About This Game What Is Minimized? This first-person shooter with gameplay in the style of the 90s. In the game you will have to wait a huge variety of weapons and enemies, and super-fast gameplay!My name is Vandal. More precisely - it's my nickname. Present, my name no one knows. I am a professional hacker. Hacker is whom everyone called "white hat". My goal was to find "holes" in the different systems and their elimination. But once - I was able to break the system. Not a conventional system, but a reality. As if some programmer wrote our world, and I found a bug in it. And no one would have thought that my life suddenly changed, and I'm stuck in an unknown world to me.Game features: The graphics in the style of minimalism; A huge number of different weapons and enemies; Dynamic Chiptune and Nintendocore; Fast and dynamic gameplay in old school style 7aa9394dea Title: MinimizedGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:Crystal Box TeamPublisher:Dagestan TechnologyRelease Date: 16 Sep, 2016 Minimized Download] [Torrent] A simple FPS made in one of those FPS maker engines that evokes the color/style of ZX Spectrum games.The biggest problem this game has is its controls. Mouselook and strafing causes things to go haywire, and in some cases the left mouse button wouldn't work, making it impossible to attack. In addition, ammo pickups only work for your currently equipped weapon, so you have to cycle through your weapons (in a fixed order, no selecting individual weapons) to fill ammo. Worst off, you have to find these gems strewn about every level and acquire 500,000 points worth to get past level 15. It's just a bunch of questionable decisions that I'm not sure who to blame: the developers, or the middleware they used to make this.Why play this when Wolfenstein 3D and Blake Stone exist? It doesn't do anything that those two games don't already do better, and those came out 20 years before this game did. I can't really recommend playing this unless you like being frustrated.Granted, I only paid $1 for this. Buy it if you're curious or you can't deny a cheap deal. But it's not some hidden gem or anything.. Minimized is a maze fps, this fps is really good, I'm not sure what happened in the sequel minimized 2, this is a far better game in my opinion, awesome chiptune and heavy metal music, melee weapon, better ui, I can say it was a really fun game.+awesome soundtrack+destructive envrioments+amazing gameplay10/10. This game looks exactly how the First Person Shooters would look like, if they existed back in 1980 :pThe developer calls it "minimalistic", i call it "awful".It uses like 4 colors or something?Also, i don't know why in the settings menu when you move the "graphics" slider, it changes the volume of the music instead... I guess that is part of the high class minimalistic game design too :)I totally recommended it to be played "minimized", as its name suggests.... Well this is a very flawed game. First of it's not very hard due to way to many health kits and low damging enemies. It's very repetitive, you'll be shooting the same unispiring green robots on the same looking cyan corridors over and over again. One thing I simply cannot understand is that all the weapons (also very similar to each other) use the same kind of ammo, but when you collect ammo boxes it only loads the current gun, not your ammo pool. Wouldn't it be better if each gun had it's own ammo?Finally the game whants you to collect a certain amount of energy to complete it, but it never gives you an estimate of how much is needed or how much do you have.Why am I recomending this game again?....Oh yeah, the soundtrack is surprisingaly good, with a catchy retro tune, even if it starts to get repetitive soon. I quite like the style and the colour pallete of the game, felling like a retro cyber-punk.It's also very cheap when it's on sale, and if you don't like just play it for a little while and then refund it.Or get Intrude, another retro FPS made in 2016 that's way better than this one.. 16 min play. Well its not a terribly deep game. what is it? its tron meets wolfanstine, thats what. by wolfanstine im talking 286/386 pc, early 90s game. 2.5 D LOL. its fun, run about shooting things, solve simple spacial (how the hell do I get in there) puzzles. cute 16 bit techno sound track. fast game play just right difficultly. (not to easy not to hard) buy it! you might as well its so cheep! will most likely run the cheapest of PCs.. Nice old school shooter. Reminds me of wolf 3d.. The graphics in this game are minimal, like the name and description suggest.The controls are confusing, graphics are confusing (particularly the corners of walls), story line is confusing.Text in the game is written using poor english.There is no up/down aiming, but that wouldn't matter anyways because from what i've seen, none of the stages contain more than one level/floor to them.Reminiscent of the 1990s Doom... sort of.I only purchased this game with a coupon for (maybe) $0.50Considering this fact, I don't feel like I got COMPLETELY ripped off...So far, i've played 0.2 hours of this game.It is very likely that this number will never increase.. Minimized is a retro pixel minimalist ripoff of iD Software's Wolfenstein game from the 1990's. The game does not surpass any game from over 25 years ago. It's important for game developers to begin to understand that video gaming is not a static medium like illustration, or novel writing, it grows as the technology improves, and must keep pace with that.Following on from the derivative, shameless ripoff from the 1990's, under Windows 10 the controls don't work properly (mouse movement locks the controls out), rendering the game unplayable. This is a common issue which means the developers haven't properly tested the game.I cannot recommend anyone spends $4 on an unplayble Wolfenstein ripoff, when the original is free and plays better.. Now, here's a tought. I like this game in concept, and if I'm not mistaken the engine is programmed ground up [Clarification: It's not, it's a ready engine called apparently "Raycasting Game Maker"], and all I can get behind. I also applaud the fact that the game is minimalistic as in there is nothing extra, and every once and a while, that is what I'm looking for.However... Even as there is not too many controls, I weap for AZERTY keybard users, as the keys are hard coded and cannot be changed (not hard to program in, btw), and does not even have duplicates. In example, the 'open door' key is Space, which is normal for your Wolfensteins etc, when youre using arrow keys to move, but on my WASD+mouse, I prefer that key to be E. And that said, there is interestingly a way to turn with keyboard using the arrow keys like in the good old Apogee/ID '3D' games, but you can't move forwards and backwards using arrow keys. But well, that is an issue I can (witt a WASD keyboard) cope with. Little less with the fact that you can't adjust mouse sensitivity (again, not too hard to program in).What I can't cope with is the forced resolution and apparently 15fps gaming, that causes nausea during gameplay especially if turning fast (this is a thing. This was a thing with Wolfenstein 3D also, but then it was due to real technical limitations). The resolution is something that unneccessarily obscures the game, when the enemies (that are presented by an outline) can't be seen as the pixels they are consisted with are deemed too small to render by the engine (and yes, there are levels where this is a serious issue). Now, in reality there is no reason for rendering the game in such a small resolution, since it's not too hard to stretch "bigger than" pixels without destroying the artstyle.Oh, and just to note, this game has similar ammo pickup system as Digital Homicide's "Slaughtering Grounds", as the ammo is universal, but you will pick up ammo for the weapon that is in your hand. This is never disclosed in the game (or atleast not clearly), and is a game design choise I would never stand behind, as it results people first of all learning this hard way when trying to find ammo for the better weapon, and using the backup in the progress, AND it renders the backup useless as you will never get ammo for any other weapon than what you are currently using. It also needs to be noted that in Wolfenstein 3D the ammo plicy was that it was universal ammo, but plyer was motivated to use variety just in order to conserve ammo, or opting to sheer DPS depending on situation. In this game, you will have most ammo on the weapon you have in hand, and very likely no ammo on any other weapon.TL;DR: The fps of the game causes nausea, and the options are lacking, if issues are fixed, the review will be revisited.[EDIT]: Added clarification regarding the engine.
