  It's definitely pretty and the engine runs well, but it's clear they didn't have any experienced level designers. The game is only artificially hard, it creates the illusion of difficulty by making the enemies super-accurate, high-damage, and then making you fight them in the open where you cannot dodge or take cover. You're going to lose health and die, and it's not because you messed up, but because they made sure you would. They also starve you for health and ammo. The enemy variety is tiny. You have a scorpion, two fish, the fiend from Quake, a ranged guy who can also shoot rockets, and a bigger ranged guy. They're all mute, and you've seen them all by level two. The guns are nothing crazy, but they work, when they actually give you the ammo for em. You'll use the shotgun the most because it gets the most ammo. The locations are also mostly corridors. Overall this game does nothing notable and its difficulty is just cheap encounters designed to sap your health instead of engage you.

  The game's description says it's "fast paced" but it is one of the slowest paced modern "retro-style" FPS games I've played yet. And that's not even the worst part about it. Boring brown and grey textures. Repetitive level design. Unimaginative and weak weapons. Bullet-sponge hit-scanning enemies. I would put "too short" as a negative here as well but honestly its short length is a mercy.

  Imagine Doom 3 and Quake 2 having an indie baby. [i]Heavy[/i] inspiration from both games. There are some non-critical issues (such as ammo being skewed towards the shotgun while finding almost none of it for the starting machinegun later) but for the most part it's rather enjoyable. The bigger issue is the game asking for the same price as, say, DUSK while only having 6 (albeit long) levels. It is very short. It feels like one episode of a 3 to 4 episode game that doesn't exist. Still recommending it though because it'll eventually go on a deeper sale for you.

  Lacks a proper identity and not worth the price tag for the amount of play time. Beat the game on the hardest difficulty in 2.6 hours, bought it for more than full-priced Half-Life 2.

  This is a game that has so many little things wrong with that it's just annoyingly bad. I would say it's a mix of Unreal and the original Doom, but comparing this to those games is an insult to those classic shooters. 1. The controls are floaty, kinda annoying, but tolerable. Except when you have to navigate a couple girders or fall to your death. 2. All the doors look like walls. You pretty much have to walk up to everything you think is a door. 3. The enemy AI is as simple as it gets, they all look the same, and some of them do this tiny pathetic dodge hop. They feel like you're shooting dumb chunks of meat. 4. There are a bunch of small scorpions (why does this alien planet have scorpions?) and they're all tanky AF. You have to unload almost a full mag or two shotgun shells to kill them. Why? 5. The sound of stepping on alien guts sounds like someone cocking a shotgun. It's just similar enough where I was still conflating it after 2 hours. 6. This game really needs a map. It's not that bad, but I kept backtracking into areas I didn't need to. (More little annoyances.) 7. I hope your favorite color is brown because everything is brown or gray with some occasional yellow warning stripes thrown in randomly. 8. The machine gun minigun is absolutely annoying to use. Most games that have a minigun usually let you feather it to keep it spun up. Nope, not here. You gotta let it spin down so you can spin it back up. 9. No one likes water levels. They're even more annoying when you take chip damage from little fish that are a pain to kill because of floaty controls. They're even MORE annoying when they block your path in narrow tunnels with a very limited oxygen bar. 10. There's more than one section where the enemies get to take cheap shots at you. There are ways of pulling that mechanic off properly, but it's done wrong here. Overall, the more I played this game, the more annoyed I became. Until I was done dealing with it. Save your money, don't even buy it if it is on sale. P.S. the game isn't all bad. The music is good except for one song where it's possible to conflate part of it with background sound effects.

  It's so refreshing to see an FPS that is inspired by the late 90s and early 2000s style instead of another Doom clone. The first thing I noticed after starting the game was how it resembled Half-Life . Some elements and overall map design felt like the game was a modern HL mod. Only after finishing it and reading the credits I realized who was behind Perilous Warp and everything clicked: Xaerox - the creator of JACK level editor, Headcrab Frenzy and a couple of HL maps. XF-Alien - the creator of great mods such as HL: Delta, Arctic Incident and Gloom. Instead of circling enemies and fast-paced run and gun, we have more of a cover shooter. Unlike many other retro shooters this game looks authentic, like it came out in 200x, admirable work. Weapons feel nice, physics too, heavy and weighty. Movement is a bit slippy but absolutely not a deal breaker. Some inspirations I noticed are Doom 3, Chasm (dismemberment system), Blood (kicking heads around), Quake and of course, Half-Life. I suggest playing on Hard, it felt like the perfect difficulty for me. Nothing overly complicated and difficult. Despite the shortish length Perilous Warp is pretty good game that deserves a sequel as it left me wanting more of everything, recommended.

  EDIT: 1.1 fixes a lot of the issues I had when I wrote this review! The Reaper disc has been fixed, many bugs have been fixed (including one which prevented enemies from being stunlocked) and even the mighty shotgun has been improved massively. Good job Crystice Despite having some issues with weapon - enemy feedback, Perilous Warp is honestly my favourite game of this year so far. This game scratches a nostalgia itch no other old school / throwback FPS has been able to do thus far, with the healthy dose of Chasm: The Rift callbacks in the level design, weapons and enemies and the solid split - second gunplay bringing together what is an unbelievably enjoyable and faithful old school experience. Crystice are fantastic devs who have very often listened to fans' criticisms when it comes to the demo and full release; currently they're working on an update to patch some of PW's most noticeable issues which is showing more dedication than most teams ever bother to put into their games. Gunplay feels somewhat remniscent of Half-Life's being more run-think-shoot-live than rip-and-tear; you'll most often be darting into rooms and Quake II-hopping up to aliens to deliver some buckshot before you take too many hits. PW's Machine Gun has to be the second best automatic weapon in a video game (behind the Venom from RTCW) and the Railgun is probably the most badass rail in anything ever, gibbing everything but the highest tier enemies the game throws at you - I'd only say the Reaper Disc was a bit of a letdown as it seems a bit broken in its functionality and feedback right now, which will hopefully be fixed within the next update. Well worth picking up considering how much effort went into this and how low the price tag is, especially with promises of deathmatch and coop + bots as well as mod support on the way. PW is proof that you don't need to make a throwback FPS feel exactly like the most fondly remembered of classics IE Doom or Quake (looking at you Team Shambler); Crystice set out to make a fresh but old school experience with cues from Chasm: The Rift, Doom 3, Half-Life and Unreal. Despite the current shortcomings in base game length and some occasional hiccups with its gore and dismemberment system, I can safely say with Perilous Warp the devs have achieved and exceeded what they set out to do. Cheers to Xaerox for helping to fix an issue with OpenGl rendering in the demo too!

  Enjoyable old school game with good Linux support Recommend using static lighting until that is fixed. As well, weapon FOV can be edited in the config. Other than that, works very well out of the box. Update Dynamic lighting has been fixed, so graphics look very good

  I initially saw this game after David Syzmanski of DUSK fame tweeted the link to the store page. That was really all I needed to pick it up, and I wasn't disappointed. Perilous Warp is a shooter that reminds me a lot of a mix between Half-Life 1 and Quake 2, which makes sense since the people who developed it also created JACK, an enhanced version of Valve's Hammer map editor. The engine for this is custom-developed as far as I know and the game feels like a very well-done 2 hour demonstration of it. The enemy variety is low, but they're some of the most alert enemies I've fought. They're so good at dodging my fire they tend to sidestep railgun shots, which was a bit frustrating at times. The projectiles they fire are also almost too fast to actually dodge, you have to quickly tap A and D to prevent them from being able to lead their target. The enemy feedback for getting hit is also really sparse. I did get lost a couple times in the levels, but they're not too labyrinthine. The detailing and texture work is also wonderful, even if you force the texture resolution into "retro mode" like I did. Some of the secrets are very well hidden as well. The final boss is decent, but not very challenging. The ending also gets me excited for a possible update with more levels or full-length sequel. Really other than those minor issues, the only problem I had was how short the game was. It really is only 1-2 hours. I think for the price it's worth it, but you should know that going in.
