Like the game as an idea, but we need a story and levels full of M E M E S to really make the game shine.

OK so I have 16 mins of this game and I didn't even get to play it I'm not saying the game ran on it own I'm saying is that all the problems that I have with it and all the problems I have with it was it just won't start fist I got my old computer to play this game first after 5 mins I was done installing I pressed play ans it said It need ur4 to start I was like ok and let it do it thing then it said it cant install ur4 then I got on my new computer installed it now it giveing me a new problem fist off your game sound not need you to install stuff like this it should just run without add thing I wan't to play this game and injoy it but because I have to have 100 thing installed in my computer I can't I wan't to play and like this game but l can't so if the developer of this game is reading this have the game run on it own and don't have your buyer have to add 100 thing on there own so they can play a game that they should already be installed that it I might refuned it later but I hope the maker of this game is able to make this game run with out the buyer doing what should already be installed in the game software or files.

This game's been out 10 months and the only content added is a single new map, you can't find or change weapons anywhere in the levels and the characters while funny get boring after a while.
Sure I get this is a funny game but for about 30 seconds then the novelty wears off. If this game receives updates and becomes a proper wave survival game based off the NPC meme I'll be down but right now I can't recommend it.
TL;DR
Game not really feature complete
Becomes stale and boring quickly
No variety in what you can do
Kind of a dead meme on release
Not worth the low asking price of £2.09 (get it on sale if you really want this shit)

A very good FPS. The various character selection is great. The Chad however is too weak, he should be buffed to his realistic power. One criticism I have of the game however is that there should be a high score system that counts the highest kills you've gotten on a specific character.
Remember kids, Orange Man bad.

I'll be honest: I got this game for shits n gigs, and you will too.
-Gameplay is a boring and repetitive circle strafe shoot reload bit - regardless of which character you pick
-Characters are a bit underdeveloped if you were going for something beyond a few voice lines done by what sounds like the same guy over and over (that includes the godawful Terminator effect the NPCs voice lines have)
-Maps are fucking huge and lack everything - both are giant boxes with like 3 or 4 obstacles. If this was some sort of commentary on how the NPCs would live in areas devoid of anything reminiscent of normalcy I suppose I get it, but it doesn't stop it from looking unfinished.
-The weapons made me furious. All of them lack basic animations like reloading, firing, etc. Again, if this was social commentary of "just buy it you dumb fucks" Then haha, you got me, fucker.
All in all, the game was good for maybe like 5 minutes of fun... Maybe. I feel like it would've played out better if it had been a DOOM wad like other endeavors of its kind (i.e. pol.wad or MOON.wad) I think if the appropriate amount of time was put into it, you could get a pretty decent Invasion game going. Unique characters with individual speeds and gun pickups, unique voice lines, and a fucking huge plethora of NPC skins, reskins, re-reskins, and fighting styles (or a lack thereof, if you pleased.)
5/10 Piece of shit unfinished game but got me to shell out for it so they win.

Well, this game is not really finished, and it probably won't ever be.
This game was either concieved by someone who heard about the NPC meme a few months ago, and then made a crappy game to capitalize on a dead meme, or someone who browses 4.chan regularly and thought it would be a good idea to reveal his power level.
Either way, this game is just not worth 5 dollars- maybe 2.99, but not 5.
There's no way to change the screen resolution, so if your monitor doesn't do 1920x1080, don't expect to be able to see all of the UI. Speaking of UI, its not great. The HUD has inconsistantly styled fonts, and some of it just doesn't look like it took more than a few seconds to place.
Sure, the NPC's are funny, and make political correctness look silly, but the core gameplay is pretty bland, and gets boring immediately. The voice acting wasn't terribly great either, and the graphics in general look very cookie cutter "free game developer kit."
Bottom line; 5 dollar games exist in relatively large numbers, and many of them are enjoyable. This game isn't really making a decent contribution to that list, and the developers should either knock the price down, or make the game worth playing.

NPCs is a first-person shooter game that aims to embody the humorous NPC meme, as well as bring attention to the growing trend of silly political correctness in all forms of media.
[b]Pros[/b]
[list]
[*]Accurate portrayal of NPCs and their hoarde mentality upon spotting deviance from their cult-like norms
[*]The ability to shoot said NPCs down
[*]Different player characters, each with their own weapon and their level of skill in operating said weapon. Accurate examples include:
[list]
[*]The virgin can't reload his weapon quickly enough and gets killed by the NPC hoarde
[*]The Chad has a dual-barrel automatic machine gun and does not require reloading, easily obliterating most of the NPC masses
[/list]
[*]Able to play as an NPC to explore the map
[*]At the current time of writing this review, the game developer is working on constant updates to the core gameplay, and also on leaderboards & achievements
[/list]
[b]Cons[/b]
[list]
[*]Lack of objectives in game except to shoot down NPCs. While entertaining in its own right, it gets old fast
[*]HUD is simple and mediocre
[*]Voice acting, while hilarious, can get spammy and grating (Esp if NPCs are in great numbers and in close proximity, like real life)
[/list]
To summarize, I recommend buying this game if you enjoy bringing harm to NPCs and not suffer a stiff prison sentence, and also if you find stupidity in the situation that modern society has placed itself in by accepting, instead of institutionalizing, IRL NPCs.

> virgin is actually able to kill someone
> chad is actually able to die and doesn't have minigun-grenadelaunchers as weapons
>Doomer doesn't smoke, cry or commit suicide
>zoomer doesn't have the ability to quickscope. even comments on this in-game
>Orange man's Ar-15 isn't red, white and Blue, no nuke button
> Boomer and Brainlet are pretty accurate though
7/10 would shoot up commies in a gun-free zone again

As a straight white male Doomer, this is the most accurate representation of our modern society
