SPRAWL

Sprawl is such a good game, the levels feel really good to wall run through with the titanfall movement and the gunplay is satisfying. absolutely loved it.

SPRAWL is a very mediocre shooter with a dull combat loop that can be easily solved by the end of the second level and won't be changed or spiced up in any way till the game's conclusion. There's no ammo economy to worry about as the enemies will drop ammo on death: shotgunners will drop shells, grenade launcher mechs will leave behind grenades, etc. Every enemy will drop health and slo-mo gauge pick ups as well, so there will be no strategizing around that either. In fact the game is so easy that 90% of my deaths were to my own grenade launcher quickswap splash damage. Every enemy attack can by avoided by simply strafing, you don't particularly need to use your slide or wall run during combat encounters either; just quick swap between shotgun and whatewer other weapon you have on hand and use slo-mo to line up headshots. Bosses are an exceptions to these rules though, but sadly they're not exceptional by any other videogame standards and all three of them can be roughly classified as a "helicopter boss". There are no predetermined difficulty settings to choose from, difficulty menu has 3 sliders instead: two of which are "enemy health" and "damage player receives" and only other one being somewhat impactful is the slo-mo bar duration. As there were no way to alter an enemy behavior or change their numbers, I simply didn't bother and stuck with the default. Weapons felt good to use with the shotgun feeling particularly powerful. The only outlier and a downright bad weapon is a minigun that has a grave sin of slowing you down to speeds where you can't otrun an enemy fire anymore but doesn't provide enough firepower to kill things fast enough in return. Levels in SPRAWL are very linear and design-wise encourage a rushdown approach to complete them. It all would be fine in my book, but somehow the map designer managed to make them very confusing at the same time. SPRAWL usually uses the color red to guide you through it's levels, but sometimes the proper path is highlighted by a green health pickup or a yellow arrow on the wall in ways I would call baffling. In fact, there's an easy and very obvious way to softlock yourself on a penultimate level if you won't follow the intended path. Overall I wouldn't call the map desigh bad, but it certainly feels very amateur-ish at points. The other problem is that wallrunning doesn't feel good, main character just sorta floats near walls and can reattach herself to them after a jump to go into another float a couple of times. The thing that absolutely ruins this mechanic is that after you jump off the wall, you will keep your momentum but can easyly cancel it and overcorrect your movement by simply pressing a directional key, it's hard for me to put it into words how bad this actually feels in game, it just feels very floaty and weightless and needs to be experienced to actually be understood. The visual design is inspired by GitS and it is very apparent. So if that's your thing, the game has this going for it, I guess. Also it runs great which in this day and age, sadly, is not a given. At the end of it I don't particularly dislike SPRAWL, but in my opinion at it's best it is just a painfully dull game that can help you to kill a couple of evenings.

Pretty good old school fps with bullet time and platforming. Sadly it has no quick saving/loading though.

good game, fun shooting/wall running, good soundtrack. I wasn't really connecting with it at first, so I took a break for a few days and beat Trapang2 instead lol. Then coming back to Sprawl after playing that, the combat started to click for me. I recommend doing something similar if it's not clicking for you at first too. Landing a sick wall running jump with a slo-mo head shot is pretty dope

Great game! I had an overall extremely good experience! This game is what I like to see in boomer shooters, ones that don't have an extreme amount of depth to them like Ultrakill (ILY ultrakill <3), sometimes I just want to be handed an arsenal and tear shit up. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the singleplayer FPS genre. TY for making this game! <3

The story is noce but that gameplay man jesus is it good But my only complain is that the wallruning can sometimes ruin your parkour run because you just kinda glue yourself to it

Fun little shooter. Good Punchy electronic music. Some wall runny slowy timy heady shooty. Whats not to like. Get it, would benefit from a vertical wall run not only horizontal wall runs ! Edit After 6.5h Very Satisfying!

It's a good game, and that's about it. It's not gonna blow you away, but it plays well. It looks great, there's good enemy variety and the gunplay is satisfying. Story is very generic and most codex entries make no sense. Soundtrack was not really memorable. The movement is..odd, it's like it wants to be a movement shooter but doesn't fully commit to it. Despite all this, I found the game to be enjoyable. If you're a fan of the cyberpunk aesthetic, then try this game, it's not half bad.

Slick movement, nice shooting, beautiful visuals.

I've seen Sprawl compared to Turbo Overkill, and I don't think that's strictly a fair comparison. I wound up playing one right after the other, Turbo first and Sprawl second, and both of them have landed a spot among my favourite boomer shooters for different reasons. While the presentation and gamefeel is what made me fall in love with Turbo Overkill, Sprawl is, first and moment, about the tech. You can cancel out of intentionally-lengthy weapon animations by swapping, you can escape slow effects by b-hopping, recoil can be used to get air, sliding into a jump gets you more distance, it has a wall run that's finnicky and demanding but EXTREMELY powerful when used appropriately, the list goes on. The combat, at its core, is fairly simple, but the tech is what keeps it exciting, and when it clicks, it makes you feel like the angel of death the story hypes you up to be. It's on the short side, I found the ammo economy a little irritating (enemies must be killed with a headshot to drop ammo, and they will only drop ammo for their weapon, meaning you can easily lose tools) and the wall run might be [i]too[/i] powerful for the level design (I sequence broke it twice, one instance, in Open Air Sickness, required me to restart the level) but the way Sprawl's ordinarily-punishing combat rewards mastery of its movement with unbelievable carnage is second to none. If you like Titanfall-style movement and are willing to put up with a some mild lack of polish in exchange for a demanding power fantasy that doesn't outstay its welcome, you can do a lot worse than Sprawl.

I picked this game up on a whim and finished it in one sitting. Titanfall like movement with wall running and crouch sliding, and doom eternal style weapon switching

Excellent. Very good experience with mobility and combat. Only issue is that the first boss is an absolute bullet sponge.

A solid, tightly-tuned boomer shooter with some fun wall-running mechanics, awesome weapon selection, and an absolute killer sound design. Also, not a super long game, but still a perfect length for sitting and playing through over a few sittings!

good goin fast and good shootin stuff

This boomer shooter is perfect for me. others complain about penalty of different weapon arsenal but i love the balancing. Beat it on default difficulty. Other boomer shooter movement is just TOO FAST for my liking when my aim is already bad. you got bullet time and pretty much always on air or sliding. Died few times because of my habit of taking cover, getting cornered, zig-zag dodging. the trick is 'squaring the room' with your parkour ability. Soundtracks very fitting & improve the immersion. I pretty much not care about the story. Environment is unique & really loves when its outdoor location. Really cant wait for SPRAWL 2. Beat it on my first time playthrough, 2nd time for completing achievements; which is very rare (means its very good). I would recommend these 'similar games', but some of them basic movement is just TOO FAST for me, but you might like it better: Bulletstorm, DOOM 2016, DOOM ETERNEL, SELACO, ULTRAKILL, TURBO KILL, TREPANG2, F.E.A.R Series

Short but enjoyable. Very similar game play to the Doom series

Still going through the game but fun so far, update once I finish it.

Often I'd try shooting my guns and my guns won't shoot til I click MOUSE 1 three to five times. It's needs to be fixed

Não achei o jogo excelente, mas gostei bastante e me diverti. Vale a pena para quem gosta desse tipo de fps

Loved this game!! Was soo good and fun to play. Gonna miss going into this game blind.

Fun arcade game
