This is hard, like both hard in difficulty and hard to recommend. It's actually way more tactical and slow than the videos or screenshots might seem, because you can die extremely easy and fast while not having that many movement options, although the pills with different effects make things more interesting. This isn't bad, it can be pretty fun, but GOD are the enemies erratic and placement is just BRUTAL, so many around corners with guns that one-shot you. It doesn't help that the animations of their melee attacks are too weird and bigger than they look. Also this is a try and retry kind of game, but the loading within each death + reset of the music it's annoying. All of this add up really, it is satisfying to beat the levels but at some point the amount frustration of some of them doesn't make them feel rewarding. But I said too many bad things, I think it's easy to tell what are the good ones, the game looks gorgeous, the level designs, the visual effects, the reflections, they all look so good, and with the gore effects when killing enemies it's addictive. Not only that, the music is great, it might repeat songs in some levels but they're so cool I don't mind. It has so many levels, decisions and endings that there's a lot of replay value, a somewhat "free-roam" zone with more levels to find and even mini-games/little challenges to find within missions. I don't know, I really like the premise and base of the gameplay and graphics, but the execution left me with a sour taste, almost making me abandon it. I guess is worth checking out because if you end up liking it, there's a lot to enjoy. Esp: Esto es difícil, o sea en dificultad y para recomendarlo. En realidad es mucho más táctico y lento de lo que parece en los vídeos o capturas, porque puedes morir muy fácil y rápido sin tener muchas opciones de movimiento, aunque las pastillas con diferentes efectos hacen las cosas más interesantes. Esto no es malo, puede ser bastante divertido, pero DIOS los enemigos son tan erráticos y la disposición de estos es simplemente BRUTAL, muchos en esquinas con armas que te matan de una. No ayuda que las animaciones de sus ataques cuerpo a cuerpo sean demasiado raras y más grandes de lo que parecen. También este es un tipo de juego de intentar y reintentar, pero las pantallas de carga entre cada muerte + reinicio de la música es molesto. Todo esto suma realmente, es satisfactorio poder pasarte los niveles, pero en cierto punto la enorme frustración de algunos hace que no se sientan gratificante. Pero he dicho demasiadas cosas malas, creo que es fácil decir cuáles son las buenas, el juego se ve precioso, los diseños de los niveles, los efectos visuales, los reflejos, todo se ve muy bien, y los efectos gore al matar enemigos son adictivos. No solo eso, la música es genial, puede que repita canciones en algunos niveles pero son tan buenos que no importa tanto. Tiene tantos niveles, decisiones y finales que tiene mucho valor de rejugabilidad, una zona algo «free-roam» con más niveles a encontrar e incluso minijuegos/pequeños retos que encontrar dentro de las misiones. No sé, me gusta mucho la premisa y la base del gameplay y los gráficos, pero la ejecución me dejó un sabor agrio, casi haciéndome abandonarlo. Supongo que merece la pena probarlo porque si te acaba gustando, hay mucho que disfrutar.

neckbreak, or project downfall ( previous game title ) it is pretty unique and tries out a lot of things i havent personally seen before. this game looks great, i love how it looks, if you arent a fan of the scan lines, or want to change the blurriness, most of it is customizable in the settings. the combat is what i feel like i can only describe as hotline miami combat, but at the same time neckbreak does enough differently ( and keeps the style and aesthetic ) to be considered separate. ( i rlly like the pill mechanic, which is completely optional, we love ibuprofen ) this is one of the very few games where i have purchased the soundtrack, the music fits the game, i couldnt pick better music to be killing nazis to take your meds and turn ppl into bloody exploded slop and points while ur brain makes fun of u

I got this on Switch back when it was called REDACTED. I was really looking forward to picking it up when I got a PC, but it was no longer listed on Steam. Fortunately, it is finally back and more legally distinct than ever, and you should probably just go ahead and get it. It's perhaps a bit janky, here and there (difficulty spikes, agency and impact on story...) but overall just a fantastic and unique experience. If you like Max Payne, Severed Steel... hell, if you enjoy bullet-time games at all, I think you will dig this one. This is one you might run across looking for "boomer shooters" and while it is decidedly not one of those, I think you will still very much enjoy it if you're on that type of a kick at the moment. I think it'd be great anytime, though. Go get this game and record some clips.

tedious levels, go play hotline miami. I SERIOUSLY WANT TO LOVE THIS GAME, but me personally i find this game to be so annoying and tedious. like holy shit this is a puzzle game not a power fantasy keep that in mind. this game is good, but, u have to keep in mind, this is barely a power fantasy. i come out of every fight feeling like i did homework. i am bored, i respect u dev, but i genuinely dont like this game, but i do reccomend it if its for u.

The... the game longer exists??? Got a name change from Project Downfall to Neckbreak, and was delisted from Steam... Edit: As expected, there's more going on behind the scenes, because the name change was a conscious decision, and the delisting seems to be something on Steam's end since apparently they didn't put it back up yet. Why any of this was done, well I'm not sure. Of course I still support this game, but I hope soon we are finally able to know why this happened since it seems like for right now, that's being kept secret. Due to the confusion mostly cleared up, switching from a negative review to a positive one.
