WRATH: Aeon of Ruin

great game

This is a nice and entertaining Q clone, some basics from Q1 are in there, but don't expect much of similarities nor anything from the story of this Titan. Coming over this fact, it is nicely set and makes fun to pass through, although of being a hard nut at some parts. These are like in Q- 3 lasting episodes with each 5 levels, where you need to collect fragments, then meeting the boss and passing into the next one. The locations are very varied and like entering another game, the architecture is well done, sound fits well into, graphs can be set with many options to create the own desire, weapons are cool and like in a Doom clone, especially the fancy chargeable mace. The foes are in good numbers and tactics, every with its own weakness, so as the physics are nicely done too. Also there are quite useful artefacts what can boost your character for a limited time, all in all- it makes fun to swipe trough, for me it lasted a bit more than 30 hrs, but it was worth doing so, achievement hunters can have fun with a semi second ride.

Questionable design choices here and there, and has the least fun pistol I've ever used in a game. Still very very fun. Wish there were more shotgun shells and fangs around the maps.

Nah.

Not bad, not good. Just play something else. I was enjoying despite the flaws but the first boss on hard difficulty is so boring and annoying (bullet sponge that spam the same 2 attacks in circular room) that I gave up. Hard difficulty is just too many enemies and scarce ammo. I can play Doom Eternal in ultraviolence without issues but got tired of dying in this game.

One of my favorite starter pistol + melee weapon combos. Combat and exploration are both a lot of fun, and benefit from the open ended level structure.

Really appreciate the intention to create a Quake-like FPS, but I didn't feel immersed or captivated, and didn't see any chance of that happening later. I think it was that the environments are too vast, and the enemies lacked that certain coolness factor. But it's worth a try if you like old FPS games. I chose not to request a refund, as I wholeheartedly support the goal of making awesome Quake-like games, and there will be many players who enjoyed this result.

Quake 1, but 10 times bigger, 10 times more enemies, alt fire, artefacts, and a "Use" key. No cutscenes, no story interruptions, just plain oldschool boomshoot action. None of the areas are copied and pasted, no hallways, rooms, so it never gets even a little confusing.
