He only lasts a quarter of an hour, but he agrees. Spray n ‘praynew independent FPS available for free on Steam, has posted a perfect note of 100 % positive reviews since its launch. At the origin of this small phenomenon? A student project developed with passion and an explosive tribute to the classics of the genre.
In this assumed retro aesthetics game, you embody an armed priest to the teeth, responsible for serving the earth of demons and other fallen celestial entities. The concept can make you smile, but the execution bluff from the first seconds. The official description also sums up the atmosphere perfectly: “Armed with your double emblematic revolvers, you will trigger a storm of fair bullets while mastering fluid movements; dashes, race and hand -to -hand strikes that reduce the distance between you and your enemies”.
10 minutes of pure and hard fun
Where Spray n ‘pray Instantly seduced, it is in its frantic rhythm, its nervous controls and its deliciously old school atmosphere. By merging your revolvers, you release a “divine weapon” capable of triggering a rain of purifying balls. And if a demon approaches a little too much, a well -placed hand -to -hand strike is enough to put it back in its place.
Despite its ultra short duration – about 10 minutes of play – the returns are rave. A player comments: “This game is great if you are a fan of games like Doom or Ultrakill”. Another adds: “Incredibly fun to play, with a really interesting concept and universe”. Most criticisms also welcome his visual and sound identity, and his immediate gameplay: “A reminder of what a real video game is. I would have liked it to be much longer”.
Some faults, but unanimous enthusiasm
Certainly, everything is not perfect. Some voices report minor technical concerns. Among them: “He is obviously strongly inspired by Doom, and he does it pretty well. However, for a Boomer type shooting game, limiting the number of images per second to 30 is a real blasphemy”. Others regret the absence of video parameters or low -hand frame reductions.
But nothing that really spoils the experience, especially since the game is completely free. In 10 minutes, Spray n ‘pray manages to vibrate nostalgic for the old -fashioned FPS, while establishing themselves as a refreshing and daring proposal.
Available now on Steam, this little gem developed by students from the Vancouver Film School clearly deserves the detour. If you have a quarter of an hour before you, no need to hesitate: there are demons to exorcise.
