60 of 90 · most liked firstSum-Up In-depth analysis further down. 🟩 Pros 🟥 Cons • Quality environmental design, with high attention to detail and solid visuals. • Most voice acting is good, and the hand-drawn cutscenes are excellent. • Fair amount of weapon upgrades, that in some cases change the gun significantly. • Unbelievable amount of bugs and technical issues, ranging from mild to game-breaking. • Only three enemy types, one fixed turret, and no other unique variants. Gets stale, fast. • Clichèd…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seems it has become a requirement for every cyberpunk game to be broken, dismembered, and poorly cobbled on release. It almost feels like every new one tries to upstage the faulty wiring of the one before. SlavicPunk takes that rusted circuitry to new levels, setting the busted bar to lofty heights. Even after two extensive patches, the game feels like an indescribably failed Slav squat after drinking six liters of homemade vodka that eked out of sludge ridden, corroded pipes, giving it a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Met the creators on the convention where they presented the demo version of the game, and despite some small issues, both me and my gf got hooked on this game. That being said: As for now, I've played through only the first mission. Although a few bugs are visible here and there, I've decided to go easy on them. It's the day of the premiere after all, and the dev team seems to be happy to address the issues when they're brought up! Communication with them is great! That being said, the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a simple man... I see neon lights, I open my wallet. And yet again, it's not possible to properly play a cyberpunk-themed game at launch. It seems like the game was never tested on new people, but only by those who had already clocked hundreds of hours on it. That's because the game works fine when you play it all at once without dying, but once you have to reload the last checkpoint or continue the game from a save game, bugs appear (waypoints pointing to locations that are no longer…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Ascent: balkan edition. Maybe finish the game before releasing it? I dunno, just an idea. Instant refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very poor optimization and i got few crashes. Welp, just refund. Maybe after one-two years of additional development.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of graphic issues, poorly optimised, got nothing on The Ascent. Refunded
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tl;dr: There's so much potential here but the game really needed more time in the oven. I haven't finished the game at this time. Pros: +Cool aesthetic +Story and characters seem interesting so far +I like the combat but pretty much default to using the shotgun all the time Cons -Many fatal errors -Performance is better after a couple of patches but still stuttering here and there -Too many shield enemies -Turret health, range, and damage too high -Enemies have grenades, you don't -The slow…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A unique blend of slavic shooter with old-school Syndicate vibes :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I play it on hard and it is not a bad game, but there is no option of a neutral review so i had to make it negative because of the things i will mention down below. First, some positive things. --Cyberpunk world looks nice . --Main hero is appealing badass. --Story seems interesting. Now bad things. --Story, even though it looks interesting it is partly given through messages between heroes in some kind of small chat with small letters in the upper right corner of the screen. I rarely noticed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's enjoyable enough, especially for a $25 game, but it has some real issues, many of which could easily be patched and I don't know why they haven't. I WANT to love this game, but it is so frustrating. It doesn't support Steam Cloud saves... like, what? Why not? You cannot save when you want to and the checkpointing is utterly random. It can send you back to slog through the same 2-3 easy fights over and over because there's one hard fight at the end. And the fights are only hard because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful game - looking for DLC Love the atmosphere and the character. - I'll gladly pay for DLC. The graphics are not quite as good as Ascent, it's much more fun. While SlavicPunk has it's frantic moments, it is generally a slower game with individual enemies (not just hordes), giving the player more direction and time to evaluate actions. The controller feels great with generous auto-aim. And I didn't see any of the glitches that other reviewers reported. It ran great for me, The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like The Ascent, so I wanted to give this one a go, as well. I like the aesthetics of it, and the voice acting was corny but intriguing. The gameplay itself was okay, but I found that the shielded enemies had a lot of health. Despite that, once I found out how to manage it all, I was having fun with it. Unfortunately, the game is extremely buggy. I can deal with glitches here and there, but the game often crashed to Windows. This happened a bunch of times, and thankfully loading the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SlavicPunk: Oldtimer captures its intended aesthetic and vibe well, creating a gritty atmosphere. However, the game feels rough and needs refinement. A significant drawback is the inability to interact with most NPCs, which makes the world feel static and lifeless. The absence of a mini-map is not a major issue due to the small game environment, but some players might miss this feature. The game's simplicity is evident with no inventory, stats, or level-up options. While this keeps the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is gonna be a rant review. Mosty. I don't usually do that but I see that as an painful but needed feedback since the game is just released and much can be improved. I wouldn't wate my time if I didn't see a potential here. I really love who this game looks, I love how it sounds, how it feels, gives me this hardcoded Blade Runner feeling which I love. But the ux, the design, the mechanics is just totally different matter and I'm hoping it will get better. So firstly when I saw this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just started this game yesterday and I'm already hooked :) Great graphics and story, looks and plays great on Steam Deck Its definitely a bit tough starting out but once you get into it, its definitely a game I'd recommend :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm enjoying it so far, but probably only just barely recommend it in the current state. By about the 4th level the bugs start getting really bad. Reloading one checkpoint would set the camera in a first person camera view (which I don't think is ever possible lol) and I could only reset the view by using the hacking thing and then exiting out of it. After loading another level my character immediately died and then I had to force close the game. Also, you can buy upgrades but they don't seem…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the ascent but blyatiful, critical bugs tho, so beware
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a tough one...love this style of game and was excited to play. sadly this game is a mess; constant crashes and lag, broken missions lead to an arrow and then stop, doors and chest won't open for some reason, broken save points that just crash the game when you try to load them. i restarted this game 3 times to get it to run which means i've played it longer than 2 hrs so steam won't give me my $$ back for a game that needs so much work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would have never thought about refunding a game so fast, but here we are. In my 40-45 minute playtime, I saw enough that make me want to rip my hair out. I feel like the devs played The Ascent and immediately took inspiration, and they took all their notes on used toilet paper because THIS GAME EXPLAINS NOTHING! From the get go you get no on-screen prompts that explain any of the gameplay elements, and yeah maybe I'm just a spoiled 24-year-old that maybe expects this kind of IMPORTANT info,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried demo for less than one hour and it was more than enough for me to buy it. Game is super fun, and it reminds me, back in nineties, on Crusader: No Remorse/Regret games. Probably there was more similar games to Crusader, but I was not aware of it. There is few things which I miss (at the moment), although maybe I just missed it...it is still early: - map: it would be good to have any sort of map, maybe even transparent one, just for awareness and not to circle around same places couple…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some crashes, some performance issues especially when roaming the City, but it delivers a lot of old-school, simple fun. I am sure the issues will be resolved within few next days or weeks. The introductory price makes it an attractive product as well. Some people compare it to The Ascent, I however would not to be honest. It's a completely different scale and focus than this game. I would wait a couple of weeks before purchasing if you cannot handle the described issues. Just keep in mind…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game would be better if it was longer. Beat it in 3.5 hrs without much difficulty. Didn't even get a chance to upgrade many weapons or utilities. Do not pay full price for this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This would have been a passable top-down cyberpunk game if it wasn't for a number of pretty serious problems. Pros: + Cool cyberpunk setting + Decent graphics + Weapons feel good to use Cons: - Buggy, crashed twice in 2 hours of gametime - Stutters occasionally on a system that is above recommended specs - Story and characters are very bad - Average upgrade system - Terrible checkpoint system, the game would sometimes set you back 10 min worth of gametime if you die or PC crashes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gopnik Punk 2077 it makes you feel like an alcoholic gopnik
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is optimisation nightmare - Im getting 5fps on 7900xtx - HOW? EDIT with details: The game does not take ton of resources, from either CPU, Ram or GPU, it just... Lags. Frame rate is horrible during initial sequence, but it's not getting much better after getting into a level - i still got 10-20 fps there. This is regardless of the Quality settings that can be set up in graphics tab. Screen Res - 1440p. Multi monitor setup - Borderless Window Proc - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Ram - 32 GB Ram…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game with Cyberpunk 2077 and The Accent vibes i do recommend checking this out but i beat it in 4.7 hours so not very long ---Only issue so far i had was a glitch with Transparency materials like glass being weird and fuzzy/broken and a shimmering off the edges of certain objects ...being a UE 4 dev i know this issue and its due to game using FXAA instead of TAA and this is well knowin problem with UE4 engine itself that epic never bothered fixing ----I did a fix which is posted…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I I bought the game as a fan of Golkowski's books. The camera is terribly heavy for me, but the atmosphere is reproduced
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An epitome of mediocrely implemented game. Gunplay is super crude all around, there are multiple glitches, and the translation still leaves much to be desired.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool game that has a great cyberpunk vibe that you get into right away. Very nice soundtrack, art style and level design.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fan of the genre, I was excited to dive into this game and experience its unique blend of music, style, and gameplay. The environments are filled with vibrant colors, dilapidated buildings, and graffiti-covered streets that truly transport you to a bygone era.Each track is carefully selected to enhance the intensity and excitement of the game, making every moment a head-banging delight.As you navigate the open world, you’ll encounter various challenges, such as street races, band gigs, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend this game at its current state. Lots of bugs, Optimization issues and crashes..., so many crashes. Lots of Beautiful Environment/ Set Pieces that was clearly inspired by Blade Runner. Every time i tried to get lost in this nice world,. ..the technically issues and crashes takes me out. I'd say give it a bit for the Studio/Publisher To Iron out the numerous issues this game currently has. It was obviously rushed towards release before it had time to finish baking. Edited…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fan of Michał Gołkowski's work, I was impatiently waiting for the expansion of the universe and the release of the game. Great atmosphere from the books, interesting gameplay, the possibility of character development. The game is definitely a plus. Noteworthy for people who know Michał's books, as well as for everyone who likes to have fun in a new, interesting world. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the graphics and vibe. Fully recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like Cyberpunk and The Hong Kong Massacre the game falls into my tastes. I will definitely spend more time on the weekend with this game. A bit of an odd choice with such camera angles and camera responsiveness but you get used to it. I hope that patches with improved optimization will appear.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think Red Square Games got themselves a gem here. The game has a nice cyberpunk atmosphere that lends itself well to the isometric shooter genre. Even the story is a bit intriguing. I've enjoyed what I've played of it thus far. Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/G_JT4I1l4ho
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I loved the demo and was looking for a different genre to play and this one looked great and it is. Right now the optimization needs work and I got a fatal error crash on the first mission 15 minutes in. I'm playing on steamdeck and on low settings averaging 40 to 50 frames with dips to about 30 fps when turning the camera too fast. If the devs can correct these problems then from what I played so far the game is a banger. Combat is fun and there is stealth and hacking which is pretty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game, good graphics and easy to control. I can recomend for all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm in love with this game. I'm barely an hour into it and I'm hooked. I love the combat style and being able to seamlessly switch between melee, ranged, and hacking attacks. The hacking mini-game is neat, and the hacking attacks help keep the game fresh. The atmosphere and the story are pretty intriguing. There are a lot of aspects that remind me of both Shadowrun and Syndicate from the 90's. I haven't run into any game breaking bugs at this point. The one small con for me is that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having a strong affinity for the cyberpunk genre, I decided to delve into this game's universe. I haven't played an isometric shooter for a long time, but playing this game I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay does not disappoint. It offers a variety of tasks and challenges, exploring large cities resembling Slavic towns. Players can encounter interesting characters, join factions, or solve puzzles that add depth and intrigue to the game. Additionally, the game features an immersive soundtrack that complements the game's mood and underscores its atmosphere. The sound design adds dynamics and realism to the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience of journeying through this unique…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mega przyjemnie się gra, do ruchu kamery przyzwyczaiłem się bardzo szybko i sprawiała wiele przyjemności. System walki daje dużo przyjemności, a dostępne rodzaje broni pozwalają na zmianę sposobu walki wedle potrzeb. Jedynym minusem jaki widzę i mnie lekko irytował to podpowiedzi gameplay'owe po prawej stronie, które szybko znikały. Mam nadzieję na dalsze rozwijanie gry, a co by już całkowicie zaspokoiło moje mokre sny to system co-op. Zabawa z bicia przeciwników w ekipie była by przednia.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Upgrading your inventory - Graphics and neo-noir atmosphere like Blade Runner itself - Dynamic top down gameplay - Hacking possibilities - Interesting plot interspersed with, comic cutscenes I thought that Slavicpunk will not surprise me with anything, but I was wrong, I heartily recommend it to people who like top-down shooters!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"SlavicPunk: Oldtimer" is an exciting computer game that impresses with its unpredictable storyline and unique atmosphere. The game offers a fascinating blend of Slavic folklore and punk culture, creating a distinct world where ancient myths collide with rebellious punk aesthetics. The visual style of "SlavicPunk: Oldtimer" immediately grabs your attention. The developers have expertly combined retro elements with a punk twist, resulting in visually stunning characters and intricately designed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SlavicPunk: Old-School Jank in a Shiny Coat It’s been over a year since SlavicPunk was released, and honestly… it’s still shockingly buggy. I’ve played Early Access titles that felt more stable and finished than this. On my first run I died mid-mission—only for my character to glitch back to life, fall through the map, and become immortal (but trapped in limbo). That kind of messiness is just the beginning. Even now, playing with mouse and keyboard, I the prompts are showing controller…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a piece of ♥♥♥♥ game. The in-game text is pretty much unreadable (non enlargement) and there is no keyboard editing option for key rebinding? The graphics are OK I suppose. The music is tied to the voice acting, so, that sucks the big one. Maybe the developers should reevaluate their career choice and get an office job or become a cab driver... oh wait, they'd probably screw that up also.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Blend of folklore and cyberpunk aesthetics that delivers a thrilling gaming experience. The story is immersive, drawing you into a world filled with Slavic myths put in a dystopian future. Gameplay is smooth, with a combat system that's both intuitive and challenging by requiring you to use different weapons and combat styles. It's an exceptional title that's well worth your time and attention. Highly recommended for those looking for a game with depth, originality, and cultural flair.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very relaxing top-down shooter. I love the art style of the game and its connection to Slavic culture. It's gotta be good if the bundle with the soundtrack is called "The Gopnik Bundle" :D It has some bugs and glitches, but I'm waiting for patches and repairs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Isometric game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Going to stream a game that's been on my To Play list for some time, SlavicPunk: Oldtimer. www.twitch.tv/doomsdayfair...
unlabelledView post →The time to complete is right about what is listed, somewhere around 4-6 hours. My play through lasted about 4h 30m. This was a fun, quick game. Annoying bug I noticed was that enemies randomly spawn, sometimes right next to you. This is common, judging from other reviews here. It’s not completely game breaking though. The graphics and gameplay are actually really fun to me. I had a good time and it did not overstay its welcome at just a little over 4 hours to complete the main story. I…
