Selaco

Very very good. It's obviously missing a lot of the campaign, but it is an early access title. What is there is very worth playing. Keep going, devs!

Great shooter! No jumping, manbo jambo, very tactic, nice weapons and cool story. I am not asking for more.

This game had me sold from the beginning, with this slower paced boomer shooter and tons of immersive sim DNA... But what really turned me into a giddy mess while playing was discovering that arcade the first time down in the streets... Peak. Gameplay

This is a first-class shooter that is both exceptionally clever and a tonne of fun. I've both laughed myself silly and been stressed out of my brain (in a good way). It is closest probably to Doom (both the original and the reboots) in style and pace - very fast paced, but has a tonne of influences. I've been keeping track of all of the influences and I reckon I see doom, half life, halo, quake, the Metro series, and more. The first 15 minutes is a little bit rough - early access. If you make it through the first 15 minutes you won't be able to put it down. After that you get some more ammo and tools, discover some secrets, and it really "clicks". The dev team is super communicative and pays attention to every little detail. I cannot wait to see what they do with Act 2 and beyond. Can't recommend enough. It's a pixel game but it plays like a modern shooter. Seriously, buy this before you buy anything else.

There are lots of secrets

Selaco is simply one of the best shooters I've played. It took me a while to get hang of the combat component. Especially the powerful melee aspect which makes running down an enemy a really serious option. Unlike other GZDoom shooters, Selaco really feels like it's own game. What it has in common with Doom feels like it's by design, and not (by comparison to other GZDoom shooters) by default. I particularly appreciate the moments of calm to search and explore the maps and the limited and well chosen aspects combat moments. The story and environment is also fun to discover. I have some critical thoughts as well, but I only share them because the developers seem to actually read and care about feedback: - The picture of Dawn at the end of each level doesn't match the art style in the game and feels out of place. - While I've picked up some of the story aspects a lot of the time I don't really know why I'm doing what I'm doing. It's not really a problem because I'm having fun doing it, but still. - Does Dawn talk or not? Most of the time she feels like Gordon from Half Life, but then in the cloning plant level she randomly says 'No going back now'. I think given the often quite specific goals in each level it would be nice if she talked more to tie the story together and give the player a stronger sense of purpose. - I've finished the game and, at least according to Steam achievements, less than 20% of players have gotten to the end of the game. I don't know how normal that is, but it's a shame because it's lots of fun. I wonder if it would be a better idea to release chapter 2 and 3 as their own games because it would allow players to jump back on board even if they didn't get through the last chapter (and the first chapter really feels like a full game in it's own right). If you felt you owed it to early access buyers, you could always just give them chapter 2 and 3 for free as an acknowledgement that they thought they were going to get it in the original purchase. - I've gotten through the game fine and the puzzles aren't too hard to figure out, but I wonder if a lot of players would appreciate if there was an option where the game held your hand a bit more to walk you through some of the puzzles.

What a pleasent surprise this game is. A real retro FPS but feels modern. The campaign is awesome and they are adding a lot more to this game over time. Must buy for FPS fans.

wowowowowow felt like a doom x halo style gameplay with a half-life story/theme cannot wait to play more as it gets developed further
