We are here to gather and cultivate something that will expand our senses and turn on our ultra instincts to be able to please our master, Mr. Cr1tical and look at the horizon to try to catch the big money fish in the sea. To all speedrunners, let's turn on our gears now. Gotta Go Fast - me (speedrunnerering) Important note: Bought this game for $1 (Go buy it on GreenManGaming since it's discounted for 90% off at this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since Exodus From the Earth is on sale once again, I guess it would only help people's decision out if I posted this. The moment that you start playing, the first thing you'll notice is how bland the graphics are and how bad the voice acting is. To it's credit, however, it came out almost six years ago, but the voice acting goes unexcused. So it's only right to give it the benefit of the doubt and ignore first impressions. Unfortunately, that's the least of the game's problems. What I noticed…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy old school FPS, but this game was very frustrating. The recoil is ridiculous, enemies spawn out of nowhere and shoot you from across the map, and it's often confusing as to where to go or what to do. Getting through the game requires constant use of quick-save/quick-load, because you'll constantly die. The only things it has going for it are decent graphics, level design, and game length, but they don't compensate for the awful gameplay. Unreal 2, Chaser, and Red Faction are far better…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why is there no option to rate the game as "just about average" instead of just "Recommended" and "Not recommended" ? because this game is just that. I can't say it's horribly bad, but i also can't say it's great either. First i had to combat errors even before i actually started shooting things: http://rejzor.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/how-to-fix-exodus-from-the-earth-game-steam/ ...because the game refused to run. After i fixed it, i had to manually assign the UAC to the game EXE so i could…

I can't say its a great game. but if you've liked these games, give this a try: -chaser -timeshift -sin -sin episodes -alpha prime -ubersoldier ii -necrovision and other such cheapy, guilty-pleasure, low budget european shooters, you'd love this. the voice acting is deliciously cheesy, the action is glitchy but intense. pros: -like hotline miami with quicksaves -like chaser meets timeshift without the time shifting -pretty fun little…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine if you took Half Life 2 (A game released 4 years BEFORE this one) and stripped out the interesting story, the neat premise, the great voice acting, the flowing and sprawling levels, the vehicles, and frankly any good AI. You'd get a game about twice as good as Exodus from the Earth. Seriously folks, if you're hungering for an FPS, pick something else. Even on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a good old-time feel to it, however it is so unforgiving that it's more of a chore to play than it is fun. You will find yourself reloading over and over and over just to get through every battle. The enemy keeps popping up from all around you, and only a shot or two is enough to kill you (and they hardly ever miss - even when shooting from places where you can hardly see them because they are so far away). I like the atmosphere of this game, and I really want to enjoy myself,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chairman Mao Zedong wrote in his essay "On contradiction" that there is a big gap between theory and practice that needs to be solved through better understandment of historical materialism. Here is a good illustration of Mao's theory : Theory : Half-Life + Deus Ex + Ambition = New Masterpiece in the FPS Genre Practice & Result : Half-Life + Deus Ex + Parallax Art Studio = An FPS that suffers from bad art & level design and poor gameplay mechanics Conclusion : If you're about to make a game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ONE TWO THREE! thought we would never get the door open
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has it all, hilarious cutscenes and voiceacting, great weapons, challenging combat, and it even looks halfway decent. If you need to wash the aftertaste of dull AAA FPS out of your mouth then think of Exodus as the sequel to CHASER. There's a shotgun that fires three shells at once and ejects them all in different directions as the enemy's corpse slides across the floor frictionlessly.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its and older game, its buggy, may not run well in newer systems- but underneath all of that is a pretty interesting story. If you can run the game long enough to get into it. 5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review is based on at least 10 minutes of gameplay, most of which was the intro part twice asI had to restart due to a buggy game. Sound: Had to mute it due to the constant static. Graphics: It looks like an early Source engine game with the contrast & HDR set to over 9000. Cut-Scenes: Half Life style slow entrance to the facility that cant be skipped.. ever. Gameplay: Half Life but clumsy. Everything has invisible barriers around it, sometimes 10ft around things. Summary: Its Half…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad. Entertaining shooter with a semi-decent storyline. Though the game starts pretty slow and average, it develops into something quite unique. Putting something as visually appealing as 'Bioshock Infinite' to the side, this game had some of the best 3D renderings I've ever seen with remarkable attention to detail. The voice acting was shotty at best, but it was definately worth a playthrough if you're wanting something that feels old school, but enough going for it to keep you playing…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is trash, but the terrible voice acting and cut scenes are great. I recommend either watching videos of those or activating god mode and breezing through the terrible gameplay. Instructions here: http://www.gamewinners.com/Cheats/index.php/Exodus_From_The_Earth
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely dated 'stealth' game. I use the term lightly as you're not really rewarded for stealth, you fight the same amount of enemies regardless. The stealthy way is definitely the way forward, as you simply take less damage. Hit detection may be way off when standing, running or burst firing a weapon, but trigger control and crouching seem to eliminate most of these issues. If anything, the game isn't challenging, it's more of a 'react quickly enough to enemies spawning' than planning…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does not seem to work on windows 7 or windows 8.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game claims it has an "innovative physics engine that reflects the real world" but when i jumped on a chair irl instead of going through the ceiling i ended up in the emergency room
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brings nothing new to the genre, has horribly translated dialogues, voice overs, and texts on PDAs. However, the old-school shooting mechanics and the gameplay were enough (coupled with extreme boredom) to allow me to at least finish playing it through to the end. The multiplayer would have been a blast provided people actually played, as the engine has a very fast and natural feel similar to Quake 3.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better then amok tbh
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exodus from the Earth brought back bad memories of playing Chaser. The assets and map designs feel like they have a lot of thought and effort put behind them. The gameplay is actually fun but the game ultimately felt like a chore because the enemy positioning is just horrendous. Take a basic linear corridor shooter and just line camping enemies in the corridors all aiming directly at the path you must take to progress further. Now take those enemies and ensure they are positioned above you,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was fun in a "so bad its good" kind of way. There were moments of frustrations from level design and broken gun damage value yes, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Good time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly ♥♥♥♥ this game lmao
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exodus From the Earth is a Russian FPS game from like 2007. No, 2008 that you see on store page is for English version release. It sure is a videogame, because I couldn't find any Wiki article about this game. All that I know about development of it is some Russian game magazine article. I can already smell mid 2000s excitement there, with one Russian 'main' game gamazine called Igromania (game mania, aha), which in retrospect was less professional than it appeared to me back in the time,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exodus from the Earth has a lot of problems. I have therefore decided that I won't finish the game. Not everything is bad of course, but the cons list is enough reason to write a negative reivew. Cons 1. confusing and dull level design: it is often unclear where to go and the game offers very little visual cues as hints. it doesn't help that some map parts look the same 2. partly problematic gunplay: the gunplay varies from decent to too hard. while your guns have huge recoil, hitscan enemies…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a literal insult to voice acting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now I normally have a soft spot for corny european/russian janky FPS. There wasn't much to this one, though. Annoying difficulty, Frank being fragile if he falls even a foot (lord help you if you get stuck), and probably the most engrish dialogue I've heard in an FPS in a long time. If you don't mind playing janky FPSes from Russia, by all means; but this isn't a good game. Grab it on sale if you must.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exodus from the Earth Competent old school FPS - if you played Alpha Prime , Scorpion Disfigured and the likes you know the drill ( some bugs and the B grade feeling ) - recommended 7/10 !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →epic environments with cinematic special effects
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a Good old half-life style fps game, i heard people calling this game a half-life 2 clone but i think this game has a lot of fun moments with variation of weapons and cheesy but great voice acting and the perks that comes from a game made in Source engine makes this game a good and enjoyable game for half-life lovers even if its not half-life, 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lets do this fellas
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an OK game not great but not bad (in da middle) Your an agent trying to uncover secrets about a substance called AX. Levels are good graphics a bit dated. Even on easy level (where I always start) I would rate it as hard, (too hard for me).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great little game. Old school puzzles and gun fights, what's not to like? O.K., it isn't COD Black Ops or the like - but for the money, it gave me good entertainment and at times it was quite hard to beat. Some of the translations and expressions are even pretty funny. I loved being called a 'milksop'! I wanted to shout back "Take that you bounder!"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While not as good as other budget/bad reviews FPS games like Chaser and Clive Barker's Jericho, this "budget" FPS is pretty good and I recommend it to anyone that also like the other 2 games I mention above. Just don't expect this to be "as great".

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exodus starts out extremely strong as a Half-Life style shooter that also draws inspiration from F.E.A.R. and Deus Ex, which features an odd apocalyptic plot about the expansion of the sun. Unfortunately, by the half way point, you'll realise that the setting is very poorly fleshed out, and its token plot point only the backdrop for a rather generic story about corporate espionage. Despite not living up to its a potential, Exodus is still a decent game with a good length. It's strongest point…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not gonna lie, I really had high hopes for this. I was hoping the game would be so bad it's good, but it was actually just boring. I think it was supposed to be a stealth game, but usually you only get around 1-2 axe kills before you get caught and then it's just a subpar action shooter with mostly boring cutscenes, terrible stock music and sound effects. The gunplay itself is alright, but most weapons are useless, because the moment you peek out you get shot by every enemy in the area and so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The shooting is bleh. (The shotgun and explosives are nice though) The multiplayer had potential but died due to gamespy. Maybe hamatchi with a friend??? The story is W T F The ending W T EFFING F bad. The music is real good though. The graphics are nice but the lighting and character models are from 2004. The rating for this is a solid 6/10. This didn't deserve to kill the company but I can see how it did. Just play on easy (it's not balanced) and accept that its somthing that would require…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED, but I absolutely love it. It is so poorly made and the voice acting is so bad that it is like watching a movie so bad it is good. it is so based on childhood reminiscence gameplay and i love it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pulpy, cheap, old-school, Half-Life/Deus Ex hybrid. Avoid unless u timetravelled to 2004 and that's the only game available.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exodus From The Earth pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //some difficult battles/boss battles //some lack of directions/instructions //some difficult platforming //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.99 Or Less During Sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great if you love bottom-of-the-barrel Russian games, it's pretty hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKNvGuAnGHc Watch out though: the AI has perfect aim and will shoot the moment they see you. The puzzles/levels can be obtuse and not well explained as well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game. I got about 3/5 the way through and a bug has stopped me going any further. A gate won't open. I googled, and the only single walkthrough online says I should be able to pass. Youtube doesn't have one user who has made vidoes of all the levels. The Steam forums are almost empty. There really is not player enthusiasm for this game. I bought it for £1.60 and would not have payed anymore. I think every level I played so far had at least one bad point. A place where you have to hit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh ♥♥♥♥ no way! Security!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it has to do with the feature not working as seamlessly with controllers - or at least developers believing so anyway. The original Xbox port of Doom 3 had the camera zoom in to a panel where you were near it and IIRC the BFG edition has the controller slow down a bit in some panels. There are a couple of FPS games that had similar in-game UIs, though they aren't as big profile as Doom 3. I bought Exodus from the Earth some time recently and the game has a lot of in-game UIs that use a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game from the late 2000s that checks off all of that time period's weirdly specific sins. Janky AI with aimbot tendencies? Check. Pointless physics puzzles. Check. Needlessly long driving segment that's really more of an escort mission for the vehicle. Check. Goofy plot with voice acting that sounds like it was recorded in a spacious luxury bathroom. Check. Despite these many issues, it hearkens back to a time when this kind of setup was acceptable. Cheats are even included to attenuate…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 11 hours of gameplay reaching the end I am truly happy to click on the dislike button. I am a huge FPS fan and also a fan of classic games and gameplay, but i cannot recommend this game for anyone. Why? Because it is not a completed game, it feels like just a beta version with lot of bugs, literally no balancing, bad shooting mechanics, boring story, mediocre graphics (also for it's time), repetitive level design and awful sound, speech and music. But let's explain it a bit more. The…
