Rogue City: Casual Top Down Shooter

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Rogue City: Casual Top Down Shooter is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of stock assets from Sketchfab and other places and dumped them on a basic Unity top down shooter template they stole from somewhere. It has no value or merit as a real game. An example of the "borrowed" flipped assets is the main character for the game, the stolen cop asset, [url=https://sketchfab.com/models/a4af9c58c41440c3bf7d95d3b812b140/embed]"Police Officer Hunter"[/url], taken from the real developer, BitGem, who at the very least deserves to be credited for his work, rather than having it plagiarised by an unethical Russian asset flipper. HapGames have a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. An example of HapGames doing this is [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2608300]Sonny The Mad Man: Casual Arcade Shooter[/url], which is really "[url=https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-full-game-kit-hammer-2.353481/]Full Game Kit - Hammer 2[/url]", written by the actual developers, XForm Games. Also, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2642970]Stealth Assault: Urban Strike[/url], which is really "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/rpg-fps-game-assets-for-pc-mobile-industrial-set-v7-0-177135]RPG/FPS Game Assets Industrial Set[/url]", developed by Dmitrii Kutsenko. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. Rogue City: Casual Top Down Shooter is yet another of literally hundreds of lazy amateur 2D retro top-down shooter/brawlers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Rogue City: Casual Top Down Shooter is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

评分：1.5/5 评测：一个操作非常简单的闯关小游戏，玩家只需要通过移动来躲避子弹，站立不动时便会自动追击射击，上手难度超低。不过系统的自动射击只会追击最近的敌人，并且不会预判敌人走位，所以面对移动中的敌人时一般都是无法打中的，尤其是在BOSS关中，由于BOSS会无限召唤小怪，玩家的自动瞄准就会一直锁到小怪身上，半个小时都打不完，手感实在是差，不太推荐

a fun game if you have some time to kill, I particularly liked a variety of weapons with cool looking effects, like splashes and explosions, many different enemies and how you need to avoid their attack coming from everywhere
