This could be a great game, but it got ruined by fail gameplay and wrong physics. The weapons has no weight at all, you don't feel the difference more than the firing speed on each one. Its choppy, you can't move straight and the enemies are practically cardboard with a little animation.

It is a shame that such a cool theme, graphics and art goes into the waste due to fail programming skills.

This game is very unusual. It's a 3rd person shooter, with pseudo tuck and roll mechanics of Gears of War, but you'll never need them because the game has the actual mechanics of a Quake 3 engine game.

The more damage you do to enemies the more you can power up your weapon, heal yourself, or power up your shields. Which is a unique mechanic in the game.

The gunplay is just bad. The game has little to no destruction physics unlike what you'd read on the front page of the game description. The enemies are uninspired, and most just run mindlessly at you.

The game's engine is finicky, and is horribly optimized.

I really only got this because I'm into steampunk fantasy, so only the most hardened fans of steampunk should get this, or fans of cheesy first person shooters. Otherwise you should leave it alone.

Steam Slug is one of those games which isn't particularly bad, but at the same time isn't really that good either. It's a 3rd person shooter which for the most part, dodgy translations and the odd glitch aside, is pretty competently done.

And that's about the best you can say for it. The enemy types are fairly limited, weapon selection is the regular checklist (pistol, shotgun, machine gun, rocket launcher, you get the picture) and the boss battles pretty uninspired. There's nothing in here to make it stand out or grab your attention; yes the steam punk style is a little unusual but it's purely a cosmetic wrapper.

In conclusion, it might entertain you for an hour or two, but it's not going to enthral anyone for long.

Well, this is another game that had so much potential but felt rushed or slapped together.. Graphically, this game is gorgeous - sitting still at least. The art style is quite good and the steampunk flavor is well represented. That's about it for the praise, unfortunately. The game runs choppy, and playability is impacted more than it should be for the level of visual complexity this game delivers. The special effects are a huge letdown - things that should explode in grandiose fashion merely suffer a little poof of fire, then disappear to be replaced with wildly flying debris chunks. The guns have very weak sound effects, like a popgun fired underwater. It doesn't convey any real sense of power. the enemies are largely repetitive and very very dumb. most consisting of techno zombies that come out of tubes in the ground and throw rocks at you. They look pretty cool, but its hard to figure out how the world was dominated by rock throwing zombies with bad AI.. there are some really cool looking giant walkers, and they are actually rather inimidating, but suffer from the lack of satisfaction when killed - again, no pyrotechnics worth mentioning. Bosses are cool looking - big steam powered war machines, but are actually just objects that dont move. you have to run around them blasting little turrets everywhere, and they kind of just sit there and deliver. not very involving. Thats really the problem with the game in general - there is no immersion at all. Voice acting is horrid in the English version. i really wish Russian games would give the option to have the original Russian voices with English subtitles - it would have really helped. There was SO much potential to this game, I was really very let down by it - there simply arent enough steampunk games out there, and that was the main reason i bought this, but aside from looking very impressive in pictures, it failed to deliver. its just not a fun game, and that is sad.
