Can’t give it zero ..right? This looks worse than the original Wolf3D. Sounds? Ended up throwing on some Slayer to escape the ATARI retro bullshit.

I guess pixels was an aesthetic choice. In that regard, it does it adequately. Nothing particularly special. I tuned out the soundtrack.

Fullmetal Pixel!
-
The one redeeming thing about the game in this category are the sounds
-
Guns sound like guns! Fuckin’ A! (Thankfully there was no pew pew pew)
-
The eerie atmosphere created by the subtle background noise is impressive
-
It’s a shame the graphics didn’t match up.

Control
V-
-
It controls surprisingly well. Dinging it chair since no amount of control will sort getting jumped by a blob-o-pixels.
J-
-
Aiming got a bit silly as you try to fend off bunches of angry robots and zombies that want to eat your flesh
P-
-
Doesn’t get the fourth chair because changing weapons mid combat makes things even more clusterfucky.

FUN

I really wanted to dislike this game ..and I did. I would have given it two chairs but the price nixed that.
J-
-
Can’t say I particularly enjoyed it. Get swarmed by doods, die, restart, get swarmed by doods.
-
Plus the game really should be worth 5 bucks at most.
P-
-
It was stupidly fun, more so than I imagined.
-
In its rogue-like, top-down shooter thing, it shines above many of its kind.
-
Can’t give it the fourth chair because no fullmetal pixel game justifies $13.
