Neat little gem.

It’s a simple shoot em up game with bullet time mechanics. Yeah it’s crude, a work in progress but you know what…it work! Not all games have to be triple a titles. For what it is, it’s fun! Especially sandbox mode! I hope the dev keeps going with it it’s got potential. Dev- Don’t do like some devs do and throw every idea they have into it. Just keep it stupid simple. (Kiss method) The only small Croatian I have is the baby hands, you need to do something about that. Then again…it’s hilarious to see!

Released 3 years ago in 2022

I purchased this game after believing 4-5 star reviews were good things but when I read the release date “July 26, 2022” I figured since it’s been out for 3 years that they would’ve had it together somewhat after all this time. The game is like 20-40 minutes long depending on the player but still… No new chapters after the first one which is $14.99 and lasts a measly 20 minutes which if you think about it, it’s like a buck a minute. I’m just bummed because I enjoyed it and i wish there was more of it for me to enjoy is all!

So Mid

When I started I was like " Woah this game looks cool!" Little did I know it looks like AI slop and every time there's a comic scene, I fall through the map and land on a roof of a building. This game is so BORING. I have no IDEA what to do. I was in an alleyway trying to figure out where to go bc there are SO MANY DEAD ENDS. Also why are my hands the size of a toddlers hands? I'm sure the main character you're playing as is a grown man. Anyways this game is buns idk why people are glazing it literally been the same since 22

Max Payne in VR

I already tried it and it has a lot of merit coming from an indie studio, I will soon leave my impressions on YouTube. But it reminded me of movies like The Matrix, John Wick or games like Max Payne. The combat system is very cool, as are the shots, but you must improve the impacts on people and make the bullet impacts more realistic. I would make it more bloody and gore. I also really liked bullet time, as well as the story, graphics and setting. And maybe I would add more variety of faces in the enemies.

I know Gun-Fu

“Deceptive” perfectly describes this game. I went in expecting another “time moves as fast as you do” type of experience, but it turned out to be so much more. You’re thrown into the shoes of a protagonist who channels Neo from The Matrix and John Wick. Keanu vibes are everywhere and that’s a good thing because behind the Gun-Fu action there is a compelling story. In the game, you can choose how to take down enemies and can be as active as you want. Take them out from afar with your gun but I always prefer an aggressive approach. As I take down the baddies, I am ducking, dodging and throwing combo punches until my heart is pounding out of my chest. My favorite moment came when an enemy tried to deliver a roundhouse kick, I slowed time, ducked, and delivered an uppercut straight to his nards. In addition to your fists, you can use guns, knives, and even items around you to take out enemies, all of which they react to. And once you finish the story, there are additional modes to keep the action going.
