Usually I do just one sentence unfunny reviews, but since I got this key from the lovely duhnuhnuh's
Perpetual Steam Game Giveaway, I'll try to actually write a readable (?) text.
It's pretty rare for me to fancy a boomer shooter. As far as I recall, the only ones that I actually gave a shit about playing were the original Doom trilogy. My only reason for getting interested in this one in particular was the Szymanski name attached to it.
I expected a funny and short game about killing Goblins, and that's exactly what I got, with great gameplay and presentation. I cannot for the life of me tell what constitutes a well designed level in a boomer shooter, but I never felt claustrophobic or confused by any of the levels, and there was a great variety of themes and enemies, way more than I expected when I booted up the game. The Chop Goblins are clearly inspired by the Gremlins franchise, down to the comedic tone and tendency for unbridled chaos, and overall are just wacky little guys, there's not much to go wrong there.
One particular aspect I was surprised was by synthwave(?) inspired soundtrack of the game, having not a track in it that isn't a banger. To pair with that, the retro-inspired graphics, like most of David's games, are top notch.

one of the greatest micro fps games ive ever played, genuinely so so so much fun
Satisfying gunplay and the Greece level was appealing to me in the same way as Serious Sam's vistas. A fun time but not much to it which is sort of the point. I feel this would have been a 7DFPS entry back in the day but it's £3.99 and I don't feel the 30 minutes of gameplay was that good and replayable to be worth that.
A Short, Fun boomer shooter where you mercilessly kill Goblins with some relatively easy achievements. 8/10.
It took me 4.1 hours to get all the achievements for this game and I loved every second of it. The music slaps too. Great little game with a generous price attached to it.
Fun little game to pass an hour or two
It resembles a Quake era FPS but it is very short (can be beaten in at least an hour). Still, it's a fun playthrough and the closest to a notable Goblin Slayer game that we'll get for now.
Another Szymanski minimaster! With inspiration from old FPS games, you have to defeat the chop goblins from destroying the world. Easy to play, hard to master (kinda), and lots of insnae laughter and groovy secrets! Want to add another perfect game to your steam library? Here's a good one!
