THE CURE

Completely unplayable regardless of which mouse or mouse settings I used. Might work for you, but it didn't work for me.

THE CURE is an asset/template flip made with the godawful Raycasting Game Maker engine used to generate cheap ripoffs of Wolfenstein 3D. Gameplay consists of simple single plane FPS shooting sprite based enemies on small 2D levels, just like Wolf3D. It's been dumped on Steam by LTZInc, the famous Russian asset flipper, wearing a false moustache and using shell accounts to hide his identity. Make no mistake, this is a fake game, shovelware dumped on Steam in the hopes of scamming gamers for a few roubles. The Raycasting Game Maker engine is garbage. It has oversensitive mouse settings, so if you use the mouse to steer, you will just flip around endlessly with zero control. However, you must use the mouse to shoot, so the game is effectively unplayable. This is no different from any other game made with this engine. It's garbage. Also, like every other Raycasting Game Maker asset flip, resolution and controls are locked and can't be changed, and the graphics horrible, low resolution "pixel" trash. It's pure trash, and while the intent of the construction kit was to make small games to pass around with friends, and to teach some aspects of game making, unethical developers will dump the games on Steam as cash grabs. Like THE CURE. I used to think things like GameMaker Studio and RPG Maker were the worse game construction kits for allowing talentless "developers" to make "games". Actually, they still are, no matter how bad or unplayable this trash is. Regardless, you can play Wolf3D for free, and it's better than this. So, should you buy this fake game/asset flip? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? THE CURE is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the unethical nature of the developer, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. Remember if you buy a game from an unethical developer like this, you're putting your money at risk.

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]
