Plays very similar to Doom without the creativity or cohesion of games like Duke Nukem 3D. I think it's easier to appreciate now though, since it has a really unique and appealing presentation. The soundtrack's all ambient and scary and the game has that jagged early 3D look but with some really sharp and detailed looking texture work. It's nice, has that weirdly comfy atmosphere horror stuff sometimes has, along with gameplay that's really well paced and fun despite maybe being a bit basic. You're a bit weaker than in similar retro shooters but the game encourages aggression somewhat with the powerups that immediately activate when you pick them up and the cramped environments. Sounds like it wouldn't work, but it does, hooks you into being really engaged and constantly pushing forward.

those spawn enemies suck though idk what was going on there
