50 of 50 · most liked firstI'm in the process of playing through all DOSman games. This is my 5th one. I actually don't know if this counts as a DOSman game, as it was developed by Nothing Rhymes with Entertainment and published by DOSman. In some aspects, it is similar to a type game from that publisher (retro-style FPS, control scheme is the same). In many ways, it is very different from the ones I've played thus far though. For one, the music is much better. I'll admit, I'm not someone who searches areas to collect…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Night Jackaaaal! His game’s not very good… But he broods on rooftops anyway, just like a hero should! With a budget half-expired and his graphics kinda crude, He’ll save the city somehow—when he’s not stuck in a loading loop. Night Jackaaaal! Master of the mildly okay! He strikes fear in evildoers… or at least makes them walk away. With combat that feels floaty and controls that sometimes freeze, He’ll stop the forces of darkness—assuming he can jump past these trees. Night Jackaaaal!…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first time I give a DOSMan game a thumbs down. For bad map design, excessive number of enemies, and bizarre gun design. Since it's an FPS, I naturally dashed towards the doors, only to find I needed to speak to a particular NPC first to gain access and proceed in order. Then I had to navigate a maze of crates to find a climbing tool to reach higher places. After finding it I assumed I should venture into new higher areas, but it turned out I just had to backtrack all the way to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically batman Doom. Not amazing by any means but decent and very cheap. For some reason the game starts in 720p and has no setting to change resolution so you have to change it in the config file. Also it does not have quick saves but manual saves.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It felt like I was playing a through a Todd McFarlane comic book in FPS form.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is very cool and very affordable. Shoot, stab, and punch the bad guys! My only critique is the checkpoint save didn't seem to work. There was a notice at the start about saves, which I am thinking I may not have understood. Definitely worth checking out though! https://youtu.be/a2ayJ4-ZhyI
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you enjoy fun and ambition? Then maybe you should check Night Jackal: Blood Debt out! Oh, and the theme song - certified banger. Peak theme! So don't wait around. Pick the Night Jackal games (yes, there's more than one) up now!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Night Jackal: Blood Debt is a tightly scoped, personality-driven first-person shooter that leans hard into retro sensibilities while wrapping them in a stylized, comic-book revenge narrative. Developed by Nothing Rhymes With Entertainment and published by DOSMan Games, the game positions itself as a love letter to classic boomer shooters, prioritizing speed, clarity, and punchy encounters over sprawling systems or cinematic excess. From the opening moments, it establishes a confident tone:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyed this simple extremely retro shooter. Surprisingly good original music, interesting dream sequence battles, challenging boss fights and even multiple endings! just for a few dollars. The first gun and grapple hook are abit annoying but i would say that is an element of early 90s games, not being super polished, having some less than perfect mechanics that require you as the player to adapt around them. i finished this in offline mode so the playtime is not accurately…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a "you get what you pay for" type of game. I can't really recommend it as a retro fps because the sprites are heavily pixelated and everything else isn't that, nor can I for the gameplay since it's your standard throwback fps faire, plus a disappointing grappling hook, and I can't even recommend it as a budget title since there are plenty of games on Steam close to this price bracket that are far better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically Batman Doom with nudity, profanity and violence.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worth it for the Theme alone...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why did they design the sewers like this are they stupid? also hearing that theme song every time i pause gets ear-grating, less than a level in and I got immediately tired of hearing it every single time I paused.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is finally the last dosman game I had to suffer through and I am genuinely hoping it stays that way forever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easily the most impressive EFPSE I've played from a narrative perspective, too bad the shooting kinda sucks. Night Jackal: Blood Debt is a Retro FPS game developed by Nothing Rhymes with Entertainment and published by DOSman Games. Based on the comic series Night Jackal and running in the EFPSE engine, it follows the titular masked vigilante as a recent attack on his manor has him spiraling down a rabbit hole to figure out if there's a bigger conspiracy afoot. The game is really impressive on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty solid game! i do appreciate when efpse games have a new game hub area
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a pretty good game with a respectable amount of depth to its story and solid gameplay. At roughly 3 hours, it's fairly short but the asking price is fair in my opinion. Do beware that game doesn't feature a way to change resolution so you'll need to edit the config file directly. Here's the link to my guide on how to do that: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3628857940 Level design is good but the puzzle/platforming sequences can be confusing. The game's first level…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game it's fun and has a decent story. But it crashes non-stop on the sewer level.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://youtu.be/HCoZBDy2Ki4] VIDEO REVIEW Night Jackal feels like a light-hearted shooter but the story would say otherwise. The comic book feel is a very interesting choice, but since the game does come from an actual comic book it makes since. Even though the game is short it is really enjoyable. The best part of the game is the story (which again comes from a comic writer so I would assume so) though every aspect of the game is well rounded. To the gun variety and great pacing of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow this could turn into a multiple game series with the amount of lore here. Recommend the dual set with the arcade Night Jackal in it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what the ♥♥♥♥ is a Night Jackal
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This silly goose had a lot of fun collecting that blood debt! The weapons are cool, and the story was super interesting. I, for one enjoy a game that respects my time! Take a chance and buy this game, if you don't, Kenneth Copeland will appear in your bathroom mirror!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The level design and starting weapons are so counterintuitive to fun that I couldn’t stomach more than 30 minutes of this game. First level literally has you unarmed and clunkily kicking people while jumping through a storage room maze full of boxes and vents. So dull. Next level is a claustrophobic sewer where enemies hide under the water line and you expend most of your ammo on rats. Yay. After that, I just quit. Didn’t care about anything happening. Combat wasn’t fun. Sound effects were…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a Dosman connoisseur I have to say, this is probably the best one I've played yet. Very ambitious for an EFPSE game with a tone of style and flair. Grappling hook? Super dope even though I got out of bounds one or twice. Storyline? An actual cinematic storyline? Incredible. Two endings? Both quite surprising? Good job everyone involved.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually no wait there was one other game that sent me down the rabbit hole and that's the last one (Quartermain and the Cult of Cthulhu.) Hopefully that one ends up better than this one. (also the game from the first post is Night Jackal: Blood Debt)
unlabelledView post →Fantastic little game, love the music to it, if your looking for some of the most interesting old doom like games, you need to check these guys and lots of other DOSman games out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game and great storyline
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another good EFPS engine game that pushes the boundaries of what we thought people could do with this engine. it's got some good sized well detailed levels, a nice variety of weapons and enemies, and a rather complex story that doesn't always go the way you might expect it to. highly recommended if you're a fan of Quartermain cult of cthulhu and some other recent offerings from dosman games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know it's only £2.50, but for the storeroom section alone I am refunding,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am torn on this one; on one point, I had some genuinely good moments at some points during the game. The price is right too. Some guns (6 and 8) are genuinely fun to use. On the other, there is a lot to dislike: it's incredibly short, some moments are extremely difficult, the bosses (1?)are nothing special and the story is trash. Overall, this will get a thumbs down for the INCREDIBLY confusing level design. Levels are monotones and some of them are true mazes and I can say I've genuinely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very short but the story was surprisingly good and interesting for a 3 euro game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a REALLY GOOD short game. My only issue is that it doesn't explain some of it's special mechanics or use them enough. Like your Boomerangs stunning the Sawbots, the game doesn't tell you, AND it ONLY works on them. Armor only appearing in FULL form and in a hand full of places, not even at the final fight. (unless I'm blind.) The Gloves of Tartarus slowly recover your health! I bet you DIDNT NOTICE THOUGH.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tbh I didn't expect to get so invested in this game. The comic artwork, music, and writing in general have clearly had heart put into them. These games usually have story as kind of an afterthought, definitely not the case here. The gameplay is pretty standard for this engine, though I did like the creativity put into the weapons & enemies. Gold sniper, shotty and throwing *mask? are very fun to use. Also gets more challenging midway through. Would love to see this character expanded. A quake…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely one of the most technically impressive EFSPE games I've played, plus it's got a rocking theme.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IT'S DA FRIGGIN JACKAL
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent comic book inspired Retro Style FPS with a interesting world and some fun action. I found the weapon roster to be good with a varied cast of enemies to face off against. Visual design is cool looking with some nice sprite work as well as a great soundtrack with some vocal tracks thrown in here and there. The game is short but sweet taking about upwards of 2 hours to get through on a first playthrough with the choice of two different endings. There is incentive to go back through again to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best 3 dollars i've spent on steam all year. The soundtrack will have you singing along instantly, while setting the mood for the scenes. Dive into the twisted world of a vigilante well equipped to take out as many henchmen sent his way. Cant recommend this game enough for anybody looking for a modern taste of nostalgia.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short but super fun. Great if you're looking to kill an afternoon.

unlabelledView post →More like Night Jackass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/PHEwS8hcgSM Low impact weapons and a heavy focus on first person melee creates dry combat encounters in cramped levels.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Night Jackal seems to be the most ambitious game so far released by DOSMan Games. Mostly cos this one puts a lot more effort into presentation in its story. We get like mini in game interactive cut scenes. And there's just a decent amount of dialogue in general. And the story in general was quite good. Had interesting twists and turns I didn't expect. In terms of gameplay, it's also more interesting than other DosMan offerings since you actually have superhero gadgets like the grappling…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is decent but, can be frustrating at times. It's got an excellent story delivered in comic book style and a good selection of enemies. Sometimes the levels can be too maze like though. I like the fact that the game has alternate endings. A rare thing for boomer shooters. Pick this up if you like boomer shooters or comic book games!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Night Jackal: Blood Debt is a boomer shooter that's also a tie-in for a digital motion comic called "Night Jackal", and I have to say the comic is far better quality than this game. It's from "Nothing Rhymes With Entertainment". If you think nothing rhymes with entertainment, you better do an assessment of your educational attainment. The game itself looks like a GZDoom kitbash with some rather comical pixelcrap billboarded characters from the comic book. Aside from that there's (only) 10…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-This isn't a DOSMan Game,it was developed by Nothing Rhymes With Entertainment and was published by DOSMan.- I was actually surprised at how good this fps was. If you've played the old Batman DooM mod then you'll feel right at home with Night Jackel. The levels are pretty decent in design and layouts. I like the art on the "secret" comics,pretty good imo. The basic enemies are ok and the two "special" enemies you run into from time to time are pretty cool in design(destroying the head of buff…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the price it's ok. But, barely. I've made it ~15 minutes, most of it trying to navigate the crates in the storage room. I find it hard to make the jumps as the motion is awkward. The fights are...boring. I almost died in one spot only to realize I was too close to a fan. Behind a grated. That was somehow hitting me. The superimposed goggle view is quite annoying to me, between the outline and the reflection of the characters eyes in the goggles...no need for that at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this. At least until I got the hideout. The game crashes every time I try to enter it. Unfortunately I'll be moving on to something else so I'll never see how this ends. I do think the level design and combat are pretty good for the first hour of the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story was surprisingly good and more interesting than most AAA games I've played, a solid 8/10 for a 3$ game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden gem! I was hooked as soon as I started playing it, it was so easy to get into and I could not stop. The dialogue is hilarious, it was action packed and fast paced like like my games. Thank you DOSMan!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy it. Cant get past the second level because all of the prisoners encircle me at 10% movement speed. Some kind of bug.
