Yeah, I played it [Strife] and it's pretty good. Didn't go to the good ending though once I found it's just a bit more filler before the same set of levels.

Have you guys heard about the Doom RPGs for Nokia's Symbian phones? Doom 2 RPG has been ported a few weeks ago. They're actually pretty good for early mobile games (when there was no microtransactions).

Also Goldilocksing, rofl:

Feels like trying way too hard and not really justifying its own existence. The entire review was talking about how cringy the 90's were and fapping over being a part of the old FPS modding community rather than the game's levels, enemies and weapons.

Unlike something like Cruelty Squad that is a shitpost but also has a ton of weapons, ways to clear levels and references to current year that pretty much everyone can understand, Slayers is made to exclusively appease 35 year olds.
 
I wonder if the game is based on some kind of personal experience by one of the devs. Who was a sheltered and nerdy but also edgy teenager living with his mom and her boyfriend, imagining himself a badass hacker killing his stepdad in cruel and unusual ways cause he wouldn't let him use the internet before he finished his homework.
Which is kinda gay. I mean, if you're a teen, don't be a nerd who comes up with a whole game in which he enacts revenge on his mom's boyfried, be a Chad, who plays sports, hangs out with his friends, gets a GF and doesn't play videogames, let alone thinks about developing them.

I like the game, but the review is pretty bad. I dunno, something about it just clicked with me.. Parts of it are made intentionally bad, but other parts show that it is a competent game. I like the fact that there's three music tracks for the levels (Ambient, Combat, Pumped). The game itself says more about Zane then it actually being a shitpost. Zane has power fantasy issues close to Chris Chan levels, like him being CEO and President to him putting his face on the currency along with a naïve understanding of the world (Thinking his boss "Mevin" is "Rich" because he lives in a cul de sac.)

I liked it and after I stopped playing it I immediately saw he made a video about it. Slayers X is 90's dude Gone Home, shameful and not prideful. Fun game, some bugs though.
 
I've been enjoying Slayers X. Yeah, it's a joke but the level design, the enemies and the weapons are fantastic and that's all I ask for in a game like this. My only qualm is that the weapons lack an alt-fire and there's no physics on the grenade launcher like you would expect but I suppose that feeds into the intentional jankness because it's obviously modelled after the dynamite crossbow from Redneck Rampage.
 
Civvie makes a rare foray into 40k. I think he sums up the game pretty well.
