A very unique and extremely cheap boomer shooter. The settings and atmosphere is great. The enemy design is good with the exception of 2 enemies. (Jetpack enemies who end up blowing themselves up all the time litteraly while yelling "YOU ARE FKN DEAD" and also the American Football players that move so fast on the screen that it is absurd. Fortunately the latter are only a problem in one level in the game.) The weapons are alright, satisfying rocket launcher. It is also very easy to weapon swap. The weapons are fairly standard, nothing too crazy here. The soundtrack suits the game quite well. The boss fights are intimidating, but not that difficult or complex. This feels a bit like a small budget version of DUSK, albeit with a different atmosphere. Im rating this based on how cheap it is. And taking this into consideration, the game is great. You can't say that it lacks content considering how cheap it is imo. I would say the biggest strength of the game is how unique it feels.

By the standards of cheap games on Steam, Carnal is a proper hidden gem. While the game is downright sadistic, there's clearly intentional design behind its relentless abuse - even if, frankly, I think Carnal is too difficult in its present state. They really live up to the claim of offering an experience that feels lifted directly out of 1996. The aesthetics are outstanding, with crunchy textures and models that do a great job of evoking Quake 2 and Unreal. Not to mention that terrible jokes in the style of Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, etc. are here in abundance.

I wish there was a proper save system. While I recognize that it's deliberate, creating length through intense difficulty and rote memorization is something better off left in the 90s. For fifty cents, though, this is definitely worth checking out. It's a low budget but high effort experience, and while I had trouble getting my mouse sensitivity to feel right - there's no major technical problems. Resolution selection works fine, keys are fully rebindable, you even get a choice of detail / pixelation level labeled in years - which is a cute touch. Even if you're like me and don't have the reflexes to get very far, there's so many enjoyable callbacks that I can't imagine not getting your money's worth out of it.

One of the best "bang for your buck" games I've played in a while, decent old school shooter with banger OST for less than a buck? Count me in!

One of the best games you can get for 1$

CARNAL is a Retro FPS throwback game made in the Unity engine taking a lot of inspiration from games like Quake and Build Engine works. Easily it's most notable aspect is it's price being as stated: a SINGLE dollar and despite that price it actually manages to be a pretty good game. Janky? Yes. Short? Absolutely. But for what you get it's quite impressive and it's all made by mostly one person too!

Gameplay of CARNAL has that classic loop of collecting keys and killing enemies. It's very clear that it's more so aiming for a Quake 1 style with your movement speed being quite quick along with similar archetypes with the weapons such as a shotgun, two types of bullet weapons and energy weapons. One of the more notable things is the use of lives, oddly a lot like Doom Eternal's extra lives as the game doesn't have a quicksave system at all. Simply once your health goes under 0 you get refilled back to 100 and one less live. It's a pretty decent and while I would normally prefer saves, the levels don't usually get that hard where it feels like it's a crutch so it's a non issue at least in normal mode.

For the style, even though CARNAL is a low-poly styled game, a lot of the environments look very visually appealing in a low poly perspective mostly with the more city like environments and locations. Easily showcasing that Build Style of level creation of a realistic-like place that works well as a arena. Shoutouts to the boardwalk carnival level while not just having amazing atmosphere and theming with functional rides but also being a super original idea for a level location. I don't think any other Retro FPS game has don't a location like with the only one that comes to mind being that one level from Blood which this level respectfully references. Also the music is quite good, I'm glad the OST is free to download as there's some pretty good tracks here.

Overall, CARNAL was a pleasant surprise, I really only bought the game cause I was running out of FPS games to buy during the 2022 Summer Sale and I'm 100% glad I did. Really the only big issues I had is it being fairly short, some of the abstract levels aren't as interesting compared to the city-like levels, and while not a issue, the laser gun weapon is wayyyy too powerful. Like you can easily stockpile ammo for the weapon and easily destroy the 3 boss fights in like 3 hits it's completely fine as it's quite hilarious but it was notable enough to point out. But at the end of the day, the game is just 1$ and even cheaper on sale, for whats here I simply just have to recommend for proving a great experience despite exceptions.

I whole heartily hope the dev can get those Carnal Remake issue resolved and continue to make interesting and unique games!

Good soundtrack and I can eat hamburgers from the toilet. Not terribly funny to me, but plays fun. Some patches wouldn't hurt but nothing detrimental is wrong. The bosses are trivial because one of the guns (i forget the name) is overpowered to the point it's funny. Can do way worse for a dollar, and I wouldn't say it's even milquetoast, just barely above it. Glad I played it.

Normally, I'd put over an hour in a game before reviewing.
But this is an indie, and it could use the extra review.

This isn't for everyone.
It feels like a (not the best) Quake TC.
While it's a mechanically complete game, it's incredibly unpolished.
Enemies are attack-on-sight turrets, especially automatic weapon ones, you can glitch through walls, you can get stuck on the ceiling while swimming (idk, don't ask), and the game isn't SUPER clear on where to go.
However, it's kinda fun. The weapons are weak as all hell, but you're showered in ammo, and have a fully unlimited side-arm. Game starves you of health, but gives you just enough extra lives to keep you going. The sounds are WAY too loud, but they're mostly good.
Level settings are varied, and while not THE BEST mapping, it's not bad.

This is going too long, TL;DR Not good, not bad. There's a fun game here, I liked it, but it's unpolished as all hell. God speed.

I like this game's graphical style and level design (at least it's not another 'abstract sci-fi levels' style retro-FPS) and there are many enemy types, but the whole game desperatly needs some polish.

The protagonist's 'pain sound' is atrocious and the controls are sometimes very bad, you have to press jump to go up on a staircase, etc.

The enemies are too small and too silent (and too dumb) and technically they aren't hitscan, but almost.

I understand that the creator of this game wants a life system instead of saving, but the game is way too hard in this way.
At least make possible to lower the difficulty a bit!

A talking protagonist would be also great, ofc you don't have to hire Jon St. John, and you don't have to make a constant talking PC, but a few very rare one liner (at least with the creator's pitch shifted voice) could really make the atmosphere better (something like in Powerslave/Exhumed if you know that game).

However, this game's price is very low (it's almost free), so all I can say it's good for it's price, but with some polishing it could be a great game. It has the potential for it.

At first I wanted to give this game a negative review because it doesn't allow key reconfiguration.

But after going through the discussions and finding out that the dev pro-actively listens to the community, I couldn't do it anymore.

So if you are looking for some cheap fun, you may enjoy this. I mean you can eat a burger from a toilet in this game. Awesome, right?

Full disclaimer: I played a build of this from IndieDB a good while back, so I have more playtime than logged here. I've seen noticeable improvements since the IndieDB release, most notable to me in the replacement of some placeholder sound effects. I've always loved the Quake-like atmosphere the game has, it almost feels like it runs on the Quake engine! I think levels are a little sparsely populated for their size, sound could use more punch, and a save system would be nice, but I think if you like games like Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Dusk, or Unreal you're very likely to feel satisfied with what you get for the price!

This is a negative review, but only slightly. This game has potential. I can feel the passion. But it feels too much like you played Quake and Half Life before making it, and the levels are far too open.

Also, it's very difficult to press "E" on things, and the movement is just too slow for the gameplay.

Unfortunately, I will be refunding, but I look forward to your next game.

The Game is different from the Boomer Shooters, because it's fun, fast paced, but, so far the third level in the first episode was kinda a bust, because you know where all of the keys are at, the weapons are good, The Music is amazingly 80s, more 80s than Russel Adler's hair. But I wonder if the Devs are secretly New Blood Interactive, because it uses the Unity engine. A surprise that I haven't seen a Civvie reference yet...but if this game had a sequal, then the sequal should have a customizable character, the same enemy types, continues the same story, and maybe a few Civvie, Scott the Woz, and POSTAL references...so, I'll give this game an 8/10...because it's my opinion of course, but if you wanna check it out, then I'll have to say, this game will be harder than the ancient gods Part 1...unless if you're a professional at Boomer Shooters, I was on the fence when this game released, but then the dev added in fixes to the game, which it's pretty important to patch the game...I know this review kinda dragged.

I get the feeling the developers are fans of Half Life/Quake & Dusk haha...Really good. I like it, but the first level is much too complicated. some of the enemies fire rate should be toned down a notch. other then that its pretty solid.

Incredibly well inspired and fun to play spiritual sequel!!

This game is very much what the sequel to Blood should have been back in the day. Anyone remember that one?

Blood was an fps which used the Duke Nukem engine... basically a few steps above DOOM but not to the level of Quake. It was a satirical horror shooter that looked like a playable version of the best/worst Italian 60s or 70s horror movie you ever saw... very silly and obviously low budget, but inspired in ways that make you want to watch it again and again every now and then.

The game Blood 2 was horrible... it destroyed the franchise by totally changing the dark and moody yet tongue-in-cheek and comical cult horror nature of it into a dry technological and unimaginative waste of money. I always wished that Blood 2 had been done so much better. Now I feel like it has!

Technologically this game is nowhere near current standards but the overall appearance is very dark, stormy and charming in a retro kind of way. The action is somewhat different... it emphasizes killing the enemies from a great distance. To mitigate this and actually be able to SEE the enemies you are shooting at, try adjusting the FOV in settings to about 40-50... you'll lose some of your peripheral vision but the enemies will look bigger even though far away. Level design is very open-space so those who prefer a less cramped and in-yo-face shooter will find much to like here... at least starting out.

By the way, two things this game retains from Blood as a spiritual sequel are the silly phone calls you get by approaching a phone booth... and obvious level design nods to classic movies; The first level alone does so to 2001: A Space Odyssey... and Scream. These are fun Easter eggs to find along the way.

Bottom line is this game is WELL worth the low cost of admission at the gate, and the gameplay, colorful design and retro style will definitely give at least most older or indie-liking gamers a lot to enjoy!

This game is a bit of a rough diamond right now - you can really feel the potential when you play, there's a prime Boomer-Shooter in here somewhere it just needs some refinement and polish.

For the price though? Absolutely worth it. Best £0.79 I spent on a steam game.

Hey, game developers, not everyone uses WASD for movement. Why aren't the keys fully remappable? I use the left mouse button for forward, and the right button for reverse. I use LCTRL for fire, and S and X for strafing left and right. This pisses me off. I am an experienced gamer, been doing it for over twenty years, and I don't feel like relearning different keys because certain game developers are out of touch with what some gamers like. Update this game to fully remappable keys.

Absolutely great Serious Sam clone! For the price it's a sin not to grab this!!

Only 2 downsides

-Jumping is very awkward and there are a lot of looong platforming sections
-No saving. And some of the levels are VERY LONG

But I'll be damned if it's not a damn fun game

Very underrated, super fun game, game is pretty difficult due to enemies hitting hard and the large amount of projectiles. Great game that I would pay more money for, it is also actively supported by the dev's. I like playing the game in small segments when stuff is downloading, not my favorite game, but it sure is fun, also, if this game ever gets workshop support, this game would be even better, a great game for retro enthusiasts and everyone, guns feel unique, the shotgun is literally a neosted bullpup shotgun. (Look it up, forgotten weapons does a great video on it). Also, FUCKING DINOSAURS WITH ROCKET LAUNCHERS. Great game, I whole heartedly reccomend the game, like i said, needs more attention.

A fun boomer shooter that only costs a dollar, that plays better than a lot of boomer shooter/retro shooters on here that cost up to 15 times that much.

Similar to how dusk was somewhere in between quake and redneck rampage, this game feels in between Duke Nukem and Half Life.

Gonna be honest, after playing through HROT and then this game back to back, this game has way better level design. You can tell the developer did a lot of research into how to make decent levels and didn't just throw things at a wall to see if they stick. Levels have lots of places to explore and aren't confusing: as long as you understand you should be looking for keycards, where you need to go next is often pretty easy to find.

My only complaint is that the plasma gun takes years off my hearing every time I fire it. If the developer reads this, please consider making it quieter. It's like 5x as loud as any other weapon

I like it and at the price it cant be beat, constant dev updates, labor of love looks like, would recommend

It just feels good to shoot things in this game, plus any game that lets you interact with the environment like fridge n such to get health pickups, just great!

0,79€ for such an fun game ? Absolutely worth it. For me the best part in this game is the Music. Almost cried when i started hearing a almost identical Serious Sam Theme in Episode 2. Love this game is a must to play.

I mean, it's 99 Cents... For that price, you can do WAY worse on a random fps game that nobody (that I know of) knows about. I stumbled on this one by accident myself! I wanted to hit the "I received this for free" box because it feels like theft for just a $1.00.

The game is like a "grungier" and homemade version of Quake with a survival horror tint to it. Watch your health and ammo, and beware what lurks around the corners and underwater... Keep your eyes and ears open! Watch your lives too, and don't get too hung up on lack of saving mid-level. If you're even slightly good at FPS games, you'll be fine... Maybe...

I've only played Level 1 of Episode 1 at the time of review, but I will say it's absolutely worth it. JG Roos (the dev) is still making updates, and now we have a free soundtrack and achievements, at least since I bought the game. Mr. or Mrs./Ms. Developer, you spoil us.

My first thought upon entering the first level and walking about for a few seconds with the creepy music and atmosphere: "Nobody said this was a horror game!" Just thought that was funny. I'd love to see some Youtubers do a playthrough of this.

A fun game; whilst it has some flaws it's a genuine heartfelt retro shooter and for an absolute bargain price.

Muckelchen

Really nice old school fps for less than one buck !

Is it perfect though? No, level design isn't that great imo. Especially the levels in episode 1 are way too large, with big open areas. The content in the game is really good, consisting of 3 episodes, the whole thing took me about 4.5 hours to beat.
But it gets a bit better in the later episodes. At least the game has some nice surprises and wtf moments.

Another flaw imo is the complete lack of saves. And even on normal difficulty there are enemies who can kill you in a few seconds. To compensate for the lack of saves you can collect extra lives. I mean this system mostly works well. I never ran out of lives, so it wasn't frustrating, just once or twice I got to 0 or 1 lives.
Still I would have prefered the classic system with quick saves. But I guess this way it's more action loaded and you have to take the consequences of your actions.

Besides that there are some other flaws like the weapons aren't treated equally, or I'd better say the balancing of the weapons isn't great, like you constantly get so much ammo for your shotgun, but not so much for your minigun which also tears through ammo so fast. The plasma gun seemed pretty much useless, while the ray gun is super strong but also takes 50 for one single shot and the maximum amount of ammo your carrry for it is 100. Which means I only used the ray gun for the really strong enemies. Then the rpg seemed to be op for me. It deals massive damage, the blast radius is also very big and if you just use it occasionally on groups of enemies or stronger enemies you always have enough ammo for it.
So to summarize it most of the time you will just use the shotgun, sometimes the minigun and the rpg, thats pretty much it.

Then lets just say there are a bunch of enemy types which are super annoying.

Overall I did critize it a lot, but the game still works fine but is mostly super fun after you get used to it.

Let Me in Ruhe
Let Me in Ruhe

Super fun game, reminds me of Wolfenstein but in 3D. What I ESPECIALLY like is that in every level, I get jumpscared at least once. Be it a clown running towards you when you cut a corner in an abandoned hotel or a bunch of football players (?) running towards you with the speed of light. I really dig the horror aspect and will definitely play through the whole game. Controls are ok, game didn't crash once, graphics fit the style.

Fantastic game for fans of the glory days of FPS games such as Quake and Unreal, CARNAL is Challenging and rewarding, as well as a blast to play through, it's blood-soaked retro FPS style levels and catchy MIDI soundtrack will bring back memories of gaming on your PC in the late 90's to early 2000's, so, grab a can of Surge and some Doritos and have at it!

A solid boomer shooter at a more than a fair price. Seriously this game has loads of potential, hell, all its missing in my opinion is a save feature, already has three episodes, and no early access waiting forever for the full game BS.

NachtmahR
NachtmahR

The game is severely underpriced for what you get. It's another throwback fps made with little to no resources, but the results are very nice.
It's janky of course but it offers lots of maps and punchy weapons (and rocket launcher cyber dinosurs!).
Also, it isn't even that much more janky...jankier? compared to many of the current 15-20$ shooters. Hrot comes to mind. Another great boomer fps but lots of jank for the asking price. The biggest con is that some of the levels are too big for their own good and that the A.I is somewhat basic.

Give Carnal a shot, you can't go wrong for the 1$ it costs.

Hello! David Szymanski send me from Twitter.
I've only played the first level but I already love this game. Is fun and you can see the developer had fun creating it too. It feels like a mix of Quake 1 with Duke Nukem 3D, Corridor 7, Blood, the humor of Shadow Warrior and a pinch of Rise of the Triad.
The description about what you get is honest and the game is way better than many cheap "serious" games on Steam. It worth every cent, best $0.50USD I've spend this year.

BOY♂NEXT♂DOOR

Pretty straightforward point-and-shooter that's elevated by it's delivery. This game rules. CARNAL really nails a tone with its art direction, SFX design, and stellar soundtrack. A really impressive amount of content and effort for the 50 cent price tag, and a solid contribution to the boomer shooter renaissance.

marklar
marklar

Nice homage to classic FPS games. Definitely worth a buck.
My only complaint is that none of your ammo or extra lives carry over after finishing a level, but since levels are well balanced it doesn't really matter.
Get it if you want some mindless shooting action and searching for those keycards to open doors like in the days of old.

I got this for 50 cents and it was a very good use of 50 cents.

Weird wacky fun little game with plenty of content and charm for the price. If you vibe with stuff like Zombaliens and Limitless Hunger, you'll vibe with this.

A fun experience for the price. Has very little gameplay depth but its still fun. The level design is pretty interesting and original.

Pharaoh Avi I
Pharaoh Avi I

This is. Definitely! A shooter.

As the dev suggests right out the gate: this game isn't meant to be taken seriously. So if you're gonna gripe that this doesn't offer anything new, well, sorry. This is the shooter equivalent of comfort food: it's satisfying enough and it prefers it that way.

However, this game isn't without its charms. The veneer of blocky, PS1 era graphics are always a plus in my book, peppered with bits and pieces of that specific mid-90's era of grey alien culture. Gameplay-wise, well. As I've said, it's a Shooter, Alright! But I would say its core gameplay feel takes a page from the Serious Sam playbook; it gets frantic, arena-y and there's that occasional spectacle that raises the action. That especially goes for the football player enemies that are basically werebulls on crack. Dev, if you are reading this: DO NOT change them, they absolutely rule, THANK YOU.

As far as complaints are concerned: the game itself still feels undercooked in places BUT I know it's getting constantly patched so I can't give it too much grief, since I feel the earnestness outweighs the problems. But if I could offer one critique? I'd say make the player speed faster just to make exploring some of the bigger maps not feel so much like a slog. Plus those T-Rex enemies really close the gap on you too fast for my liking. That's really it! Thank you for doing this simple yet fun game!!!

9.5/10

Considering the price, the game design, and the replay-ability, this game is criminally underrated, and the best place to put 50 cents. The kind of game you can just kick back and have some 90's styled fun.

Playing the game is similar to the action of old shooters like Quake or Doom, and doesn't feel cheap. There is a good variety of enemies, weapons, and a variation in levels, the Supermarket bright and well lit with loads of enemies, and the school dark, with small, fast enemies. The enemies vary from comically hilarious and over the top, (in a good way), such as a Trex with a laser on it that shakes the earth, to "scary" monsters with a high running speed and hp that hide around corners. Additionally, the dev has a sense of humour and hid small jokes in the game, such as the Telephone in the 3rd level. I have heard others encounter bugs in the game, but I didn't have any trouble myself, possibly due to the patches rolled out recently. A very neat game that exceeded my expectations, and is a ton of fun to play.

A pretty good retro style fps game, especially for the low price. It's a bit rough around the edges in quite a few ways, but if you already enjoy this style of game or are familiar with it, then you'll most likely enjoy what the game has to offer. So have a good time shooting aliens, killer dolls, and maybe a t-rex or two, while eating toilet cheeseburgers

Pretty underpriced really. Could be at least 5 bucks and still be more than worth it. Enemies absolutely soak up bullets, kinda unfortunate, but otherwise the weapons aren't awful. Levels are pretty fun, but I would say level E1M3 is when things start getting more interesting. Decent amount of game for the price really.

The developer MUST be a fan of old school FPS games (or as I think of them, the Strafe-N-Spray genre). As soon as I started playing I got strong Duke Nukem 3D vibes....and in a good way. The levels have that surreal feel to them that mixes "big and empty battlefield" and "former civilization".

I love the variety and randomness of the monsters. Your standard blastard trooper is here, but so are creepy demon clowns, glowing aliens, and lizard men. I left a building once, only to notice explosions happening near me. I whipped around to see what was shooting at me and it was a damn T-Rex with missile launchers charging down the street. I laughed. Well, I ran...but I also laughed.

This game is definitely a bargain for the NON-SALE price of a dollar. The developer is VERY active in the forums and the game shows a lot of love. Give it a shot!

A surprisingly great find! And it's only a dollar! It's packed to the brim with unique fun levels, and really captures that old school doom feel but with better controls. If this cost more money i might be more critical, but seriously, ALL THIS for a dollar? And ONLY a dollar? Fantastic. This is seriously like a 10$ game. Get it right now, very fun.

Also toilet burgers restore your health.

A bargain bin retro fps a la "Dusk", incredibly cheap but good none the less .
Sky boxes and HUD are off putting, but the levels and enemies are varied and imaginative. Balance is strange and arcade-y, everything is so fast that it is impossible to dodge attacks but extra lives and health items are frequent enough to balance that out. Also almost everything fells like is at the wrong scale, like huge levels but tiny houses and cars, and the enemies are as lost in them as I am.
But the developer is continuously improving and patching the game and it is fun and cheap, try it!

silly and janky as all hell but for 99 cents (or 50 cents when it goes on sale) you get A LOT. first level alone took me at least 20 min to explore to my heart's content and theres 16 more for me to get through. if you like wacky games and dont mind some jank, carnal might interest you. only complaint i have is with the audio since a lot of it isnt mixed or balanced well. sometimes to the point where my ears hurt.

Amazing game! This is any FPS junkie's dream. I still can't figure out why they're selling it for only $0.99...

7/10 I'm not really sure why this game is so cheap. Maybe the dev likes being broke. I like how you can snipe people with the shotgun from lightyears away and how jumping sideways gives a nice speedboost. Bosses could use more sound effects but the $2 budget of this game probably went to snacks and refreshments during development. not bad not great the story was ok but I honestly don't care terimaka boshda chutya.

I don't understand why people like this game. It's literally a rip-off of Dusk.

Great game. The plasma gun could use a huge buff, but overall, its much better than it has any rights to be.
Edit: as of patch 1.8, the plasma gun now has the damage to compensate for being a projectile weapon.

Having played and now completed the game I can 100% confirm this game is worth its price. It is not anything special, as the dev explains, but what it is, is a little 1 man project with a bit of quirk and love.

Not only does it scratch an itch for 3-4 hours, it provides achievements for each level completion, the music is great and the game doesn't take itself too seriously.

The only minor issue is the sound effects could be a bit clearer and maybe mixed to a more regular volume, but that is nit-picking.

Recommended at the price for sure 8/10

This is a quick and dirty blast of retro-style FPS fun with vibes of DUSK, Quake and build engine shooters. It's not out to be the best retro FPS but it is filled with good action, big levels, lots of enemies, fun interacts with some objects and fast paced action.
Additionally, the music for this short, cheap little game has no right to be as blistering as it is.

Feels horrible in every way a boomer shooter could. Movement is passable at best but the shooting feels like nothing and projectiles the enemy fire feel annoying to dodge because there's so many of them at once and enemies often fire straight through walls as well.

I've never been so surprised by a game. Do not be mislead by the low price tag, CARNAL is an awesome game. It's a lot of fun and full of charm. Love it.

Do you love Dusk?? Do you love old school shooter action? Do you like to pay ONLY 0.50??

Played on Linux using Proton, If you have played games like "Dusk" and liked it, Then your likely want to give this game a try.

1996 Graphics and Game Play, Sound is okay, Can be a little hard at first as unlike 1990 shooters this game has some A.I. and can chase you into buildings, etc.

Not a Bad Game and i will Recommend it, could do a lot worse for 0.79 GBP (Or in my case on sale for 0.39 GBP).

for 99 cents i think this game is perfect. it has elements of various fps like doom, wolfenstein, etc. the only real complaint i can think of is that the shotgun dosen't have a satisfying animation.

Had a blast playing through this. Feels like it legit came from the 90s like some bootleg shooter you found on a disk. Worth well more than what they're asking.

Really glad that this game is only 99 cents. After only playing a handful of levels, I've realized that this game has a weird amount of edgy and off jokes in it. From homophobia, to antisemitism, racism, anti-vax propaganda, and even flat out calling abortion murder.
They could be the jokes that are missing the mark, but with the amount of Bible verses spread throughout: It's hard to see that the creator isn't just pushing their weird views.

It's kind of a shame. The game is a passable old school FPS if you've already played through all of the Ion Furies, Ultrakills and Project Warlocks, and you're hard up for some jank.
The level design could definitely use some work. The game is definitely on the easier side. You get lives to use, and no saves throughout the level, but it is likely that you won't end up expending any of said lives.
You would likely have a better time with any custom Dusk map or Quake mod.
When I see something described as offensive humor, I expect something well made, like Postal or Grand Theft Auto, not something bordering on my alt-right uncle's Facebook wall or my 16 year old cousin's idea of what all republicans think.

Edit as a response to the dev: Just because a racial depiction comes from my place of origin, does not excuse it, or make it okay. It's still racist.
You compared queer people to Nephilim, which are "fallen" and many sources call "evil giants."
You literally have a billboard that alludes to vaccines being somehow dishonestly promoted, which is very anti-vax.
A fetus is not a child, it is literally a small group of cells. Which is why you have to abort early in your term. Claiming otherwise is dishonest and your very muddy language about it is very telling.
Your "Joke" about kabbalah misses it's mark by a long shot, as many people recognize the hexagram as a symbol of Judaism. Not to mention: Kabbalah is a sect of Judaism.
A good amount of people don't feel the need to read some old mistranslated book from over 2000 years ago.
You cannot claim that you have ignorance over other cultures, just so that you can evade criticism. Especially when you use "jokes" that you claim to be using from "my nation."
It's clearly "only a joke" when you get called out for it.

Edit 2:
You can be vaccinated and be anti-vax. The way in which it was put forward was that of someone who opposed vaccines, or mandated vaccines.
Stereotypes can fall underneath the blanket of racism. While stereotypes aren't always racist, they are when they are targeting a race of people.
The appropriate time to terminate a fetus, or what you call to "kill infants," is usually around the 13th-20th week.
Just because I view most religion as outdated and useless, doesn't mean it's that way for others. It took less than 10 minutes of google to find out about Kaballah.
I'm less offended, and more wanted to allow people to know what is in the game. So that others don't fall into some weirdo's hellscape.
Your English thus far has been fine. I'm not discrediting you on that. I'm calling your language of "killing children" and "kill infants" to be ignorant entirely to what abortion actually is. You purposely phrase those things in a way that is just a muddling of the truth.
Calling me and my views abhorrent after all of your tolerance talk is quite funny.
The issue is: you put your views on display in the game. That opens them to criticism. You are being purposely brash and offensive with the idea that it keeps you from criticism, because you can claim they are jokes "up for interpretation." Jokes and humor are also able to be criticized, especially when they are left in a vague state. It is your fault for them getting misconstrued, especially when you don't correct it.

What a fun game. Had a real good time with it. Reminded me a lot of playing Serious Sam years ago. The humor was great too, the payphone stuff made me laugh. Great levels and gameplay, love that price tag too. Hope there's more!

A fun little shooter reminiscent of Dusk if not quite as polished. It's a quick game and doesn't outstay its welcome.

It's like a bargain bin cross between Duke3D and Serious Sam. The level design is particularly good, and there's a lot that will surprise and delight you. Worth every cent.

Was not expecting a 50 cent game to have 17 levels

It's a fun game but I noticed a lot of empty areas with nothing in them.

Also they rushed the last couple levels on episode 3 because I beat them in less than 3 minutes and I was taking my time.

Fun game for 50 cents though.
