/vr/ - Retro Games

So I've known about 8-Bit Deathmatch for years but never actually tried it. Decided to give it an honest shot and...
It's not bad, I guess?

The graphical style is garish as hell, but the core gameplay is pretty neat. There's a lot of talk of the whole "mobility as defense" for Doom, but making every weapon a slow-ish projectile really emphasizes the movement and dodging. Shame the player speed is toned down a bit.
I'm sure my opinion will change once I get online thanks to the playerbase, so I decided to try it offline first. I've been having fun, which is surprising.
