INCISION

Ow. Ow Ow. Ow ow ow ow. This is the Soulsborne of Throwback/Boomer Shooters. I would never play this for more than one level at a time.

And you know what? It's still badass.

The weapons feel satisfying, the gameplay is solid, and the art design and soundtrack are Black Metal as fuck. Basically, if you're looking for something that will test your reflexes, THIS is the game for you.

Just did a playthrough of the august demo and I love the improvements over the june one. Making movement acceleration faster and adding mouse sensitivity were the 2 things I really wanted. Maybe add an fps cap option next since I don't think everyone wants to run it at 300 (I cap mine at 60 with nvidia).

The issues I ran into were cheeks rockets seem to collide with themselves or the terrain under them so they explode right as they fire. The new pathing that lets enemies fall off ledges for ambushes makes them fall to their deaths in the first level's "reactor" room. You can get stuck by jumping behind the two yellow pipes near the end of the first level.

Keep up the good work. This game is an instant classic in my book and I can't wait for it to sit in my steam library.

So I'm having trouble downloading the demo-- my computer keeps telling me that it has a virus and not letting me install it? 

Man, this is amazing

This is going to be the next big throwback retro thing! First there was Dusk and Ion Maiden, then we have Wrath, HROT and Dread Templar in early access, then there will be Incision. I am loving this demo, especially the 2nd level.

It's brutally hard and I've died fiffillion times, but the atmosphere and the combat are absolutely top notch! Can't wait for it to hit Steam, I am sold on this fucker! Don't you go abandoning this project!

This game is really good so far, the controls are like butter, enemy models are some of the best I've seen in years - IMO better than games like Dusk or Ultrakill, and the environments are so 90s they could pass for Quake levels.  Amazing work dude, so much talent on display here.  Please, please, please finish this project and stick it on Steam or Gog, So many people would pay good money for a full game like this, myself included.  We need more games like this. Incision is the best game I've played on Itch ever.  

This happened to my screen while i was playing through the game. Had to take a picture with my phone because i doubt it'd show with print screen, but it scared the hell out of me. It was gone after rebooting my PC but I really don't think this is a good look for incision.

Hii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^

-The gameplay mechanics are really interesting, but sometimes feels like having more difficulty levels(options) could be great to make the game easier to get into at least on the first steps you take into the first level.

-The game visually it's outstanding and has a lot of personality.

-The game flow it's really amazing as despite of dying many times the game feels quick and fluid on every part of it's gameplay.

In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it. Hopefully this is useful for the development :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards

Great Game! Pitty i cant adjust music volume in the demo!

Otherwise i love it! Do you need a level Designer?

Please check my work if you do!

Love this game! The aesthetics are incredible and I've been enthusiastically watching development on twidder. My one gripe is; could you please add mouse sensitivity settings? Also you can walk thru the first gate in map01 and grab the machine gun before you can press the lever.

Very promising start you have here. I didn't get all the way through the demo (though I assume the room I got to with all the spiderpopes on the platforms was probably either the finale or close to it) but I had a pretty good time with it as far as I got. Encounters feel very fast and lethal, almost like how I imagine FEAR would be without bullet time and hitscan enemies. The visual style is already fantastic; it succeeds at being both very oppressive and having a good color palette, and I'd say you even out did DUSK's industrial areas. Some criticisms and suggestions I have:

1. When you flip switches it wasn't that well sign-posted WRT what area you opened up. It wasn't a very big deal in this demo, because the opened up area was never more than one or two rooms away, but it could end up being a problem in future levels so I figure it's worth thinking about.

2. I think the new shotgun model is good, but in the middle of combat when you're keeping your eye on other parts of the screen it can be easy to mistake it for the MG. Sometimes I would mistake which one I had equipped and use it in a less appropriate situation. If you didn't want to make a whole new model for one of them, I think adding a bit more color to spots on the MG might help; maybe put some green on the tips of the crosshairs, or if you wanna get really fancy you could put a little transparent window on the ammo drum that shows the bullets inside.

3. Concerning this demo level in particular, I think that the place I died (the bouncy spiderpope room) could use at least a small ammo (and maybe health) drop before your go in. I totally ran out before I'd managed to kill any of them. I think I saw a couple scraps of it laying around the bottom of the room but it was hard to reach while being chased by the ground enemies and dodging the homing missiles.

4. The role of the robo-spiders seems a bit redundant with that of the soldiers. Perhaps instead of shooting straight projectiles, then could fire arced ones with a larger hitbox, and maybe stand still while they're firing as well.

5. You mentioned in a reply to another comment that you're struggling to come up with a good secondary fire for the MG. What if it let you use 2 or more rounds to fire a single more powerful shot that has a slower firing rate, like an analog to the magnum in Half Life?

Still havent beaten it yet, the difficulty makes it challenging and addictive, love the dithery graphics and gritty industrial-apocalypse aesthetic, sweet and fitting soundtrack. Pretty clear influences that prove good taste from the dev, it seems inspired by quake, half-life, maybe dusk. I did notice a few odd things, the shotgun has a horizontal spread, which is fun if your enemies are all horizontal but is strange otherwise, as soon as you start the game you're punching again and again until you click to punch, picking up weapons doesn't equip them and the hud doesn't indicate what you have for weapons, and i think it would be easier if the mouse wheel could loop through weapons as well as the number keys. I also personally found the hud a bit ugly and half-life-like. to end, i thought it was great and would love to see more of it
