I can finally review this game. Read if you need a fix for input lag and stuttering
First off, most importantly, here's a fix for input lag and stuttering: https://gtm.you1.cn/app/2005010/discussions/0/4347744104503857554/

As I was saying, I can finally review this game because it finally runs smoothly after assembling that configuration above. Before, this review was negative because I couldn't play the game, it was constantly stuttering, input lagging and massively framedropping.

Review of the game
Old school arena-like first person shooter. Shoot, run, dodge, use the right weapons, understand enemy patterns. The gameplay is fast, probably not very fast for me, but it's definitely fast, as long as you "sprint" all the time. I like both the style and the gameplay, although I prefer disabling pixelation and the retro color threshold, I just don't like those. FOV also feels a bit weird, mouse sensitivity has deceleration unless you manually tamper with ini files (fix above).

I can give this a 7/10 because I had to fix input lag, stuttering and mouse sensitivity on my own.
It would have been a 8.5/10 if developers were able to fix these problems instead, which is what customers expect.

Review changed to positive, read if you need an actual fix for input lag, stutters and weird mouse movements.

Well, I have a i5 10400f and rtx 3060 oc, it dips down to 30 fps during heavy fights. Sometimes when there is only 1 enemy around shooting fire balls.

I blocked trollers and deleted their recent comments so that this doesn't derail into ridiculous.

I think Lambdadelta is trolling: they don't even own the game)

@Melody I can agree with you I wouldn't call my rig overkill but I can't even have a stable 165fps without dips into the low 90's out of nowhere I had to cap the game at 90 as 120 would also dip into the 60's the game is fun however I think the performance is being ignored cause most reviewers online have like 4090's

@Lambdadelta

You're just plain straight ridiculous and claiming BS.

You might be a troller or just paid by someone, or just a fangirl, I have no idea, but I'll just say this anyway.

Have a look on Twitch, I repeat, just have a look on twitch, and literally just open a random stream, any stream, and see how it drops even down to 60 fps on overkill rigs during intense fights. No way you never dropped below 120 fps until that fight with your rig, we can all agree that your claim is just absurd.

My friend with a Ryzen 5800x and RTX 3090 dropped below 120 several times during intense fights and this is definitely not a rig issue.

Another friend is trying it right now on our rtmp server and it stutters like hell during intense fights. His rig is stronger than yours as well.

Every game, ranging from Mafia 3 and Mafia: Definitive Edition to games like Turbo Overkill and Prodeus, they never stutter and they run buttery smooth on all our rigs.

Lambdadelta, stop talking bullshit, I have a 3090, ryzen 5800x, it gives me a fucking stuttering every 5 seconds, against waves of monsters sometimes it even drops to 60 frames. sometimes it gives me an absurd input lag when so many enemies are amassed to kill perhaps you can't see the difference because you're retarded I guess

I've played up to the Lord of Change boss fight and haven't had any drops below 120fps. This isn't a competitive game, so framerates above that are just wasting processing power. Cope.

Also, please don't say that it runs buttery smooth if you're in an area with an amount of enemies that you can count on two hands. I'm mostly talking about big fights in which it becomes barely playable on overkill rigs.
