeness of it's own/past artists from generations before us. There was definitely a lot of love and heart, put into each frame as the character is interacting with each character, including their trusty companion, the almighty doggo. Believe me when I say, there is a lot of lore when it comes to KAOTIX's friendly companion and he will help you during the hardest of boss fights and encounters of any difficulty! In terms of differentiation, there are a plenty of them. With most protagonist from old retro games, the main character has a goal, missions and gets a happy ending. That doesn't happen here and you will have to play the game/wait for future updates, to find out. It's a breath of fresh air to see any game development team, take what they have already experienced, mix it up a bit and give the audience and fans, something new and fresh to look at/experience. It's what keeps me coming back to Peraglees The Ooloufian Resistance time and time again. From it's large arsenal of weapons, random generation of items, that keeps the player guessing/figuring out how to strategize during each encounter and boss fight! Not to mention, the beautiful art/stage design, will keep you coming back! DPADFTW aims to please, when it comes to adding gameplay mechanics, that you wished existed in past generational games that Peraglees is heavily inspired from. Now let's talk about the professionalism of DPADFTW. Incredible! A leading standard/example of what makes Indie games not only so much fun, but trustworthy at the sametime. The staff have a heart of gold and the lead game designer/artist, were incredibly determined, to meet the needs/wants of those who supported them and tried out the demo. Anytime I ran into any minor issue with Peraglees The Ooloufian Resistance, it was easily fixed by simply messaging one of the staff team members on their discord server. KAOTIX has a drive, very understanding/is extremely determined, to make sure that this dream project comes to fruition at all costs. Well KAOTIX and his team delivered ten fold! In conclusion, Peraglees The Ooloufian Resistance is absolutely worth owning in your game library/sharing with friends. With the promises of new features, a story mode plus and much more based on the requests from the supporters, the future is incredibly bright for this game. I am honored to be able to test, support and even be apart of the many, who were playing this game on release day/spreading the word about it on different social media platforms! Seeing Kickstarter projects like this, is inspirational to not only future game designers, but to current ones who are looking for some motivation, to keep going with their projects. Peraglees The Oolufian Resistance proves, that no matter the budget or how small your team is, anything can be achieved. The future updates and the levels of positivity within DPADFTW, ensures that this project is in good hands. And of course the loads of weapons to choose from when mowing down my enemies! Delighted to call this one of my top ten games of 2024! Update as of 09/19/24: The new update is a HUGE improvement over the latest ones. Absolutely well done and I am looking forward to more content in the future! Don't get discouraged by low sales and etc. We want to see more of this game! ^^

An interesting twin stick shooter. It has elements and references inspired by Smash TV, Mercs, Total Carnage and many others. The controls are as expected for a game like this, d-pad moves, face buttons shoots in the desired direction, but with a few extra functions like Megabombs, evasive rolling and placing mines (originally you can only do it while rolling, but thanks to my input, it's no longer locked to it.) The action can get intense, especially when enemy foot soldiers spawning in if you wander around in an area. There are also some vehicles you can use to gain the upper hand. There's also upgrades and a story mode, but they're not available yet as of this writing. Can't wait to see more from the game and the devs.

Classic style of top down arcade shooter reminiscent of old school Call of Duty Zombies arcade mode. Even in early stage development there's a good amount of variety in weaponry and enemies. Unique boss sprites and an amazing soundtrack similar to old school Doom. This is 100% a passion project and I'm looking forward to every update.

It's definitely a challange... I love it! Definitely looking forward to kicking goblin butt. All I can say is, I really had fun playing this game. My absolute favorite gun "The Rocket Launcher" and "The Flame Thrower". But a shame it doesn't have "Boggel" lol.
