This still baffles me, taking unloved, which was a pretty good mod, and then turn it into a roguelike co-op shooter with all of those weird stats and items. The HUD's pretty bad too
When I first saw this game on Steam, it looked like a generic zombie shooter game to me, which made it all the more confusing that it was getting glowing positive reviews comparing it to DOOM (I thought it was a Greenlight scam gone full retail).
I then asked my friend that knows shit tons more about DOOM than me, and he told me that while the original mod was pretty unique and still held up pretty well, the actual game basically takes one of its best strengths (maps) and throws it out the window (for "randomly generated" maps as the description says).
Still, the game isn't pretty to look at at all. I know visuals don't always matter, but they at least need to be coherent, and not some blurry, muddy, bloody mess. Even games that are literal bloody messes have some coherency.
The gameplay is alright but that's about as far as it goes. If you play for a long time expect to not be able to browse Facepunch for a while, yes that's how dark it is, it puts Doom 3 to shame with it's dark ambience and dark textures just dark everywhere.
these things' animation rig is fucked up at the shoulders and they just look goofy and noodly in half these shots

the clown is also badly rigged and that clip showed its run animation is just short of the torso gliding forward while the arms/legs move, and when it dies it just kind of expands into this rubbery mess

the whole thing looks like storebought assets and some starter animation packs that loosely worked together, and a ton of rookie UE4 art direction (the high gloss on everything, ultra dense screen dust, etc). I'm sure a lot of passion went into coding up weapons and figuring out AI (visibly janky in the video, notably that nurse toward the end) and ultimately piecing it together, but I'm not sure who'd expect 15 bucks for that
It looks like a cheap Unity game. How does this even resemble the Doom mod?
