Great game. If you like retro FPS games and crave something more challenging - check it out.

Dec. 2024

game is very fun but has problems, overall I'd give the game a 6/10 (5/10 being average), I would only recommend it if the below points don't bother you. 1. limited saves, this just isn't fun for this type of shooter, especially because the saves are done through one time use items that must be found and are pretty rare, rather set save points like Dead Space. 2. enemies have no back, in games like Wolfenstein3D (1992) and Ion Fury (2019) the enemy sprites have multiple angles (front back sides), in this game they have one: their front, which makes dodging their attacks more tricky because they essentially have perfect aim tracking as enemies are always facing you, meaning if you are in melee range of an enemy, in their line of fire, and they are about to shoot you, the ONLY way to dodge their shot is to use the I frames the dash gives you, you can't dodge to their left, right, or back, because they have no left, right, or back and attempting so would just put you directly in their line of fire, because you are ALWAYS in the center of their vision. (Edit: The developer has just admitted to me that this problem is actually worse than I thought, rather than the enemies always facing you, their aim can actually rotate independently of their sprites, meaning you have no way of knowing where an enemy is actually aiming because visually, they are always looking at you, but could actually be aiming in any direction.) 3. difficulty, the game is a fair bit harder than other boomer shooters, which wouldn't be a problem if not for the extremely limited saves meaning you will be replaying significant portions of levels every time you die. 4. Weapon balance, some weapons are just outright worse than others, the pistol for example uses 3 times the ammo of the SMGs but doesn't do 3x damage (pistol: 3 ammo for 40dmg, SMG: 1 ammo for 15 damage AKA: 45DMG per 3 ammo) This is compounded by the fact that ammo is a scarce resource that needs to be conserved. (Edit: This is apparently changing in the full release to the SMGs doing 20dmg for 1 ammo and the pistol doing 150dmg for 10 ammo, which you might have noticed does not fix the issue.) 7. Many levels are cramped making using the game's movement difficult. 6. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1406780/eventcomments/597387624656720627/?tscn=1734989672 just to be clear, I consider 6/10 to be a bit above average, I don't follow that "7/10 is a bad game" nonsense that games journalism does.

I love the game. It's a shame it doesn't work for me anymore after one crash in my first play.

I freakin' love this game. I have played through it several times, and there is so much that just makes this game hit all of the right chords. The level design is solid, the movement feels great, and you just feel like a total badass once you master jumping around like a psychopath. Oh, and the train level has absolute fire music! (look it up! Viscerafest C2L6 End of the Line) I think one of my favorite things about Viscerafest is just how much personality the game has. Even quitting the game has a huge selection of quips begging you to not leave. you can start up a new game over and over just to look at the assortment of names they have for each difficulty. Caroline's voice lines pack a lot of punch, and I even like the "big boss" through the voice lines interjected through the levels. I feel that there is so much more to say. and it is all fan-gushing. I adore this game, and I hope you will too!
