hit registry go brrr

The greatest writing in any fallout game by far, unfortunately the graphics and gun play dont really hold up too well in 2022 but its still worth the $7 for the ultimate edition.

spend 45 minutes looking a bunker only to be shot the instant you open the front door

pain

would be a great game if there was an anticheat.

great game, sadly the devs have given up though.

$20USD for this game is fairly rough given the state, that being said though, i do believe this game has great potential considering the story it follows is the SCP-5000 plot which (imo) is one of the best SCP tales. personally i'd suggest waiting another year before grabbing this though.

its probably best to do a pro v con so

PRO:
- decent weapon customisation (more to come too)

- SCP-5000 is an amazing story so its safe to say that the story will be great once its fully implemented.

- the colour tone works really well for SCP

- the firearms feel nice despite sounding like airsoft rifles

- a coop SCP shooter is an amazing concept & this game implements it well.

-SCP-173 is implemented well (despite the lack of supporting mechanics), its faster than CB & blends with the lighting well enough to easily cause fear


CONS
-173 is the only scp

-no blinking mechanic so 173 isnt a threat

- no classic key cards, every door is just a power switch somewhere else in the room.

- linear level design

- no ambient sound (ambient sounds is what made CB so scary to me)

-game breaking bugs (falling through the ground)

- lack of servers, im literally the only person running a dedicated server in Australia so anyone in OCE is basically forced to play on my server or make their own from scratch (which no one does because it requires port forwarding etc)

- no proper save system, i died once to a foundation guard & then the game kept spawning me under the map which kills you & drained my remaining lives.. this caused the entire mission to fail and for me to lose an hour~ cause it sent me to the beginning of the entire game once i ran out of lives (3)

- guns sound fairly underwhelming. i understand that games and movies generally over-hype the sound of firearms but this is the opposite, it sounds like an airsoft gun 90% of the time & all guns sound identical.

-the AI is horrible, they take the shortest path to you no matter what, this means walking backwards and firing directly at their head is always going to be the best way to deal with every conflict, theres no dynamic feeling to the combat. the guards also have fkn aimbot, i got one tapped in under a second from across the canal by a guard who was walking through a door (like 200m away) using a m9. the devs have said that an AI overhaul is nearby though so i'll give this a pass for now.

- lack of direction, as i said before the game has pretty linear level design, its mainly hallways or big open rooms with a lot of locked doors & one door that you're clearly meant to go to. however, at random parts of the game youll hit points where youll activate a switch but none of the doors in the room open which just leaves you sitting there thinking "is this a bug"? & the "objectives" screen doesnt hint at anything either. in reality the game wants you to back track like 4 rooms and back up some stairs to a room you previously cleared which now has a door open that you werent even aware you were trying to open..

the only reason im recommending this game is because the devs seem competent & it really feels like it has potential. in its current state though, wait for a sale OR waiting a year.

15 minutes to find where tf im meant to be going, instantly have your squad wiped & then basically just play CB cause all your items are taken and you're dumped in heavy.. oh but now theres random D class with guns that shoot on sight. also the coop isnt actually the main game, its just a bad version of cod.

tl;dr just get SCP CB multiplayer on steam, its free and better.

its a mobile game ported to pc so its pretty basic, its still a fairly fun experience besides the random moments where the camera seems to be fighting you but besides that its a pretty solid way to kill a few hours.

2 major things to note though.

1: i'd highly suggest you play with a controller and not kb/mouse.

2. the game current sells for $28 (aud) on steam but you can literally find keys online (google crash drive 3 key steam) for under 50 cents. its a total rip off at $28, but at $.50? its amazing

overall a solid 8/10 for what it is, could benefit from invite only sessions or split screen but that might be asking a lil much from a mobile game.

set game to windowed borderless or itll crash every time you alt tab.
