Alright game, play fun. ...With one huge caveat though: your computer must be strong enough to run modern AAA at "high", since this game is also quite demanding on the hardware — don't look at its "boomer shooter" artistic style, it's a proper high-end Unreal Engine 4 title. On its low settings, the game becomes barely playable: even if the combination of low resolution with bad aliasing won't literally make your eyes bleed, then the very next minute you'll discover enemies attacking you from beyond their drawing distance. If you can't run Amid Evil on "high" — I'd rather recommend you put it off until you can. I don't think this game will disappear anytime within the next decade or two; even if somehow it gets delisted from Steam, you should still be able to find it in other places. Once you have a machine beefy enough to run Crysis 2 — then for all means, give this game a try!

Only problem I have with this game is some of the weapons are better than others and there's no downside to only using that weapon I feel like you should be forced to use other weapons and be creative with what you have and not use the same weapon over and over. 8/10

Edit: (I have now completed the base game and am now going to buy the dlc immediately. Totally slackjawed at the final act. WOW.) I finally upgraded and was able to experience this game with RT on full blast. Most incredible retro styled fps I have ever played. The 3rd chapter is incredible, maybe the most beautiful lighting and color palette I have ever seen. The enemy variety is very good, challenging as well. Lengthy, especially if you like to explore for secrets. I have been completely captivated by this game. 11/10. Whispers Edge is your friend.

Amid Evil is a fast-paced, pixelated acid trip laced with gratuitous wizard murder. The atmosphere is like a Jack Kirby sci-fi illustration, projected on a four-dimensional object under a blacklight. And that's not even mentioning that Andrew Hulshult's soundtrack goes hard and never stops. Like the best boom shoots, it finds complexity in its simple gameplay. Each weapon has a function and a purpose. They are unique tools for turning Evil into a fine red mist. As a result, most of the fun comes from learning what weapons are effective in certain circumstances and swapping them out to optimize your gibbitute output. It's a lot like modern DOOM in that respect. No weapon is wasted, no overcharge is useless, no crystal wizard is left un-exploded by a projectile plant. Even The Axe of the Black Labyrinth plays a heavy role in higher difficulties. Every level is unique, carrying its own set of enemies. Most of them are slight re-skins (especially the flying enemies), but they bring enough of a unique twist to every setting. Sometimes, you'll lean heavily on the staff that shoots planets; other times, you'll use your lighting trident to exploit its chain-lighting effect on large groups of enemies. Bossfights are creative and sometimes take place in antigravity orbs. There is some annoying platforming in later levels. But if some weird jumps are enough to ruin a game for you, you probably don't like shooters. I grew up on Turok, so it barely phases me. But besides that, every level is a slam dunk. It does a great job of telegraphing where to go and how to get to your objectives. I never felt like I was wandering in circles, wishing for a top-down map like I'm on an Apple II or something. Amid Evil excels beyond its inspiration, creating an identity as the perfect example of how to stick it to the AAA industry. There is no leveling, crafting, gimmicks, or expository cutscenes. This is a video game in the purest sense. You boot it up and kick ass right out of the gate. That's about as clean and straightforward as you can get. I hope they make another one—or at least a level editor—so I can keep making Amid Evil until this mid-life crisis runs its course.
