Terfenstein 3D

Based and IRA pilled. You shoot british terfs and make real life brits be very upset over it. What's not to like?

Look, I'm all for the message of "♥♥♥♥ terfs and the horses they rode in on" but there's so, so much wrong with the game itself to the point where it gave me a headache and I found myself completely disoriented while playing. I do want to bring attention to the gunplay before going into all the bad stuff, though -- good feedback, good sounds, good impact when you shoot an enemy. I didn't play very much but the shotgun has some screen shake when you shoot it. It would also have a passable art style if the resolutions were made consistent and the occlusion issues were fixed but I'll get to that. But then you get into... everything else. -Resolutions are all over the place. Your gun is high-res, wall textures are very low-res, and your HUD is somewhere in between. If the resolutions were consistent then you could very conceivably say this game has a semi-decent art style. -There's horrible occlusion issues. I'm seeing walls disappear in my peripheral (this combined with the aforementioned mixels gave me a headache) and object sprites placed closely together resulted in smaller sprites cutting off bigger sprites. -Sounds don't have any distance. I had an enemy wake up on the other side of the map and it sounded like they were right next to me. -This is supposed to be cloning Wolfenstein 3D top to bottom, but the walls go at angles too wide to be a Wolf3D clone (you could easily overlook this but it bugs me). -Why does your character hold the shotgun against their right shoulder with their left hand? I know eye dominance is a thing that exists IRL but it would make no sense to have that in a super-arcadey game like this is supposed to be. -TOO MANY FAKE DOORS. Fake doors use the same texture and are indented in the wall as much as a regular door. I got lost in the second level for maybe 5 minutes because every single door was fake, and I could only get out when I found a secret (WHY would you ever do this? It was a ♥♥♥♥♥ level design choice when Wolf3D did it and it's still a ♥♥♥♥♥ design choice over 30 years later -- and in the second level??? Hello???). -How is this game so big? 500mb? Even Intrude, which does a much better job of mimicking Wolf3D, is only less than 30mb Again, good message but the execution is pretty bad. I understand this was made by one person but pretty much none of these issues require a massive team to fix. Hell, it's a Java game, so someone smarter than me could fix pretty much everything and compress the game a lot in maybe a week.

Finished the game, had fun, ♥♥♥♥ terfs.

10/10 game. Killing Nazis is always great fun!

Proof that we were wrong all along...misogyny is actually REAL! WTF?!

Bought this game never having heard the term "terf" and not actually reading the store description (just the tags, FPS, Retro, Old School, etc.). I thought it was weird that all the bad guys were girls - and that the dev put a full screen photo of themselves up at the very beginning of the game. The game is basically just Wolfenstein, which I already own, and can be modded. So I got a refund.

Love the concept, hate the final product. No difficulty selector. No option to center the weapons (chaingun especially suffers from this). No save/password system. Movement speed is dreadfully sluggish and therefore makes strafing practically the only option to move at even a decent speed. Death animations on the dogs are slow and make it unclear if they're dead or not which wastes ammo. Most doors are seemingly decorative which makes navigation difficult and discourages exploration unlike Wolf 3D and Doom, which encourage and reward exploration and also don't have decorative doors. Collision detection on health, ammo, armour, key and weapon pickups is garbage, causing me to look back to make sure I didn't miss any pickups (again Wolf 3D and Doom don't have this problem). The sound effects are also kinda trash as well, they just become annoying to listen to. Finally, the amount of enemies is ridiculous to the point where I can go through a door with half health and 75% armour and get shredded by a firing squad in 10-15 seconds. But hey, it's not all bad, the shotgun is punchy and satisfying to use so at least there's that.

An actual review of the game: + Good gunplay, fun map design, and bloody good combat. Bonus points for the good gore and explosion effects. - There seems to be no save option, I accidentally quit mid-playthrough, and had to start over, it's not a long game, but not a feature I like. As for the "message" of the game, if you didn't describe anything, I would not have gotten the references to gender-fascism. It's mostly just dudes running around screaming ala Wolfenstein 3D, so it's not even that heavy handed as a intentionally "political" game. At the end of the day, it's a fun and well made shooter. Not a bad buy for anyone looking for fun five or below game.

So much for the tolerant left... Very fun game in the style of Wolfenstein 3D. My only gripe is that I wish it had a save system or a password system.

It's a boomer shooter with a streak of contemporary shock jock pizzazz. The gameplay is inspired by Wolfenstein, and the music goes from Wolfenstein/Doom into Doom 2016 around the 3rd stage. Honestly, the soundtrack went pretty hard for chiptune cheese metal. While the minigun and pickup detection is a little rickety at times, the shotgun felt very powerful, and I liked that it was weaker at longer ranges and didn't have quite as wide a spread up close as it does in Doom. Thematically, it's very timely. It's meant to shock, but once it has your attention, it's worth taking the time to think about for a second. It's a response to people in the United States saying that they want to 'eradicate transgenderism from public life', which can only mean mass imprisonment and/or mass graves. In a dystopia where that comes to pass, the unnamed protagonist doesn't really have any other recourse but to fight her way out. This last part is me digging way too deep into an indy game meant to garner negative attention, but considering how she handles her weapons with similar competence to the Doom Marine and Agent Blaskowitz, it's reasonable to assume that she has a background in either law enforcement or the armed services. I think that can be another thread of discussion-- despite her service that is superficially lauded by the kind of people who would want to lock her up just for being (presumably) trans or gay (or both), she'd still get the same brutal treatment if the 'eradicate from public life' crowd have their way.
