they done yassified the boomer shooter. fashion police squad (FPS) is a very fun, creative, and fresh take on the oh so very saturated genre that is the retro first-person shooter. similarly to doom eternal it has the player swapping weapons around a lot of the time in combat but not because of ammo economy but because some enemies can only be damaged by certain weapons. that combined with the belt whip ability to stun and grapple onto poles makes for some very engaging gameplay. the game also has a lot of variety throughout its playtime, never really losing steam across the different levels. also the boss fights arent half bad, they can get pretty good (especially the final boss)!

the only downside i have for the game is the movement. sometimes you slip off ledges, the air control feels a bit floaty, a decent amount of the time my jump didn't get registered during platforming because i was on the edge to make some very far jump (and there are quite a few long jumps in the game). there were a couple of lines of dialogue that i cringed at but i gotta give the game credit in embracing all of the puns it makes.

overall a pretty good game that any retro fps enjoyer should play. whether or not the premise of being a passionate fashionista law enforcer interests you, the game has a lot of love put into it which definitely enhanced my time with it. the devs care not only for the medium but also the genre that Fashion Police Squad falls into.
