I thought it ran great on my PC (RTX 4080, 9800X3D).
4K, Maxed out (except Lumen), DLSS Balanced. Runs 100 fps minimum.
As long as they fix the aiming I'll be there day 1.

Seems like a cheap Doom Clone with some nice graphics. Probably AI generated. Don't think anything will be like HROT or Selaco anytime soon.

I had fun with it. Runs kinda weird on the PS5 Pro

I read the complaints here about the X axis acceleration and I have to agree with those complaints. There are some barebones sensitivity settings and they don't help at all.
Overall it feels clunky when engaging multiple enemies and especially ones that have ranged attacks. Perhaps upgrades throughout the game could make things feel smoother and tighter during action, but in the demo it is just clunky enough to feel disappointing.
Regular grenades are mapped to R1, and Weapon Swap is mapped to Triangle on PS5. I wish that could be changed. You can rip enemy cores out and use them as grenades but that is with L1 button. The cores are a large part of the gameplay loop it seems. They can be hurled as grenades, or charged and then used for a Super Punch that breaks armor on armored enemies. It was underwhelming, at least in the demo. None of that packed any oomph to it. It felt hollow.
Maybe these things will be better in the main game after some upgrades, and later level with more varied enemy encounters, but it all just feels flat and clunky in the demo. If there is a speed and intensity that they're going for, I didn't feel it.
This might be a game where the best parts are at the end once you're upgraded and whizzing around levels like a badass cyborg ninja, but as it stands the demo isn't giving me those vibes.

Tried it on PS5 Pro and yea the aim acceleration thing is weird as fuck. Does not feel good at all. Also noticed that you can have the crosshair completely to the side of an enemy and the bullets still hit the target. Do they think console players can't aim or something?

I had a lot of fun with it, guns and movements feel good, but the aim acceleration is jank and the performance had some issues, hopefully they can patch it up a bit. I think I'll pick it up on sale or something, had a nice feel otherwise and I quite like the design and visuals. The dude chatting in your ear is annoying though, just sprouts non-stop pretentious crap all the time.

I had fun with this demo, it's kinda rough but feels like Doom Lite, I hope they polish the visuals and framerate but it runs fine enough to not be too much of a bother

What are you guys talking about? It's already quite Polish-ed. It's developed in Warsaw.

Good news! The devs just announced on Twitter/X that they're listening to feedback and are committed to fixing the major issues reported in the demo build.

I loved it. Easily buying this one at some point. A huge step up from Ruiner.

Calls this game a "cheap Doom clone with nice graphics" then compares it with two cheap Doom/Quake clones with shitty graphics....
I don't even...

I don't even either considering the movement and systems are much more refined in both HROT and Selaco then the jank that's present in this game's demo. It controls very badly. You can get a much bigger game with this style of gameplay with Rage 2.
At least you know it's a cheap Doom Clone instead of a good one. Cheers.
The Demo was worth a shot but I got bored after 20 minutes of fooling around.
I am not sure how much will improve with how close it is to release.

Yikes, that's all I'll say. And I have played both HROT and Selaco.

The controls were the biggest issue - but otherwise I enjoyed.

oh no... how is this still a thing?
I haven't played the demo yet but that is an instant red flag (unless it can be disabled somehow)
Interesting to see that the overall game look was much darker initially compared to how it looks in the demo. They've kept the geometry but changed the lighting considerably

It's an interesting one, the camera basically has a delay of 1 second+ until it picks up to full speed, so initial moving is 1 sensitivity value, and then after the delay it's a much faster input.
Playable, but it should not have it as its very jarring in combat and If you increase the sensitivity it increases both of these values together, so they both get faster but never match and you can't turn it off.

yup, that sure sounds like aim acceleration... the fact that this is still even a thing is mindboggling to me... I mean as an optional thing, ok... but this should have died after the PS2 gen.
we live in a time where brand new shooters on controller have worse analog aiming than fucking Quake on N64, and that is insane.
when Quake remastered released on current gen, it in fact also had extreme aim acceleration AND deceleration, and had thereby objectively worse controls than on N64 where it has neither
at least they patched it after a lot of backlash.

I noticed some weird stutters playing this and I noticed that you cant turn off motion blur which is ewww. A doom clone is cool. I think the world is more important for something like this and then of course good enemy variety.
