This is the kind of game where you look back to the price before making a review. Well, I can confirm - it's (very) good value for money, even full price. Is it perfect? No. It's not even always good. In fact it has every bit of the flaws you'd expect from a solo A game dev trying to look like an AA studio is trying to make an AAA game. And you know what? Close enough, if you're well disposed toward Half Life 2, slavic jank edition. The story is ass, but it has more charm than any pompous Far Cry drama. The tech is dated, but it's fast, crisp and stable in ways STALKER 2 can only ever dream to be. The gameplay is overseen and basic, but it's very basically satisfying. You click on things, they explode in gibs, it's quite nice. Sometimes there's a boss which doesn't bust your balls to much once you figure which weapon tickles their fancy. At the end you have to scumbag save like a mad man for the grand final, like an old call of duty. Cute. And then (15h for me) the credit rolls. So ok, it's just one Russian guy for the most part. Then you see his top donors, in rouble. Oof. Man, this game was made on nothing but slavic passion and probably a decent amount of smokes. It's hard not to love that. Anyway. Vladik Brutal. Not a must play but if like me you'd rather play retro shooter that at least look visually modern and can stand ye old corridor shooter campaign, he's your guy.

absolute old school spirit, with a lot of jank. "Russian Half Life" is not really the worst descriptor for this game. i found myself woefully addicted to this though just from the gameplay and level design alone. the physics based puzzles were interesting, if a bit repetitive with the batteries, and the fights were all really well paced, bar one of the last ones which frankly had too many enemies that it becomes an overwhelming gauntlet that requires either RNG or cheats due to how item spawns work. overall though, it feels like a game made by a guy with a vision and an idea of good game design. a lot of the encounters are well paced and don't overwhelm you too much, there are a lot of interestingly designed levels, some with unique gimmicks, and gameplay is the bombastic "play what you got" type shtick. it really leans into old school gameplay dynamics with each enemy playing differently, but not having counters be so riggid that dealing with them becomes annoying and unfulfilling. it's a kind of arcadey stupid fun that i wish more games dared to offer. most modern games seem to have to be designed with some deeper gameplay purpose or have to have a particularly engaged combat loop, but Vladik Brutal just gives you the toys and says "go half fun". if you're expecting each tool to be purpose built, you're going to be a bit disappointed. honestly, i wasn't expecting much of anything out of this game. even watching gameplay, i only saw a janky indie shooter with bad enemy models. the more i played, the more i wanted to play. the more i wanted to dig deeper into the gameplay and experiment with it. i got it on sale, but this is well worth more than even the basic price of admission. 12 bucks is definitely a good deal on this game, and though the story wasn't particularly riveting, i found it complementary enough to the carnage on screen, which is enough for me. if you're apprehensive about this, and just want an old school dumb fun shooter that feels unbalanced in some of the best ways, please play this. the gameplay overall is tight but fun, very free form, but doesn't pigeonhole you into playing too specifically. the gunplay is punchy, the enemies are diverse and interesting in their own ways, and the level design, though somewhat basic, has some pretty good looking set pieces. it's also very lenient on resources, as the game offers dozens of caches that can pick you up any time your down. what are you waiting for? get playin!

I love a game that wears its influences on its sleeve unapologetically Vladik Brutal does exactly that, dropping nods to its Half-Life roots in memorable ways. If you're craving that golden age of game design but paired with slick, modern shooting mechanics, this is your jam. The recoil takes a moment to get used to, but once you do, It’s so damn good. The setting drips with atmosphere from dilapidated Soviet panel blocks to murky underground labs all drenched in a grim aesthetic that’s equal parts nostalgic and original. For one solo developer, the ambition here is staggering: expect 7 to 8 hours of action, puzzles, vehicle segments, platforming, and secrets galore. Yes, it's rough sometimes. Voice acting and translation can feel early access, and level design occasionally leans toward routines like "press a button, open a door." Enemy AI can be brutal and punishing. Yet none of that undercuts the core fun: fast, visceral gunplay with ragdoll carnage that feels spectacular sometimes reminiscent of FEAR with all the gory flair. The last huge battle was a bit of a pain to get through and I had to cheese it.
