/vr/ - Retro Games

I read the comments someone left on minidoom 2 and thought to myself 'no way this can be bad, the spritework looks amazing', so I downloaded, made it to one of the late hell levels, and went back to pandemonium after finding the 20 runes the game asks for and ooh boy, this game, this fucking game.

it's not even hard in the sense you would expect a platformer to be when they really want it to be hard, this game really does shit the bed. it's one of those games that favors difficulty over fun. everything is designed specifically to fuck you over and make you go 'here's to hoping that shit doesn't happen again' instead of making you feel accomplished. I would leave a more in-depth analysis of it but I just really wanted to vent. there's just so much about it, from the enemy usage and spam, to the arenas, to the absence of mouselook because that would make the game not shit to play, to the way the weapon wheel works, to how 90% of the game consists of pulling at your ballsack with a wrench. it's like they just wanted to make a game to vent their frustration and they so happened to use Doom's veneer.
