I admit I hadn’t clicked on the full size screenshots before downloading because the thumbnails and description were enough to get me.
“Knee deep in casings exaggerated demigod mech minigun action”, hell yeah, I thought.
I can’t describe specifically why but my thoughts went to Abuse (DOS, 1996), MDK, Quake 1+2 in software mode, Cortex Command, Hammerfight. I expected gritty, crunchy, rusty, brassy.
But it looks painterly, soft (filtered textures, AA, DoF, bloom), stretchy, squishy. Hope you understand my point of view and disappointment. I don’t mean I’d like it to be straight up boomer shooter or PSX rendering but it’s too close to the other end in my opinion.
Very nice menu backgrounds, the rest of the UI needs to be on the same level. The font and rectangle elements are absolutely no-go.
Everything else is solid and promising for this early, looking forward to future versions.
