I’ve heard about Alien Breed games, which were topdown shooters. But I didn’t know they had a FPS spinoff, and at first I thought it was just some demo or prototype. I wish it was, because it does look like a joke.
It’s a Doom clone, which means they have sector elevations, like stairs. It also stole Doom door sounds and shotgun sounds, although shotgun is animated like a pump action, despite being double barrelled. And they stole button bitmaps too. And of course you need to collect colored keys to open doors.
The real problem, though, is that half of the screen is taken by UI, and the game window is so tiny and pixelated it’s almost impossible to understand what’s going on.
Then there’s the level design. I replayed Doom and Doom 2 not long ago, and mostly, they are fine. Never did they make me press four buttons in a row in the same room to proceed.
