I was browsing the Steam Summer Sale like I usually do when I came across Impaler Gold for a ridiculously cheap price. As someone who loves boomer shooters, I figured I'd give it a shot. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much—I thought it would be one of those games that's not bad, but nothing special because of how cheap it was. I couldn't have been more wrong. This game is so damn fun that I'm not even sure where to start. Impaler Gold is a fast-paced boomer shooter with two different modes, campaign and a time trial mode. The first campaign has 20 stages and can easily be finished in around 30 minutes, while the second has 16 levels and takes about 15–20 minutes. So yes, it's a short game, but it's also incredibly replayable. There are plenty of unlockable skills that change the way you play and keep each run feeling fresh. The game is challenging too, but in a fair way. It never felt frustrating to me—it always felt like my mistakes were the reason I died. There are also Hard and Nightmare difficulties if you're looking for an even bigger challenge. I haven't tried Nightmare yet, but both Normal and Hard felt really satisfying. As you play, you'll unlock new guns, but the most interesting weapon isn't a gun at all—it's the spear ability. You can summon giant spears from the ground to damage enemies, which is already pretty cool. But the best part is using them on yourself. Launching yourself into the air with your own spears feels incredible, almost like using the Gravity Gun from Half-Life, except you're constantly flying around the arena. Once you get the hang of it, the movement becomes ridiculously fun and adds a whole new layer to the combat. At the end of the day, Impaler Gold is a short, replayable, and ridiculously fun boomer shooter that costs next to nothing. If you're even remotely interested in old-school FPS games, I highly recommend picking it up. And honestly, games like this deserve support. It's made with passion, it's fun from start to finish, and it's proof that you don't need a huge budget to make an awesome game. Play it. Support developers who make games like this. 9/10

It's peak. I've never put so much time into a game. I think the graphic quality fits the game perfectly. I love the Cannon Ball/triple jump and spike combo. (Use a spike below your character, and (while) using the triple jump upgrade, it will launch you. You can become a cannon ball.)

I liked it a lot. I got my money's worth. I play on the couch with a gamepad and let's be real, a game like this is best M+K. But with the very mild auto-aim it was quite playable and I felt satisfied by the level of challenge. I thought for a fairly minimalist game there was a fair bit of depth. You have to manage heat for your single weapon (chosen at start) and the Spikes. Spikes do all kinds of neat things like let you rocket jump, and you come down with a huge stomp that does damage and shoots a forward blast of shrapnel as well. You can upgrade your weapons, body, and spikes with different powers. Just a lot of simple, quick fun.

Might look a bit crude, but it's a very engaging FPS arena shooter. The spike staff adds a lot both to your combat abilities and your arena mobility once you learn you can launch yourself high in the air with them. Having some more variation to the arena, instead of same layout with different obstacles, would be nice in case the dev plans to build on top of this game with a sequel.
