[h2]Warning - Asset Flip![/h2]
Bah, Zaxtor99 beat me to it! Anyway, here's to confirm that yes, this is yet another asset flip by HEDE. In a shocking move this Russian "developer" now released a retro FPS instead of the usual hidden object garbage but because they can't code it's still an asset flip.
And not of a particularly great asset either. [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/hellish-battle-2-5d-retro-fps-217578]Hellish Battle - 2.5D Retro FPS[/url] by Tiny Slime Studio is, as the name suggests, an attempt to recreate the classic FPS games - Doom, Duke Nukem 3D and so on - in Unity 3D. It's not my cup of tea personally - if I want to play a shooter I prefer modern graphics - but it somewhat works.
For some reason HEDE, in their eternal wisdom, chose to [i]remove[/i] features from the template that are now sorely missing, like for example the graphics settings. Even the main menu has been removed. Instead you're simply dumped into the level without any kind of introduction. There's only one map and once you beat that there's nothing left to do in the game.
Given that [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2290/Final_DOOM/]Final Doom[/url] is just $5 and contains endlessly more entertainment I suggest you turn to that if you really have to play a retro shooter. Even if you've played it before it's still more enjoyable than "Old Retro Shooter".
As a sidenote, all these positive reviews on the store page are fake. HEDE always buys fake reviews for their games so never trust any of them.
