I could just leave it at that, since that's what the game is, but I suppose I'll expand a little. The game's a rhythm-FPS, based on Doom 2016's style. You get bonus damage and other perks from shooting on the beat as you kill demons, working your way through hell. The system works pretty great, and I had a blast basically the whole way through. The game design is mostly simplified, since players will be focusing on the rhythm rather than other things while playing, and levels are linear so that you're always running into new demons to keep the beat. It's to the game's benefit, I think. The game's not super long (8 levels, plus 24 challenges that give perks, of which I did around half), and it never gets old. The music isn't exactly my style - I'm a big metal fan, but I don't like screaming/growling, which most of the songs contained, though some of the songs also had a non-screaming singer (usually a woman), and a couple had no screaming. Despite that, it fit the game perfectly, and I enjoyed its accompaniment quite a bit. Probably the main weakness of the game is the weapons. You only get 6 of them, and while most of them are solid, particularly the double pistols which fit the rhythm perfectly when firing and reloading, a couple (the shotgun and the crossbow) felt super weird to use rhythmically. Also, reloading uses the keyboard, and I had a bit of trouble with timing the reloads right. Kinda wish they'd figured out a way to do that and the game's glory kill equivalent with the mouse. The boss variety is kinda non-existent too - 7 of the game's 8 bosses have the same design, and while they aren't exactly the same fight, some of their patterns are similar. The game looks fantastic otherwise, so it's a bit of a shame we didn't get more variety there. It didn't hurt the game much though, and I still had fun all the way through. Makes me interested in trying something like BPM... Next game hint: a roguelike sequel that's better than the original in every way, but I still didn't like it as much (2022) --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>MacArrowny posted [p:970839668] in Mac Ranks ...
