DOOM but speedrunning focused

i went from never having played the game to top 37 on the world leaderboard for level 1 in 48 minutes

DOOM speedrunner

It's a nice game, not really like Doom, it's speedrunning focused, and you unlock more levels as you go along, but the developers were smart in providing you with the liberties of continuing the game by just playing through each level and getting any medal in order to unlock even more levels and eventually reach the end. If you're just trying to complete it is not that long, but there's a lot of replayability, and I frankly prefer it this way, had they conditioned the progress to getting the best times or something it wouldn't have been as fun.

I really enjoy playing this game, but there are so many different mechanics you need to remember to progress you quickly forgot all the "special" ways you need to defeat all enemies. If all it was is "kill x enemy with y weapon" Or like already existing "shoot the red barrel to make the enemy vulnerable" and not "360 shoot the barrel and then kill the enemy" it would be more enjoyable. Seeing the levels are fairly quick it does make it enjoyable when I dont have long for downtime. id still give it the thumbs up but I'm more neutral.

Exceptional game, tbh. Never played something like this. Dynamic and bloody Doom shooting with movement-based speedrun gameplay This game has all the things to be perfect. But honestly, it MUST be in each speedrun game to make it playable for me: + Immediate restart. Do 2s delay or load between restarts and you can just trash your product. Here is just zero irritation with expectations + Ghost with your best time + Short levels. It's so fun to grind same level to achieve -10ms, and grinding 5-20sec segments gives the feeling that you progress each minute. I hate rerunning something for a long time, even if it takes just a few minutes + Complex movement. The most important part to add deepness to the game. [b]You move faster while jump[/b], but can't change angle. [b]You get acceleration when sliding[/b]. So for the best time you must find optimal route: best spots to jump, best spots to jump+slide. + Leaderboards. It works only with point above, coz hard-to-master movement makes it possible to achieve VERY wide range of score including milliseconds There are also some other nice things which wasn't mandatory, but makes game even better: + Each level has 5 difficulties which makes route optimization really interesting and impactful. You did EASY for diamond, but still have a reason to optimize something for future NIGHTMARE + Different weapons for different enemies adds some space for improving your results + Slow-mo and tons of helper settings (wide timelimits, no-reload, aim-assist) makes this game available for caual players as a GREAT gateway + Level editor potentially adds tons of hours, but only if community will rise (check point above) About cons, I can't really find anything important, but still: - Looking for scull is required for 100%, but it's fun only once per level. Moving sculls to other parts of the level for each of 5 difficulties makes requirement to run +1 time each level not just once, but 5 times. And it's not fun, not dynamic - Tutorial popups are blocking GUI for too long, idk why - GUI is bad, similar interfaces without reason, like, LEVEL SELECT while you already see levels. No way (or hidden) to switch between chapter without going to main menu. GUI dev definetely had not much experience in it

This game is a lot of fun
