So I did pirate the game because of the memes and some clips I did see.

Jesus fuck!
I literally feel sorry for people who did buy this trash.

After you enter the forbidden temple of knowledge or what was that shit you quit the game.

The game play is peak retarded.
It literally does not understand the 90s shooters it tries to mimic.

The worst offender is the temple or whatever when the lights go dark or red.

>Herp derp you need to clear this area before this magic red barrier vanishes herp derp!

Jesus fuck imagine running around a badly lit dark gigantic same looking generic 40k Gothic architecture trying to find every retarded enemy to shoot.

Like this is objectively not fun.
The old shooters(Duke 3D and DOOM) literally let you skip all normal enemies like you can run to finish the level and ignore them.

Here imagine needing to kill every last retarded enemy is simply boring.

Also the maps look practically identical it is the same Gothic crap and the enemies are very hard to see except the demons same gray cultists who die in 1 shot.

The only color are the demons however the demons literally turn into a special effect firework since they spam their magic and you are shooting in the direction of the fireworks and kill the enemies this way.

This get bonging very VERY fast.
Also the game does not understand the key system of these old games. Basically the keys and doers for them are next to one another. Negating any back tracking not to mention that it would be torture since it is the same retarded Gothic map that looks identical.

Thank god there is a auto navigation to the next point that you can use.

Also unlike in old shooters the doors are not really marked or obvious that
>YOU NEED THE RED KEY

One time the blue door was literally purple.
Not a big problem since you spam the N key at this point.

1/2

>>714962136 (OP)

However the need to clear another retarded gigantic Gothic cathedral room broke me since I do not want to run around the same architecture to find cultists to kill.

The killing gets very boring. What even is the strategy here?

Use heavy boltar only to kill bosses? Or whatever these bird enhanced flame shooting shits are?

Anyone feel the same? Remember to pirate it before you buy it. The Le "Boomer shooters" are retarded

Yeah I bounced out at that exact same point, anon. The devs really thought โ€œwhat if we make every corridor the same, then force players to play hide and seek with cultists in a maze with no lighting?โ€ and called it gameplay. Absolute brainrot. The bolter is cool for like the first 10 minutes until you realize the entire combat loop is "sprint > shoot glow > repeat.โ€

And don't even get me started on the โ€œbossesโ€ where it's just a normal enemy but this time they screech louder and eat half your ammo pool. Real engaging stuff, lmao.

Boomer shooter my ass, this is a walking simulator with extra whining noises and 2006 edgelord shader filters. Shoulda been a mod, not a full-priced game.

Feels like they saw GZDoom mods and said โ€œYeah letโ€™s do that but worse.โ€

I have no idea WTF this game even is supposed to be.

What classic shooter did lock you in a gigantic room that looks identical and told you to kill all the enemies to progress.

Like when was this a thing? And after the 3 time they did it I did give up.

I do not even think this is a modern thing. It be one thing if they told you to
>Defend X area
And spawn enemies for you to kill. And YES the enemies do SPAWN in in waves in this game.

I have no idea why I should run around a dark identical room and basically shooting at pixels that are supposed to be enemies.

Also the game looks the same
1 = Snow outside and small le imperial outpost
2 = snow and big imperial outpost
3 = 40K Gothic cathedral (identical colors to the outpost)
4 = 40K Gothic cathedral
5 = 40K Gothic cathedral

Like some verity?

I don't think I got to the temple or whatever, but I probably played for an hour at least. couldn't agree more that most of the boomer shooter revival has sucked. they ape the visuals, but don't really understand the vibe older games were going for. there was a vision besides

At this point I am spamming T I have no idea if it does anything or if it summons the retarded trash monsters who are on the other side of the map.

Thats objectively not true, btw. There are many levels that require monsters to be cleared.

In all fairness, there's a fair bit of the yellow paint in the game, but weirdly it seems to become less frequent before vanishing entirely in the later half of the game.

Hmmm I remember it being fun and...
Did you need to kill them all? Was it not time based....???
Either way that map was fun unlike the shit in boltgun. Look how small this classic map is VS the fucken walking around simulator of boltgun.

I'm not a fan of boomer shooters, I also pirated it, game was a 7/10, fun game, fun gameplay, my biggest complaint was the music, it should've been a lot more metal and brutal which used to fit warhammer quite well in the early games and fit well in og doom.

Yeah, it was pretty shit. I prefer games like Dusk or Cultic that show clear love for old shooters rather than "uhhhh if we make all enemies flat sprites and all textures low res it will be... retro, right???"
Extra insulting is how the retards used Unreal Engine FOR NO FUCKING REASON when they could've just used Unity AND had no idea how to optimise a unreal game properly, so you have this generic "boomer shooter" with flat sprites and low res textures that ALSO stutters and drops frames. Comedic.

The resurgence of retro-style FPS games quickly began to deteriorate because of people who don't understand the spirit of old games. You'll find more gameplay complexity and challenge in Doom 2 megawads (even the totally vanilla ones) than in most games released recently.
A lot of these games also never decided if they really wanted to be retro, or if they wanted to poorly emulate the already poor gameplay of Doom 2016. Games like Prodeus and Postal Brain Damaged are two good examples that seem to want to draw inspiration from older games, but all they offer is a useless and worse version of Doom 2016.

Funny how no doom or duke or even Postal 2 did have this problem!

If these retards did use Postal 2 models it be far better.
