ULTRAKILL
ULTRAKILL is a pretty cool robot, eh kills demons and doesn’t afraid of anything.
Edit: I call this webm “SHINING SPEAAAAAARRRRRR”

––The Gameplay—-
See that trailer? That’s the sort of action you’re going to be pulling off when you get used to the flow of the game.
ULTRAKILL is made by a developer who knows his audience, and his gameplay design choices show it. In this early access build, you have an arsenal of five different guns with two or more alternate versions which you can carry all at once, and two different fists. They all have their unique uses. My favorite guns are the Marksman Revolver (which allows you to pull off a skillshot by hitting an airborne coin) and the Pump Charge Shotgun (which allows you to charge up the power of your shotgun and makes you explode if you overcharge, wiping out enemies around you). The variety of this game lends to the player being encouraged to swap weapons frequently to avoid the animations and fire guns faster.

Absolutely one of the best FPS available right now. My personal favorite.
Taking influences from legendary games like DMC and Quake is a big deal and I thought that there is absolutely no way that someone can deliver that as a solo dev.
The game somehow manages to do that very competently. Quake influences are very obvious with a really amazing and skill expressive movement system that lets you build up insane amounts of speed and gives you even more freedom than Quake to zoom around the map, and a really smart take on the ID arsenal that I think gets overlooked when talking about this game. For example the classic way a railgun type weapon is handled in ID games is giving it a smallish cooldown while making it pretty strong. ULTRAKILL amps it to 11 and gives it about 10 (?) seconds of downtime and makes it BLAST. Every weapon is some sort of a variation of an ID arsenal counterpart, but amped to a crazy degree to allow for more skill and creativity expression and prompt actual gameplay choices on how to tackle every situation.

Nightmare Reaper
EDIT: Episode 2 released, and it’s more insane than before, imo. Love it.
My thoughts?
This game is what would happen if B.J Blazkowicz dropped acid and ended up in a twisted Army of Darkness version of Might & Magic, then throw in some of that looter shooter goodness and you’ll have a good idea of the fun that awaits with this game.
The levels all flow nicely into each other despite being randomly generated from presets, and you’d be a bit hard pressed to tell it is at times as a result. All the weapons so far are a joy to use, all of them feeling pretty great, not to mention all of them work in a pinch if you run out of ammo for one of them. The spritework is impressive, as is the gore system (I had it set to Ludicrious and man does it live up to the name).

This is an utterly fantastic game. The heritage of the old boomer-shooters like Doom, Blood, Rise of the Triad and the like are present without being too much of a complete clone of those legends but this is a solid homage to those games from the past.
The art design has gone through a couple of overhauls, the most recent being the release with chapter two, so if you had seen earlier gameplay footage the looks have changed to not be overwhelming in the color department. (RIP Hula dancer zombie).

Dread Templar
(Don’t Fear) The Templar
It took playing the recent Quake remaster, but now I get it.
It’s good. Nay, ace. No doubt about it. If it wasn’t up against the stiff competition that is the years upon years of high quality ‘boomer’ shooters, this would be a completely unqualified early access recommendation.
Ultrakill, Ion Fury, Post Void, Project Warlock 1 + II, Amid Evil, DUSK, HROT, Maximum Action, GTTOD, Prodeus, Cultic, etc - be they full games, early access, or just demos, the retro, ‘boomer’ shooter genre really is booming. I also cannot wait for the likes of Into the Pit, Fortune’s Run, and Forgive Me Father. In fact, there are so many that even when I say that I’d place this firmly mid-list it’s not even that damning.

TLDR; If you like retro shooter gameplay, and would like to have fun, buy it now!
I will just start listing what comes to mind, that makes me love this game, then write some experiences from my first 8 hours of playing on the hardest difficulty so far. Smooth movement with air controll using the mouse, running feels similar to classic doom (taking a short time to reach full speed), satisfying meaty gun sounds and very good feedback with lots of gore, build variety that actually changes gameplay, bullet time, stylish awesome visuals, amazing soundtrack, atmosphere, very good enemy and level design, exploration with rewarding secrets to find, weapon swapping combos combined with positioning during combat.

GOAT OF DUTY
Goat of Duty
This is an FPS game where we control the goat and our goal is always to kill our opponents. After each match, we get experience points that help us to get higher level. Every few levels we get new clothes for our goat.
In the game we have several game modes such as FFA, Team Deathmatch or Guns DM, in which every 2 killings with a given weapon we get new weapons. In addition, we have 9 different maps. There are different weapons on the maps as well as first aid.
What’s interesting is that the game offers us the possibility of pretending to die so we can confuse the opponent who will think that we are dead. It is quite interesting mechanics and definitely makes the game more interesting.In addition, since we play the goat, we can also charge our opponent to kill.

Absolute gem. If you enjoy shooters like Quake, Unreal Tournament, or whatever, you will love this game. It’s like a more basic AFPS so noobs can have fun but still retains a massive skill ceiling. Talented shooters can jump in and frag up a storm after learning the basic mechanics so I highly recommend this for any FPS junkie.
If you like goats, buy it.
If you like shooting, buy it.
If you really don’t want to spend $5, buy it anyway.
This game has an active player base. There are always player-made matches online and people looking to join games if you wish to host your own match. There is also a Offline with Bots option for anyone wanting to play the game on bad internet or just by themselves.

Flashing Lights - Police, Firefighting, Emergency Services Simulator
I’m sorry, I really want to like this game, but if I gave it a thumbs-up, it would be for the concept and not the implementation and that’s not fair to people who are considering whether or not to purchase it.
To the dev(s): I like where you’re coming from and where you’re going with this. I hope you keep persevering and turn my opinion around. There’s an ENORMOUS amount of potential here. However, it’s plagued by issues (not just pre-release bugs) that make me question whether it has what it takes to pull off a successful release.

I wanted to review FL sooner, but I also wanted to feel this game out first. I’m a simulation “expert” in that I’ve played almost every simulator game that has come out. There were some I purposely ignored for looking terrible, however. The emergency simulation genre has been struggling for a while. You have sh*tty developers and publishers pushing out games that make you want to burn the game itself so no one else ever has to experience it. Speaking of burn, I’ve been burned by these devs and publishers a lot - specifically Excalibur. They are notorious for backing garbage games. I used to be a moderator for Enforcer and had high hopes for it. Boyyyyyyyy was everyone, myself included, mislead.

Zompiercer
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Game is more than a year in Early Acces AND ISN’T FINISHED - It’s a bit longer DEMO version.
Zompiercer is something new. I really, really like this game and the Idea in general but there is always a “but” and here is what i think :
You can find money in the Fridge or Gas Stove and ammo in the childs room or in the book shelf. Why there is no variation between those shelves ?
Zombies are awesome (6 types of them) and smashing them with Baseball bat is a great bonus.
– Real player with 38.7 hrs in game
Alright, I think I’ve played this game enough to give it a fair review now.
Firstly, an overview. Zompiercer is a zombie survival game very reminiscent of DayZ, where the main gimmick of the game is you live on and operate out of a train. You have to manage health, hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and the rather infamous stamina (I’ll address this in a bit). You can move around the world from town to town parking your train and looting a town full of food, water, medicine, weapons, ammo, and of course, zombies.

AGAINST
‘AGAINST’ is a rhythmic journey through crime-ridden streets and their phantasmagoric seamy side.
Dodge obstacles, run up walls - all the while picking off your enemies as the pounding music builds. Use your mind and muscle memory to banish evil and find answers.
Fierce songs combined with rhythmic combat with a gritty comics aesthetic make for a truly unique experience.
Detective Got a Gun
Slice the henchmen with your sword and mow them down with your gun - but do it rhythmically for points and pleasure. Throwing blades, brass knuckles and a whip will complement your arsenal.
Dark Comic-Style Graphics
We’ve paid loving attention to the dark and gritty comic book style. Set in 1930s America, the story of Dr. Vice’s terrifying ambitions is revealed through comic book cutscenes full of dimmed colors and frightening shadows.
Deadly Enemies and Dreadful Bosses
Dispatch villains to the beat as you make progress in the investigation. At the end of each chapter, take on the boss in sync with a musical climax.
Diverse Levels, Intriguing Narrative
Finish a complete storyline about the confrontation of Detective and Dr. Vice in 7 levels, all available in 3 difficulties. The chapters are set in different locations, each with its own unique touch.
Cube Conflict
Cube Conflict is a free and open-source FPS where smileys are at war without mercy.
-
20 weapons from the most rotten to the most cheated!
-
15 stupid classes to play, from the kamikaze to the junkie or the ninja!
-
6 themed maps, from the moon with reduced gravity to the volcano and its molten lava
-
Dozens of possibilities to customize your avatar with capes, graves, smileys, etc.
-
100% free, all skins can be unlocked while playing!
Weapons you said?
Little guns are for kiddies. Nothing like a portable GAU-8, a little bit of atomic bomb, and a rocket minigun!
Class system
Doctor, Soldier? For newbies. No doubt you would rather be a Kamikaze to blow yourself up and kill all the enemies around you or even a wizard to cast magic spells!
Useful(?) items
Ok, you can die fast, but you should be able to escape death with one power armor and multiple drugs!
Maps (for real!)
Incredible there are maps on this game! So, everyone knows rocket jump right? Well, try it on the moon.
A lot of skins
You can look like a badass… or an idiot. But mostly an idiot. Since you’re gonna die (a lot) we added different graves! Like a nice poop for the noobs and gold ingots for the richest players.

After watching the trailer I wasn’t sure about purchasing this game right at the release. I couldn’t really tell if it was an open world survival game or a small linear style game. Also I couldn’t find any videos online from gamer’s reviewing it. I gave it a shot and really liked it so far. It is more of a open world game. It feels very much like a winter STALKER atmosphere. There is a Story mode which isn’t available yet which I’m looking forward to checking out. From what I’ve seen so far this looks really good. Here’s a link to my review on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IDEgdqiO-o
– Real player with 2.2 hrs in game
So, let me start off by saying that I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Series. This is what lead to me giving this game my $10. The atmosphere of the game is good, not great, but I like it enough to preface it. The gun-play feels solid, lowish recoil and high damage as a gun should be. It is the ultimate equalizer after all. The game features a low but diverse cast of weapons like the AK74M, the AKS-74U, the 9x18 Makarov, a strange looking shotgun that reminds me of a Winchester Model 1200, I believe a Mosin-Nagant as I found 7.62x54r ammo on a soldier but haven’t actually seen the rifle, and finally a crowbar. (And to the people that will comment saying “It’S aN aK, iT hAs HiGh ReCoIl”, both variations of the AK Platform in this game run off of 5.45x39 ammunition, which is functionally similar to the 5.56 NATO cartridge, resulting in similar recoil. So get f*cked nerd)

Demon Blast
Introduction
As I absolutely adore the DOOM series and similar titles, Demon Blast naturally caught my eye on Steam’s Store Page immediately. Its colourful, cartoonish art style, along with the promise of killing hordes of demons, was enough for me to give it a try, despite it being in the Early Access. The harsh reality is that this game is unfinished and clunky to play, as you would expect from the Early Access. However, the promised updates are still not released, which is why I finally decided to write a review, as the game’s current content does not offer enough to justify its price for me.
