Rating: β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… - Great Time Played: 1 hour Difficulty: Fiend Gameplay: - This is a "microshooter," a term the developer coined and fully delivers on. Five levels, under an hour, zero filler. It's a design philosophy as much as a game and it works because every encounter feels deliberate rather than padded. - Ammo is intentionally scarce, forcing constant weapon swapping across a flintlock, shotgun, stake gun, and magic wand. The juggling act is more engaging than any single weapon would be alone and keeps you thinking even at Fiend difficulty. - No checkpoints within levels, which at Fiend is genuinely punishing. Dying near the end of a level sends you back to the start, which sounds brutal but works because the levels are short enough that the retry loop never feels like a waste. - Each level introduces a new enemy type with a distinct behaviour. It's a small roster but it's enough for the runtime, and the cyborg goblins in the final level hit differently after everything that came before. - The environmental kills, gas cans, explosive barrels, contextual traps, are where the combat sings. Learning to use the level against the goblins is the skill curve and it's satisfying to master. Story\Dialogue: - The premise is delivered entirely through level intro screens and it's better for it. You broke into a museum, opened a chest, released goblins with a time machine. That's all you need. - Each level's setting, a city, Transylvania, ancient Greece, the future, gives the story just enough structure to make the time travel feel like escalation rather than randomness. - Dracula shows up and sings. It makes no sense and it's the highlight of the game. The absurdist comedy is pitched perfectly throughout. - The goblins themselves chant random β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯ as they come at you. It sounds like a minor detail but it contributes more to the game's identity than most games achieve with full cutscenes. Graphics\Music: - The lo-fi Quake-era aesthetic is deliberate and confident. Textures are basic but lighting does the heavy lifting, each level has a distinct colour palette that makes them feel varied. - The goblin character design is immediately iconic. Big heads, wide grin, flailing arms. - The soundtrack opens like a dark carnival crossed with a Saturday morning cartoon and stays in that lane the entire game. It's synth-heavy, bizarrely upbeat, and sets a tempo that makes you move faster than you need to. - Sound effects are punchy and satisfying in the way only retro shooters manage. The stake gun in particular sounds exactly right. Before you Play: - After you've finished, if you want more, play with Alt Weapons which are vastly different to the original. You can also play alternative versions of the same levels. - The flintlock is useless in close quarters but invaluable for detonating gas cans and barrels from a safe distance. Think of it as a remote trigger rather than a primary weapon. - There are no mid-level checkpoints on any difficulty. If you're near the end of a level and low on health, play conservatively. Dying there is far more costly than it looks.

The game is simple but fun. It's all about killing or getting killed. It's short, but considering its low price, it seems fair enough.

Playing on Goblin difficulty was a fun challenge. There are no saves and when you die you have to restart the level. I don't think you can quit and continue, I think you have to make it in one go. You'll be using every ammo and hp pickup you can find. Projectiles will hit you, there's no way around it. Achievements were a mix of level completion and a few secret locations. You'll need 2 playthroughs and the last level might break you on the hardest difficulty. If you try to run past enemies they'll follow you wherever you go, even if they're packed inside a car and you go inside a building!

I've never met David Szymanski, but he literally made this game for me. One minute, Christopher Lee's Dracula is singing at me, the next minute, I'm in Daikatana Greece. I figured I'd kinda enjoy this game going in, but it's turned out to be pretty special.
