Selaco

One of the finest FPS games I have ever played, it will always hold a special place in my heart! Incredible graphics, atmospheric storytelling, amazing gunplay and top notch AI make Selaco one of the best FPS games on the market, not to mention its fantastic audio, including a banging soundtrack! This game is the absolute gold standard, dripping with atmosphere, I cannot wait for the next chapters to come out!

If you like shooters where each gun feels and plays uniquely, gorgeous art style, great music, interesting story then you should really try this game out. I didn't expect much of it and it really overdelivered. Waiting for chapter 2!

One of the best FPS's I've ever played. So much to do, awesome firefights, massive levels, so much creativity. Just incredible!

Great title. Describing it as a boomer shooter does it a disservice, as it feels like a very good one, but it also feels like a unique blend of many great games. Technically it feels impressive, the gunplay is top notch and overall it feels like next-gen of games of this type. The devs balance exploration with main objectives in an intuitive and confident way. It has detailed and destructible environments (impressive for this type of graphics) and though some elements feel underutilized (mostly concerning the story) it has some personality to it and feels promising. On technical side it runs like butter... most of the time. The level of destruction and amount and persistence of particles and decals is top notch, but it can be quite demanding if put on max settings regardless of the PC specifications. I've only encountered two crashes across all my hours of gameplay. Even unfinished, this game has a lot of content, including a meaty bonus level that is not easy to unlock. Additionally there's a randomized special campaign if you beat the game once without cheats, and this is mostly the same game but the randomization adds some unpredictability, and is also deeply customizable. I'm looking forward to further chapters.

Is this what its like to be a women? Jokes aside, this is one of the best games I've ever played. plenty of hours you have to put in just to beat the first act (all though i might just be bad). I recommend this to anybody that likes linear, advanced enemy ai focused games like F.E.A.R or Half Life. I honestly didn't care for this game too much, just getting it because it was in a deal with Fallen Aces too (Which is also awesome). Since its on a really old game engine, this doesn't even need to be optimized to play on any pc. The game's visuals are still stunning regardless and VERY aesthetically pleasing. The game is also EXTREMELY polished, I haven't found a single bug. I'm dead honest not 1. If you hate unintended features, including the fun ones, this game is more than polished enough for you. If your a Halo fan, This gives me some real Halo 3 ODST vibes whenever i play it. The aesthetic of a futuristic city in ruin taken over by a huge alien presence is so alike to New Mombasa. Not to mention tones of mutators that act like skulls. If you like gore, idk how, but with 2d sprites they made some really detailed gore. The best part is that the aliens are made out of grape soda, making the gore PG and safe for children ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Despite not having the most interesting story, the world building in Selaco is fun. Despite never finding out what the hell the aliens even are (I like to think Aliens that studied people for a while and grape soda as well), the lore of humanity is kind of cool and I would give it a shot. 1 last note, there are Roombas that vacuum stuff up and you can pet them too. There's a mod that gives them a knife which is also great.

I think this might be the best game I have ever played and its only in early access but the road map is so juicy it makes my mouth water. The gunplay, the constant tension, and the movement are all incredible on their own but in tandem, it might be one of those 'you have to experience it to believe it' types of situations. And that doesn't fully express how absolutely amazing the AI (as is NPC AI, not this LLM nonsense) is. Enemies will outmaneuver, outplay, and outthink you. You stop moving, you die. You stop advancing tactically, you die. Cover is your friend, panic is your worst enemy. You have to be quick on your feet and even quicker in your moment to moment decision making, which relies heavily on making full use of your entire tactical arsenal. At all times. The game is so edge of your seat action (especially on higher difficulties), I would almost call it anxiety inducing except you have absolute agency. Every problem can be solved, every fight won, every boss laid low, every secret found. It is just up to you to come up with your own flavor of asymmetric tactics to savor victory. Building on that, the difficulty options are amazing, there is something for everyone. And after beating the existing campaign, I can guarantee you will want to go again, just with more. And new game plus gives you just that. NG+ campaigns have the option for mutators that make the same experience completely different. All in all a 10/10 game. I can barely wait for chapter 2.

Selaco drips with passion, and it shows immediately. In short: Selaco is absolutely thrilling and insanely fun. Selaco isn’t just a great retro FPS. It’s a masterclass in craftsmanship, a love letter to FPS gaming, and a modern evolution of the genre. What the Developers are doing with GZDoom is nothing short of technical artistry: This isn’t “cheap retro”, it’s high-density pixel art, crafted frame by frame. 2D sprites in a fully 3D space, with dynamic lighting, reflections, particles, and destructible environments, true 3D pixel art. Every wall, every screen, every piece of scenery is over-detailed, readable, and coherent. Nothing is there by chance. Selaco pushes the engine GZDoom to levels no one imagined possible: Ultra-smooth, fluid animations Interactive, immersive environments Aggressive, believable AI Surgical, precise sound design. You can feel the devotion of the Devs: They completely master GZDoom They love old-school FPS, but hold it to modern standards They take the time to craft every detail. One of the best indie FPS I’ve played in years. Massive respect to the team. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Thank you so much Altered Orbit Studios !
