Oct. 2024

This is top-tier boomer shooter action with some light puzzling and sprawling level exploration. The backtracking did get a bit annoying at times when I couldn't find what to do, but it takes nothing away from this awesome game. Crystal-punk is a fantasy subgenre I'd never seen before and it's a real fun time, I liked the inversion of orcs as the good guys and elves being terrible villains. The hot orc pixel babes are definitely a bonus.

Sept. 2024

Amazing doom like game and highly recommend for lovers of the genera. The music is my favorite part of it too during the fights.

Aug. 2024

35 hours in and nearing the end of the game. I hope. First things first: this is NOT a boomer shooter. It has boomer shooter elements, but it is not one. There's no boomer shooter that has such massive maps, so much emphasis on platforming and puzzle solving, so much dialogue and story elements. If you go into this game expecting a 1:1 boomer shooter, you are in for disappointment as you find yourself backtracking huge maps looking for the next item that unlocks progress. Hunting for keys and keycards in classic shooters got nothing on this game. That said. I enjoy the game. It has big maps, characterization, very interesting puzzles and challenges, and requires you to think things through to proceed. The first map is probably the worse I've played in any shooter ever: it's long, convoluted, and ultimately boring. But the game slowly gets better, and as you get used to how the game works in relation to standard boomer shooters, it gets more enjoyable. The game's greatest strength is its ambition, which at the same time is its greatest weakness. You have loads of inventory items, but managing so many is very cumbersome, as GZDoom is not designed with this in mind. The maps are huge, but the GZDoom wireframe map is rather useless and you can get lost easily because of how many layers of altitude the maps have. The backtracking can get on your nerves in the larger levels, as it is not always immediately obvious what you need to do to proceed: in a boomer shooter you know encountering a red-locked door means you need a red key/card. In Hedon, it's most likely you need to acquire three other keys before you get the key necessary to unlock this door. Some of the puzzles are obtuse, and you may not be aware you need to solve a puzzle at all. Some of the secrets are far easier to get than knowing how to proceed in the campaign. And the game has far, far too much platforming for my taste, with death pits or otherwise cumbersome "make a 20 second climb and try again" sections that encourage quicksaving. But overall, I recommend it just because of how unique an experience it is. Just remember this is not a boomer shooter but an action-adventure FPS and you'll be good to go.

April 2024

Easily the best level design I've seen in a retro-style game. If you look at the negative reviews, its people who are too coddled by modern games always giving you a linear path and a quest arrow. This game gives you neither. You will explore, you will get lost, you will be confused, and then you'll find the way and feel a real sense of accomplishment, unlike nearly every modern game that robs the player of this struggle and success. I admit, I didn't expect to like a Doom engine game, really not my thing, but this game is just too good. Combat is fantastic too. One of my biggest complaints with modern takes on classic era games is they tend to just go for flash and non stop combat, rather than an interesting pacing. When everything is an explosion, nothing is. This game respects this, and has varied pacing, varied encounters, moments of extreme panic and being overwhelmed by enemies, while other times you are given time to experience the quiet atmosphere of exploration and discovery.

Feb. 2024

I'm not the exact target audience for this game but I can still recommend it after just completing it. Apparently it took me 27 hours! I spent most of my time being confused about where to go and what to do which was frustrating. Despite this it was rewarding to progress through the game and finally finish what is obviously a labor of love. If you want a retro shooter to mindlessly blast your way through you're gonna have a bad time but if you're open to a different kind of doom-engine experience you'll definitely get that.
