Not sure what this game wants to be

Feedback

I’ve played this game with a friend in coop and while I think it has great potential, I feel like it does not really know what it want’s to be

The core gameplay, gunplay and AI seems to be that of an action game, like Half Life, Counter Strike, CoD or even Borderlands. But the level design and setting seems to aim towards being a stealth shooter like Hitman or Deus Ex.

Currently neither is fully utilized. If it wants to be an action game, the levels should be more designed around that, having big shootout arenas that provide visual clarity and have strategic spots and map objects like explosives, drops, etc.

If it wants to be a stealth shooter, the gameplay must support this, e.g. with cover mechanics that ensure that you are unseen as long as you are behind cover, an alert system to make sure that you can hide again after being noticed (e.g. by killing an enemy before they can alert the others) and rewards for being stealthy (like rewards for not triggering any alarm, or not killing anyone but the main target).

Of course also hybrids are possible (like the aforementioned Deus Ex), but this would then require the levels to be larger to have zones for both, stealth pathways and also big shootout arenas.

But right now it does neither of those very well.

Still looking forward to this game, if it goes in either direction I think it can be a very fun game.

    I feel the same way but between an action run & gun and a tac shooter like Ready or Not. It feels like the game wants you to play it slow and tactical with breaches and coordinated teamwork. When you play it however, you can completely ignore those aspects. In fact, it almost feels encouraged to with how much easier it is to slam in and get out. Which makes you question why half the mechanics are there to begin with if engaging with them makes it much more difficult. Why bother with planning a breach or the tacmap if I can just run in and gun everyone down with less difficulty.

    I agree with you here. that it is very similar to these games. I hope the finished result will be better. I like the idea behind the game here. but it is missing something the others don't have. but yes swat-4 and rainbow six vegas - if you could take something more from there put in here the game I think it would be cool.
