Is just gud fun. hope nothing bad happens to the main character.

J'ai pas du tout aimé, on tourne en rond pour rien tout le temps.

Good game

I like this game despite the massive room for improvement. Once in awhile I ask myself I 'really' like boomer shooters, because IMO it's become the most oversaturated indie genre. With a majority of entries playing and feeling exactly the same. Occasionally you get a unique one. This one has you chaining between melee and guns, because ammo is scarce and you get health back from ripped apart bodies. However, it feels too scarce at times and your room for creative play isn't as wide as you think. Cool ideas, but it's not the most mechanically deep. Gun balancing is weird. Plasma blasters being an automatic weapon that quickly drains energy cells one by one makes sense. Your starting handgun using ten cells per shot, not so much. I'm not saying the scarcity is bad, but it take some players to get used to especially with how generous so many boomer shooters have been with ammo recently. The level design starts strong, but falls apart near the end. Viscerafest runs into the problem most of these kind of games do. Where the final chapter is annoying, bloated, and boring with how confusing the massive maze-like levels are and trying to test ideas that don't work smoothly. It would've really benefitted having it's runtime cutdown by one or two hours. Still, it's trying to do something aside from gunning down dozens of dudes. With a story that's starts comedic and dives into cosmic horror in the end, which I've always been a fan of. Get this during a sale like me, because if not the negatives might leave a more sour aftertaste.

Viscerafest is an interesting spin on the “Boomer-shooter” genre that puts speed, bunny-hopping and melee combat into focus. While the game offers many great and fun guns, ammo is a bit more limited compared to other first-person-shooters so that melee has to be used regularly. There are also enemies that are more effectively beaten with a charged fist-strike than with guns. The game also highly encourages the player to bunny-hop because it not only makes the player much faster but it also halves incoming damage. This certainly isn’t for everyone because it makes combat a lot more hectic but it develops its own unique dynamic through the course of the game. Two more some player types might have with the game are the high difficulty and the limited save system. The game only saves between levels and at rare fixed checkpoints in missions. There are collectibles that offer additional, free saves though - but they are limited. Luckily, there are also tons of settings and ingame modifiers that can alter the experience. The modifiers can be bought in an ingame-shop for collectibles that are scattered across the levels. Most of them are a reference to popular first-person-shooter franchises like the Call of Duty modifier that lets you regenerate health automatically. These modifiers are great to tailor the experience to individual needs. But that is not all that Viserafest does right. The striking pixel art style is colorful, bloody and overall very cool. The level design is clever and versatile. There are a healthy amount of different enemy types and the encounters are well crafted. The boss fights are at least okay, but I am rarely a fan of super bullet spongy enemies in first-person-shooters. The game also offers some cool looking cutscenes with a quite weird story line. And with around eight hours of content plus replay-value thanks to all the modifiers this is very good value for the asking price. The only thing that seriously got on my nerves were the box pushing puzzles in some levels. Not fun!
