A retro shooter inspired by classics like Wolfenstein and Doom. Think of it as a tribute, a love letter to the games that defined a generation, with a few modern touches of my own. It’s tough, fast, and demands skill, just the way those old-school shooters did.
Anyone tried this? How does it compare to some of the more elaborate megaWADs?
It’s great fun.
Its free, great reviews, and it’s 18gb. Can’t hurt to just download it and give it a play
Is 18GB considered small now?
it’s not small, no, and they also didn’t even say that. but it’s also not the 150gb that modern AAA games are these days. for a lot of people in the US, where the government doesn’t give a shit about consumers, their broadband might be spotty or have download quotas.
For an FPS? Not ‘small’ but definitely nothing unusual or burdensome. In fact I don’t have any FPS games made in the last 7 years that are smaller.
Just a quick look at some of my currently installed games via Playnite shows the average for a modern FPS is pretty huge.
- MGS:V - 29GB
- Yakuza 0 - 24.7GB
- Deadlock - 29.4GB
- Wolf Old Blood - 32.6GB
- TF 2 - 39GB
- RoboCop - 37GB
- Wolf New Collossus - 48GB
- The Finals - 62GB
- Doom (2016) - 68GB
- Killing Floor 2 - 95GB
- Helldivers 2 - 135GB
Yeah true, 18GB is small for a AAA game but this is a retro indie!
I’ve been playing it now. It’s ok. Definitely not a must play or anything but a decent bit of fun if you like boomer shooters, and the price is right.
Its like if Wolf 3D had a 2010 engine. But 2000s textures.
Killing Floor 2 was one of the most boring and soulless games I ever paid for. Any amount of money is too much.
Yes, I still have it installed on a spinning disk because storage is very low cost - but I think I’ve only played it maybe 3 times. Very uninteresting next to the competition. Will blow it away when I need the storage space for a different game eventually.
There’s a few comments discussing it in the linked thread
