Hey folks, we’re here to chat about Anger Foot, a bass-blasting FPS developed by Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital. First impressions?
Well, one of the user reviews hit a chord with me. They pointed out that the game can get a tad repetitive. You’re kicking doors and bashing gangsters repeatedly, but you know what? I like that kind of thing when it’s a well-crafted concept, like in this game.
Agreed. Speaking of gameplay mechanics, the controls were simple – kick the door, shoot whatever’s on the other side. But, isn’t the simplicity part of the charm here? The item usage focuses heavily on the footwear the player chooses, which is a unique touch.
Absolutely. The game’s environmental interactions aren’t tedious, it’s as simple as a door. Although, I appreciate the mix of kicking and shooting for the varying pace and strategy during speedruns.
And the narrative! I found the setting of Shit City to have this intense, feverish vibe. Free Lives did well to pull players into the narrative, even if it’s all rather on the nose. No-nonsense plots like this can be really engaging.
Yes, though I noticed a user pointing out an interesting critique regarding the cynical approach to corporate life throughout the game. It’s something to be aware of, but it didn’t detract from the gameplay for me.
Speaking of visual appeal, I think the game nails it. The vibrant, wild art style supported the energetic gameplay and helped establish that grungy city underworld feel. The animations were smooth on my end, especially the kicking and shooting sequences.
The sound design was a standout for me. Running through levels to the beat of a headbopping soundtrack really pushes the adrenaline levels. I couldn’t really discern much character voice acting, but the intense music and sound effects served well for the game’s vibe.
On the topic of characters, I think every anthropomorphic enemy you come across brings a unique charm. Their designs mix well with the environment and they all add something to the chaotic joy. No character development per se, they are mostly there to be kicked.
Certainly. In terms of challenge, it seems some players felt the game was too easy, like one of the reviewers? However, others mentioned the punishing nature of gameplay. I agree the AI can be manipulated, but I also think Anger Foot throws a lot at you, making it a challenge to navigate.
The replay value seems decent too, with different footwear to unlock and secrets to discover. Although, whether that’s enough to keep players coming back? That’s up to each individual.
I’d say the game’s speedrunning potential offers solid replayability. Mixing up strategies, optimizing times – it’s always a satisfying challenge.
To wrap up, Anger Foot delivers simple, energetic gameplay married with vibrant visuals and a killer soundtrack. It’s no sprawling RPG, but for some fast-paced, kick-ass action, it’s spot-on. If you’re a fan of Hotline Miami, this game will certainly suit you.
Agreed! It’s a worthy addition to the action-packed offerings from Devolver Digital, whose knack for publishing engaging indie games shines through here.
Well said. And it’s great to see how Free Lives, a small South African studio known for BroForce, ably stepped up to the challenge.
No doubt. For those who love speedruns and action brawlers alike, Ghostrunner would be another great game to consider.
