DESYNC

This is a really great game and it's a shame to hear about it being delisted. Let me attempt to do it justice. This is an Arena shooter with the movement mechanics of Doom Eternal. You shoot and dash around quickly to a thumping EDM soundtrack while pulling off scored kills. There are dozens and dozens of finishers which will net you a larger score and more dropped supplies so the name of the game is to kill quickly and with style. It took a few hours for things to fall into place but once it does this quickly becomes a pulse-pounding joy. Make no mistake about it this is a modern 'boomer shooter' before the term even existed. Many of the design elements in this game are only now just being explored by other throwback FPS games. It deserves a bigger place in the pantheon of our genre. If you want to know what holds this game back here we go. Be prepared for zero explanation of the upgrade system. You will have to remember weird names and shapes of the various weapons, items, and power ups. Newly collected weapons often leave you guessing what their sub functions are. Power ups and abilities aren't really explained clearly so you'll have to experiment (re: waste) them frequently until you learn what they actually do. Also, there is a somewhat confusing fatality system that you use to score big and unlock upgrades. Even after 15 hours it is only slightly starting to make sense to me and i can barely remember a half a dozen of the massive list of options. Regardless this game is excellent and should be preserved in your collection. I encourage you to pick this up even if now isn't the right time to play it. When you come back around to it i bet you will be plesantly surprised.
