In case u didnt hear of this game, its made by the duke nukem devs in the original old ass engine. Classic shooter game, same graphics and even the music afaik is made in the old style. I think the original title was Ion Maiden but they ran into some issues so it changed.

I got it today and played a couple of levels, and can highly recommend if youre into that type of fast paced shooter. Every gun is incredibly satisfying especially with the way enemies explode when headshot. Very nostalgic, and it plays perfectly. Only issue im having is the fall damage is a bit rough. I also love the graphics, very clean looking and still carries enough detail and charm to be visually appealing. Sometimes its a little dark and hard to see, but its a small issue. Total size of the game is 90MB lol, but it seems quite lengthy. Definitely worth looking up during a sale, if 20€ is a bit pricey to you.

Theres been a load of drama recently so the reviews got bombed. Some trannies complained about the game having some offensive props/texts, and the publisher forced the devs to make some changes and write an apology or something. And then the trannies still decided that they wont buy the game, and so nothing was gained only lost. People are pissed, its pretty funny. Still a great game, but perhaps supporting the publisher isnt the best anymore. The developer even made a tweet saying along the lines of "fuck politics, we worked hard on this game so go pirate it if you want!" which is a respectable save, it was deleted tho.
