Strafe: Millennium Edition

Got this from the Humble Bundle Monthly subscription thing.

If Doom had sex with Rogue plus a touch of Dragon's Lair.

So FPS + randomly generating levels you'll be going through multiple times and learning more each time.

I HATED it when I first launched it. 90s graphics. The mouse sensitivity was set WAY too high, and I had no clue what the hell was going on. However, I figured I'd knock it out real quick and grab whatever achievements are there. And the game grew on me.

I started learning more and more what enemies are doing, what weapons do what, what all the items and power ups do, etc. I began getting farther and farther in levels. I even cheated a touch to learn what I'm supposed to be doing and discovered why I wasn't getting the options I should have been getting (hint: teleporter parts need to be put into the teleporter...one a run).

The enemies range from simple to annoying, but en masse they kick ass. I get zombie hordes more...

If you enjoy FPS games and don't mind repetitive stuff in a non-repetitive world, this is a solid bit of nostalgia mixed with new game design, but not at $10 on Steam. I'd highly recommend it at $5 and less.

The best compliment I can pay this FPS is that I beat it last night, yet I still want to keep playing it.

There is a ton of hidden shit in this game, including a reward room if the game glitches on you. I fell through a wall and ended up in a "glitch store" where all the items were free.

I've beaten it with the shotgun, rail gun, and now machine gun. I still haven't come close to seeing all the secrets.

I neglected to mention that there are persistent things in your runs. If you get it, here's a pro tip: When you first enter you'll see a dead guy. Shoot his head off until you hear a chime. That adds Wolfenstein clones that take 30 seconds to beat and give you additional stuff.

Did I mention it's one life per run?

They did a big update and dropped the price.

Also now available on Mac and Linux.

Again: Rogue-like FPS. One life per run. Fun as hell. TONS of secrets that aren't just secret rooms, but secret weapons, games, stores, etc.
