Supplice

Хочу начать это ревью ссылаясь на обзор другого человека - Цитата из одного негативного обзора: " Построение уровней на таком же отвратительном уровне, как в Doom2 и его дополнениях. Я понимаю, что это игра ретро и все такое, но можно было бы сделать нормальные уровни, а не лабиринты " Вообщем, что я хочу сказать? Я запустил игру, да, в глаза сразу бросается простой стиль UI GZDOOM, но как только запускаешь первый эпизод, это становится не таким уж и важным. Что было хорошего в Doom 2, и что делает эту игру такой же хорошей? Именно геометрия уровней, геометрия и дизайн уровней. Это ретро шутер, а значит, игра такого жанра должна брать, если не графикой, и какими то сверхвозможностями 21 века, то заинтересовывать именно стилистикой, дизайном, и геометрией уровней. Вот, запускаешь первый эпизод, с сразу понимаешь, что автор не просто продумывал уровни. Он продумывал их до мелочей. На первом уровне геометрия в несколько этажей, секреты, выключатели, карточки, и все это с кучей врагов. Несомненно, чуть чуть пошевелить головой придется, но, однако, даже с учетом того, что я страдаю " топографическим кретинизмом ", разобраться в построении уровня можно, это не требует от вас сложных действий, однако заставляет включить мозг. Что еще нужно тут добавить? Я ни слова не сказал про пушки, зоопарки, паверапы или что то такое, а зачем? Это и так все должно быть понятно. Это убермодификация на GZDOOM, и этим все сказано, при чем модификация очень качественная, что за нее не жалко отдать деньги. На данный момент в игре целых 4 эпизода ( А теперь представьте что в каждом есть по нескольку уровней по которым придется долго и с интересом шариться ). Через 2 - 3 месяца, парнишка, что делает игру, обещает полный релиз, и последний 5й эпизод. Вообщем то, игра была в Раннем Доступе с 2023 года. Что можно сказать? Разраб молодец, что дотащил игру до релиза. Поддержите его зеленой бумажкой.

Oh man, why isn’t this one more well known? At the time of writing, there are only four episodes available, with two more apparently on the way, and I honestly can’t wait for the rest. This is built on GZDoom, but it’s more than just a Doom total conversion. There is a story here, something about AI, and all that good sci-fi stuff. I mostly mashed through the story bits because I just wanted to blast things, but it is there, and it’s mainly presented through terminals. At its core, this is a boomer shooter running on GZDoom, and it absolutely delivers. The weapons are really fun, the shooting feels great, and the level design is excellent. You are constantly unlocking shortcuts that make backtracking smoother, and there are loads of secrets with meaningful permanent upgrades. Episodes don't have many levels but each one is large. The guns are a highlight. It has a great shotgun pair, the combat feels satisfying, most of the enemies are fun to fight, and the bosses are pretty good too. Each episode adds something new to the experience. I did find Episode 4 a bit weaker than the others, mostly because the theme and environments didn’t really grab me, but it still wasn’t bad. One odd issue I had was with the story terminals. If I left them open for too long, they caused a really aggressive sort of “burn-in” effect on my monitor. I could still see the text stuck on the screen for a while after leaving the game, even after turning off the monitor and computer and coming back later. It happened twice, but thankfully it faded in the end. I fixed it by running the game through Gamescope and capping the FPS. Anyway, if you enjoy Doom-likes, you will very likely enjoy this. It deserves way more attention.

This is a U/GZ Doom Total conversion with BlackJack and Hookers. The only real problem is that the BTSX pedigree for big well made mazish doom levels hits a problem when your automap doesn't display them in a way that's very understandable. Before final release they need to get with Nash or the Selaco devs and get some sort of 3D automap merged into UZDoom. As a UZdoom sicko I can figure it out, but some stuff genuinely would take a new player a bit to figure out.

Very nice oldschool shooter!!! I love it!

It's a tense, lonely ride, that handles like an instant genre classic from the jump. Incredible level design, insane soundtrack, arguably the best arsenal in boom shooting, banger set piece encounters around seemingly every corner, etc.

Muy muy recomendable. Un boomer shooter moderno, frenético, visualmente impresionante, que requiere que pienses en los problemas que te presenta, buscar una salida, matar a x enemigos, los niveles son satisfactorios, de media hora cada uno aproximadamente, te familiarizarás con ellos fácilmente y se disfruta mucho enfrentarte a situaciones desesperadas al principio y luego notarte mejorar mientras adquieres nuevo equipo. El menu de gzdoom puede ser muy pesado a veces, y el guardar y cargar es increíblemente arcaico. No estarían mal algunas mejoras de calidad de vida, o quizá logros para manejar tu progreso, quizá bebiendo un poco de Selaco. En cualquier caso, estando aún en early access en muy comprensible y tengo muchas muchas ganas de ver hasta donde puede llegar este juego. Se nota que está hecho por profesionales de los mods del doom como dice la página de la tienda (aunque a veces va regular en mi ordenador). La historia es la típica de un juego con ambientación sci-fi de este estilo, pero expandida, desarrollada, y francamente mucho más interesante de lo que esperaba (se notan mucho las inspiraciones con el Marathon la verdad), ese tono anti-corporativo que a veces hay o los logs de conversaciones privadas o intercambios en redes sociales te hace sentir una cercanía al mundo que yo agradezco mucho. Por supuesto con una saludable dosis de IAs sacasticas.

The levels are interesting, if overlong. The lore is very well written. The music is REALLY good for a boom-shoot. You can really tell there's a lot of passion behind this from a lot of experienced doom modders. The weapons are just OK, the monsters as well, and they love dropping a ton of monsters behind you from a monster closet. IMO, the first episode was the most fun, and the design / drive to play suffered after that. I probably won't finish Supplice, as much as I want to. Solid experience, but if you're not already a boomer shooter fan, this probably isn't going to be the one to change your mind. Love doom mods and wanna support a passion project? Then it's worth the money.

I recommend this game but it's a tricky recommendation. This is definitely not a bingeable game; it gets old after a while inherently and you come back to it. I can't find myself lasting more than about two hours at a time before I've had enough and I'm ready to do something else. Fundamentally, it's a Doom mod with Slaughter-style enemy counts, and the levels are very sophisticated puzzle boxes that progressively open up, but man, it's easy to get lost. The objective marker on the map provides the most essential way to stay on the rails, but they need to be more frequently updated; embedded within that marker is the context around the other things you'd need to do to get on the other side of a locked door that's in front of it. There's a very limited armory and bestiary, and the guns feel good, but it gets old. There's not a ton of incentive to switch between weapons based on what's best for who is in front of you - it's mostly spray-and-pray, and it's quite easy to run out of ammo although more isn't far away. My main piece of advice would be to turn the music way down; it's epic prog metal, but it's like one 6 minute song per ~70 minute level and that gets old FAST. So setting it to like 10% will seriously raise your tolerance threshold for long-term play. And I would seriously recommend that they do an editing pass on all the terminal text before 1.0 launch - it is SO SO tedious and I almost never end up reading them. I'm sure the writing is great but they've presented it in the most uncompelling way possible. I'm up to the start of Episode 4 now and it was only towards the end of Episode 3 where they may have been some crucial progression information that I missed by clicking through the endless walls of text - I just did one that was 17 pages, that's ridiculous! So yeah, this game is flawed. It delivers on the fundamentals but there's a few things you have to tolerate. Reminds me a lot of Ion Fury.

Great boomshoot, familiar and different with a great story wrapped up in there. Any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are minor, and sometimes it's easy to get lost in the architecture, but if you're used to Doom's esoteric map design you'll feel at home here. Awaiting chapter 5 with great anticipation.

I am loving this, thankyou. As an old gamer, the Doom similarites are fantastic. Maps are well crafted and lengthy. Plently of spaces to hide and attack at advantage when a horde comes at you. Reminds me of classic top 100 wads. Take it fast or slow, it's up to the player.
