Saloonery

Thank you, Mr. Hoss, very nice

I have had a blast playing through Saloonery's first few levels! Primarily being a shooter, Saloonery brings a satisfying and unique arcade-style feel to gunplay. While each gun has a unique feel, some do seem more powerful than others - I particularly like the Coyote Carbine and Harmonica Pistols. I have been impressed by the variety of maps and game modes available giving each level significant replayability. I am looking forward to playing through the new maps! The skill tree is very achievable, and the UI brings a unique feel that compliments the game's retro aesthetic. Overall, I think Saloonery is well worth the $10 asking price - I have quite enjoyed it so far am looking forward to finishing the game!

Doom 2016 + Call of Juarez: Gunslinger = Saloonery. This is a game not for your executive functions, but for your reflexes and instincts. Saloonery knows this and delivers a pure shooting-gallery experience, complete with charming wooden cutout-style character design. The breakneck pace and recharging bullet-time mechanic create an oscillating push and pull, offense and defense dynamic. You'll be clicking heads and taking names one second and scrambling to shake off twenty bandits the next. Saloonery's ending [spoiler] is phenomenal. I lied before: Doom 2016 + CoJ:G + Devil Daggers = Saloonery. The final boss is jarring in the best way; it's basically a jumpscare. It's a fantastic culmination for a game that wears its FPS influences on its sleeve. Before all that, the second to last level has the most creative visual design in the whole game. [/spoiler] I recommend Saloonery for an afternoon of pure twitchy cowboy-gothic fun.

I enjoyed the game! Not enough stamina tbh, and I don't get enough stars per level, even on hard mode to actually feel any upgrades. There wasn't any real indication that we could upgrade either. No melee feels kinda off, that would've been nice. The bosses... could've had more variety in their attacks, especially last one. Looping it around itself while holding left click for a minute is not very exciting. The movement felt nice, and the weapon selection was good. It's a good quick game designed for speed running and fits nicely in that category. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out. It needs a few tweaks. Sprint-crouch into slide would help the movement feel more smoother. That carrying acceleration should also help boost next jump. Very cool game.

I really like the art style. How enemies are defeated is fun and it has cool particle effects.

....Nope. not for that price. It's not even about the lenght: I've seen better gameplay loop in doom mods than this one, not even considering that the junky-ness (which at the start is even entertaining, but gets annoying really fast. try dashing in uneven terrain, and you'll reach hyperspace). So... you could buy, but only after a [b]Heavy[/b] discount.

Short but fun, nice variety of weapons and a handful of upgrades. Couple weird moments on the wave based parts (was missing an enemy in 1, melee based enemies attacking you through walls before they see you) but nothing too annoying. First issue was solved by just resetting the level. Movement and gunplay feel great. The Stormbreaker is incredible and maybe op but I'm fine with it. Looking forward to more

Fun, little buggy, needs a ingame timer/leaderboard, needs more incentive to kill enemies

Played it, Love it. It good. It is like if Doom was given a nice HD coat of Western paint and given some Ultrakill style movement.

How far can a shooter go on gamefeel alone? Saloonery isn't exactly ambitious in terms of scope, and even then some aspects like the hub and skill upgrades feel threadbare. I'm still recommending it, because the feeling of seeing a bullet leave the barrel, and still dodging at the last moment hit like little else (even in games with bullet time). I'm still recommending it because it is quick, snappy, and easily readable in a way that feels close to perfect, even in an age increasingly crowded in retro-styled shooters. Also it's cheap. That never hurts.
