You can tell the devs love Old school FPS and video games in general. Tons of cute little touches that show a deep knowledge of the genre they are lovingly spoofing. Worth it at full price

This a fantastic 90s inspired first person shooter. Combat is smooth and enjoyable and weapons are fun and effective allowing for multiple playstyles. Think of it as both an homage to, and satire of, Duke3D.

I've been playing games for 50 years. I've play tested games on Steam and left advice for those developers that was taken into consideration. Some of those games were made by one person. Those games made by one person were vastly worse than Brutal John 2. The gameplay is tight, the level design is good, the mentioned 90s (or rather early 2020s) humour is entertaining with a few minor things that are cringe: Seeing a certain someone crushed by gears in a bin + a well timed quip by the main character is peak, while directly verbatim have him say Duke Nukem lines is cringemaxxing. The team should be more proud&confident about their own humour, because they have the essence figured out. Otherwise the Key Features are explained well on the store page, if you're intrigued by this game. I fully recommend getting it.

This game is a silly parody of popular 90's shooters, mostly Duke3d. It's worth the $10. All the typical tropes are here. Barely coherent story. Dumb manly man hero. Overpowered weapons. Bunnyhopping. Secrets. Interactive environments. Exploding barrels. 90's game references. Serious Sam levels of ammo/health/armor right before over the top ridiculous boss fights. Remember to not take this game seriously and you'll have a good time. As an example the name itself is a joke. There was never a "Brutal John 1". "Brutal John 2" is this same game renamed to "2" during early access. I'm hoping they rename the game to "Brutal John 3" when the full release goes live just to mess with people more. This is they type of humor the devs have and I love it! In the final spaceship level be sure to enter the DO NOT ENTER door for a surprise guest appearance lmao. I also love the addition of "The Vault" which unlocks after the main campaign. You can listen to the OST from inside the game in the vault (many 90's games such as the first C&C and Redneck Rampage had interactive music players built into the game!) in a recreation of an old interactive cd-rom running on Windows 95.

Thumbs up, but getting kinda mixed part way through. Where is this money suppose to go? There's not even an upgrade for each weapon, extra ammo to buy, or other upgrades, something man. Most of the mini games are the same and secrets barely give rewards. I don't need more money that I can't spend on something interesting.
