this is currently $4 on steam and i'm on a personal quest to play every off-brand fps released in the 00s so i ran through this today. what a strange fucking game, especially to have released back then.
i was sold on the idea of a primarily fistfighting FPS right away, and the combat system built around that concept feels monumentally weird. you've got very limited combat options, no big strings of combos or special moves. you're gonna be doing the same set of actions to every standard enemy you encounter through the whole game, but it's only like four hours long so you don't get bored with it.
the aesthetic is really special. from moment one this game looks top to bottom really nasty in a way i respect and love. nothing feels standard here, you've got a selection of short levels that all look and feel radically different, and the NPC design feels very classic Star Wars, just crazy biology among random people with no desire to worldbuild to justify any of it.
very unique, top to bottom. not a technically "great" game but at least entertaining, never particularly frustrating or slow.
