FukTopia 4 Reviews

i paid 99 cents for this. it's worth 99 cents. not 25 bucks. c'mon.

Incredibly buggy mess of a game. The menu barely works and is laggy (took forever to just get to the right resolution). Can't play this with mouse and keyboard since it doesn't like two monitors, as full screen isn't real full screen. When it asked to press 'any key' it apparently meant any key not on my keyboard since nothing worked. Finally when I got to the end of the level I got stuck in a box and couldn't do anything. Don't buy this for any price.

To be clear, I'm giving this a thumbs up as a $2 game bought at 90% off. This is NOT a $20 game by any stretch of the imagination. Fu*Topia 4 (really? Your game name breaks the comment filter?) is an FPS roguelike that has you clearing procedurally generated levels of bad guys where one hit ends your run. The game is very simple -- there's only two types of baddies, a four armed melee brute and a floating eyeball that shoots you, and the only weapon is a revolver that fires shotgun shells (not in a spread, just that the ammo icon is a shotgun shell). Enemy pathing is sketchy but that's usually to your advantage. The visuals are intentionally glitchy and grainy which works well, the sounds are fine and the game play amusing for short doses. The sort of game you'd play for ten minutes at a time just to kill a few moments. Weirdly, the game says it's single player only on the store page but the game makes you start a server instance to play. Why? I dunno.
