REVEREND

I'm glad it was over in less than an hour, the weird billboarding on almost all of the objects in the game was giving me a headache. There wasn't a lot to like about this game; the level design was very rough (especially in the second to last level), the enemies were basic and uninspired, you get so little ammo in the first few maps you practically main the hammer, and I still don't know what was at stake or accomplished in the story. Reverend is a very mediocre boomer shooter. If you want an example of this done better, go play DOSMan Games' other shooters, particularly DEAD TRASH, instead.

I like the overall aesthetics of the game but it's way too short. Not enough enemies or weapons and I noticed if I stand still with the hammer I can just stunlock enemies. Final boss is lame. One of these reviews I wish steam had a neutral option on.

Reverend is a really fun bite sized boomer shooter. I've been a fan of all the DosMan games I've played and Reverend is no exception. It has a crunchy 90's j-peg aesthetic I really dig. I finished it in a little over an hour, and have played through it a few times now. Looking forward to the future of Reverend with Surf n Sin and Reverend II

I wanted to like this but its really boring.

[h1]Overall = 7/10[/h1] Dark and moody with plenty of Eldritch demonic horror, although the high difficulty is a little off-putting. The setting, enemy and weapon design is good with plenty of secrets in the short, basic looking levels, but there’s too many bosses in quick succession, making the game feel rushed rather than properly paced. The clash of neon colours makes some of the later levels an eyesore to play (which I guess is kind of the point, narratively speaking), but there’s far too many floor tiles which damage you and enemies who have invisible attacks which you can’t dodge. Fun sound bites and humour.

Awful.
