« Vraiment cool, pouvoir jouer sur un jeu créer de toute pièce sur un moteur de plus de 25 ans c'est assez fabuleux. Les niveaux sont super bien construit et tous les sprites/pixel art est juste dingue. »

« I've been playing a lot of single player shooters lately, and compared to them this one lacks the impact of the gunplay, probably because there's not as much blood coming out of the enemies and it's often unclear where to go. »

« Uglier than any of the games it's inspired by. Not enough enemy variety. Weapons are mostly meh. Horrible color design. Play any original boomer instead... Doom, Blood, Duke Nukem, Dark Forces, etc. »
