unlabelledView post →I worked on the VFX for this game so I have a biased attachment to it. However, it did not start that way. My first experience with this game was the demo released 2 or so odd years ago, and I speedran it until I couldn't stand the sight of it. Now, with tons of polish, every stage, cutscene, music track all in this as they should be, it's an unforgettable romp. Play this ♥♥♥♥ dude it's just that damn fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation is what Duke Nukem 3D would look like in Spongebob's universe. A fast, silly, violent cartoon FPS about a rampaging pirate with a shotgun for an arm. Only a few hours long (with a replayable arcade mode) but with amazing energy and some fantastic music.

unlabelledView post →I'll admit, I'm biased. I've known the team a long ass time, I love Captain Wayne, and I was a tester for most of development. That being said, this is one of the best shooters I've played in a very long time. The combat is fast and fluid, the music is some of the best, and the art for both regular gameplay and the incredible cutscenes is just delicious. Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation is a genuine piece of art, that I think is more than worth your time, especially for the price. Long…

unlabelledView post →Caveman tl;dr at the bottom This game has no equal. Generally speaking there's always an indie title out there ingrained with the same kind of oozing passion, but the sheer bombastic, over-the-top, nonsensical and badass aura of Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation truly takes the cake. The namesake himself feels like Duke Nukem's estranged brother, which goes to show a likable character in the same vein is a matter of execution; not substance, and that the droolers holding onto the nukem IP…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Captain Wayne is an amazing, fast-paced and cartoony FPS game that feels like you're playing a cartoon. There's a treasure trove of fun and unique weapons to fill your arsenal with as you fight through swarms of questionably-humanoid mercenaries that all want you dead. Not to mention the actual treasure lying in wait in the endless mode. 10 dollars is a steal for a game packed with this much charm, engaging gameplay, and incredible music. With that said, why are you still standin' around,…

unlabelledView post →Good boomer shooter. Last boss kinda sucks, and for the love of GOD add subtitles. The music, while kickass, completely drowns out the dialogue in the mix and I literally cannot hear anything anyone says during gameplay. Entire conversations and monologues are drowned out by gunfire and music.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game, but not for me. My reflexes and nerves are too rusted for something this high-octane, but if you're looking for a fast, cartoony FPS game with a fun lead, then you're sure to appreciate Cpt. Wayne. This definitely leans more towards the "frantic" type of shooter, where you're scrambling for a bunch of health/armor pickups amids enemies firing from all directions like you're sprinting across no man's land; you are (probably) expected to take a lot of hits and heal them up with…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutely incredible. I learned about it's existence a few months ago, and I loved how it looked. Playing the full release now, I can say that my expectations for this game were highly exceeded This game is AMAZING. Everything is so incredibly detailed, and there are so many things about this game that I have genuinely never seen in other FPS games, such as the fact that if you kill an enemy in water, their body will float. And the boxing guy is so unique, he actually encourages…

unlabelledView post →Captain Wayne was confirmed by the developer to be asexual and aromantic. Thus, Captain Wayne is, canonically, an LGBTQ+ icon. -A rather short, but incredibly quality-dense nautical-themed shooter with tons of character. The gameplay is incredibly mobile and fast-paced, akin to Doom or Quake. -A lot of enemy variety relative to how few maps there are, but I wouldn't have complained about one or two more weapons to use. -The soundtrack. Kicks. Ass. Or booty, rather.

unlabelledView post →Where do I begin? I have never had this much fun playing a DOOM styled game quite like Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation. The humour, the gameplay, the artstyle? Absolutely perfect. It reminds me of the good ol' days of newgrounds and Lupin the III. I would rather play Captain Wayne than the current selection of AAA games as of 2025 because the game is that fantastic to play. I would love a sequel to this game, if so please let me voice act a character? (a man can dream) the only…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chadptain Wayne gave every triple A release a huge headway and still was game of the year within a minute due to the tutorial level voice over. This outlandish GZDoom creation already had won me over with the incredibly charming early Newgrounds-esque cutscenes, but it was the absolute insanity of the combat that just took it that extra step forward. This game has PERSONALITY to spare, an hugely energetic feel to everything, and lasts as long as it has to before it outwears the welcome. And if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game rules. Downloads fast, installs fast, plays fast, and ends quickly. It's inexpensive, it's funny, it's well balanced, it has a good endless mode, and manages to stand out in a crowded genre. Pretty easy to recommend. I wish it had some more interactivity with the environment. Seems like the perfect kind of game for that sort of thing. Also, some of the cutscenes have really bad audio. To the point where I could not understand what was being said. But that's pretty minor. This isn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tested for this game. Captain Wayne is fast, funny, and as hard as you want it to be as you can quicksave whenever. Absolute steal at ten dollars, too.

unlabelledView post →This game feels like some vague memory of a Saturday morning cartoon from my childhood that only I seem to remember and only ran for one season. It feels nostalgic. Would love to get more Captain Wayne in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a ridiculous barely coherent ride of utter on-screen chaos. Captain Wayne and the rest of the characters have such a fun charm to them thanks to their over the top personalities and voice acting that sounds like they were recorded on a Walmart microphone in someone's bathroom, and I mean that in the most complimentary sense I can give. Cutscenes are incredibly low-res, YouTube compressed to hell and back, and barely have any frames of animation to them, which is such a hilarious contrast…

Outside of the nice krunchy aesthetics and hand drawn voiced cutscenes - With the way the game controls - a lot of the level design is really smartly put together, to allow yourself to maximize the fun of said control scheme. -And Somehow despite how much ♥♥♥♥ happening and how many things are flying at all times constantly on screen. the game also never really looses visual clairty outside of 1…
