Very bad FPS in style of 90s boom shooters. Plenty of levels and some variety makes the gameplay somewhat bearable. Not very exciting but it makes up with it's humorous approach. Hard to recommend but there you go, I've seen worse.

Very enjoyable boomer shooter in the veins of Quake and Serious Sam with fantastic synth music and varied enemy design, which makes it even more impressive it's that it was made by a solo dev. Things i really enjoyed were the music: very well made and fitting for the game's atmosphere, game's overall look and vibe, has that feel of Blood classic humor and enemies. Both of these two give the game a "handmade" feel that i find really charming. Things i wish were worked on more were the level design, i wasn't really fond of the big maps with several set pieces but i think i know why the dev did it this way which leads to the second thing i thought was half baked, enemy AI: the enemies feel to OP because of the way their aiming AI works, you literally have to keep strafing in circles to avoid being shot and keep at least 5 meters away from most NPCs so more closed, corridor maps wouldn't have worked with it. Overall pretty good game for about 2$, give it a try if you wanna see another take on the boomer shooter genre!

This game was a lot better than I expected for a buck, good 2.5 hours ish game, music is decent, graphics are fun, shooting is easy but not too bad. for a dollar its hard to complain about anything. well except it seems randomly political? only in the random billboards and names of buildings (references to "pizza gate" and "liberal business" and abortion to name a few) not sure why the developer needed to add these but just a warning. overall a cute but easy little shooter for a buck

When I finished Carnal two main things stuck with me even to this day. First is the soundtrack it has been some time since a games soundtrack really stuck with me for this long. It was built so perfectly for each level making each come to life when you step into them. The second being the football team enemy probably the last thing I expected as a player and most certainly made me jump and panic. This game is truly a nod to the boomer shooter genre and love letter as well clearly being hand crafted by the developer. It perfectly captured that feeling of the 90's era video games and even emulates the price sitting at a mind blowing $0.99 for almost four hours of game play which is almost unheard of these days. One thing that painfully stuck out to me was the anti-Semitic jokes in one of the missions. It has been talked about before and already covered, but due to these jokes I had thought of pushing Carnal down to a 7, but after much thought decided that the one mission shouldn't sway peoples enjoyment for this title. The game itself is horribly underrated and for the price its going for almost deserves more recognition. It is a quality game that really sells the nostalgia of old shooter games well. you can't get much better then Carnal in terms of quality or price when it comes to the boomer shooters of today. 8/10 Follow my curator page for more critical game reviews! https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44835038-The-Critic/

I have never seen a more self aware game, and yet, be so original. References to Doom, Half-Life, Duke Nukem, Turok, Stargate, Quake, The 90's in general, and MUCH MORE! Not to mention how hilarious this game can be. Carnal's gameplay is fluid, quick, and responsive. I'm thoroughly impressed and I have to say that making this game a buck or less is a great disservice to the quality it's hiding underneath the low poly aesthetic. It's got lore, guns, jokes, more guns, and fun. I highly recommend you play this boomer-shooter.
