Warstride: Challenges is a speedrunning FPS game where you are given multiple short levels to grind away and race for that top spot on the leaderboard. The game is fast, its brutal, and incredibly satisfying watching your rank slowly increase each time you replay a level, and most importantly, Its addicting. Fans of Seum and Cyberhook will feel right at home here. Tired of sweating over getting that WR?…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my first game in this genre, and I want to share with you my emotions about it. Frankly speaking, before my purchase I knew nothing about this game, except that you have to shoot in it, and I was incredibly surprised when I understood the idea of the game: your task is to avoid traps and obstacles and pass short levels at record speed, destroying all demons on your way with different weapons and abilities. I enjoyed the gameplay so much that I didn't notice how I passed all the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a bad version of defrag. Movement is way too simple, forced slow-mo, enemies that can only be killed in specific ways, etc. There's some moments where it feels kind of fun, like the runs that combine multiple levels together, but overall it's not all that great.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a speedrun parkour shooter. Not sure why I expected a doomlike boomer shooter. I saw people in the reviews compare it to doom. Not anything like doom. There is a level editor and hardly any community maps. Every single one of them that I've played out of the pool of only 20, were very short and unsatisfying. The main missions feel very samey. There are better games in its genre, i.e. Shady Knight, Neon White, Mullet Mad Jack, Blood Thief, Cyber Hook, etc. And if you are craving fps with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent and unique IL-based speedrun first person shooter with fast paced, parkour-esque movement mechanics. Has a bit of content bloat and some silly things (like enemies that need backflips and 360 spins to kill, and collectibles - in this kind of game??), but the core gameplay is great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Take Doom Eternal Sprinkle liberally with Trackmania For good measure, just a dash of Titanfall movement All in Unreal engine And you've got Warstride, a pretty fun time trial twitch FPS that takes the concept of speed maps from Quake 3 or CS and runs with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As an old defrager (Quake 3 Trickjumping mod) I appreciate the movement aspect of the game more than the shooting. Never the less the game is a fun time killer (no pun intended). Whether you like speedrunning and killing as many enemies in the process as possible or just as myself a fan of pure movement based runs, this game has a bit of both although it's more leaning towards speedrunning than pure movment. Funny thing is I can definitely see this being a arena shooter. With the simplistic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The trailers make this game look so cool, when they don't tell you is that the levels are about 5 seconds long, really breaking the immersion by constantly clicking around menus that you ultimately don't care about. Voice Acting is embarrassingly cringey, and even when you do complete a level in the fastest possible time, you don't feel rewarded because again, it was 5 seconds worth of action. Slow down the gameplay a little bit and make the levels longer, for now I'm refunding this purely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay so first and foremost the reason why I'm giving this a thumbs up is simple. The game does what it set out to do perfectly. Because of that I have no complaints about it's style. HOWEVER. I personally do not like the game. It is my own personal hangup. But I can understand why other people will enjoy it. The game is fast paced, level by level FPS with challenges. Almost every single one of them is timed if not all of them are timed. It's similar to Doom or Killing Floor. Only there are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Seum 2 we all needed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun first person speedrunning game, manages to capture the feeling of playing doom eternal but in the speed framework of SEUM/Lovely Planet/Neon White. Still working my way through it but really liking it so far and looking forward to more. The one downside for me is that medals are pretty easy, so if you're challenge focused you kinda have to hunt leaderboard places to really enjoy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically: take Neon White, pull the anime out, put the hardcore in, and shove it all into dungeons and caverns. You now have Warstride Challenges. Jokes aside this is an incredible speedrunning game with fluid, polished movement and very satisfying weapon feedback. There's so, so much content here it took me well over 40 hours to complete the game 100%. It was a lot of fun from start to end. Pros: + 180 main maps, 33 wild bonus ones, and an extra ironman kind of mode. + All maps have a clear…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very interesting and unique game, however it's held back by surprisingly mediocre level and enemy design. This game really can be fun at times but honestly, dealing with the different tools thrown at you all the time, being forced into using a Slow Motion power to be able to get proper scores, weapons looking and feeling the same all around, the weapons you're given per level are almost arbitrarily chosen, a weird reliance on shooting explosive barrels, some enemies looking almost the same, a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fast, it's fun, it's cheap for its content, you can make quick sessions (or so you think at first), and it allows you to compare your e-penis with everybody else on earth. What else do you need?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was made largely by only 3 developers, and it plays and feels like a game made by a huge team. Absolutely impressive work. They have been listening very closely to feedback from the various betas and demos over the past year, and putting a lot of effort into making this game something that caters both to a hardcore speedrunning audience, as well as more easy-going players who just like to shoot monsters and blow things up! The visuals are fantastic, with lots of options in the menu…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Q: What is the game like? The game offers a series of levels you have to run through against the timer. Along the way, you kill enemies, press buttons, and perform various tricks. The better you do, the better medal they give you at the end. There are also secrets in those levels Q: Is it challenging? Well, it is supposed to be. It's unlikely to frustrate you though, Bronze medals barely require any effort. For the highest reward, you have to try hard. There are also global leaderboards to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The movement is EXCELLENT. Bunnyhopping and sliding through levels at max speed, cycling through to the right weapon on instinct, and backflip-stomping on dem demons make for a fun, fast-paced experience. Learning the levels, and mastering the movements to chase the Ace medals reminded me a lot of Neon White in the best way possible. I do have a few nitpicks though: The biggest problem I faced was the confusing map designs. Most of the time you can instinctively proceed through the level,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game came out of nowhere and got absolutely no praise since release. It's a speed running game in an arena shooter game. Every level has a collectible as well as time limits you're looking to beat. As you play the more difficult stages, there are requirements for some enemies. If enemies are highlighted blue, you have to spin 360 degrees before you can kill them. If they're highlighted yellow, you have to perform a flip in order to kill them. Don't worry, there's a slow mo button to allow…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warstride can be best described as a "speedrunning movement shooter": your aim is to complete very short levels as quickly as you can by mastering your movement and shooting abilities. Replaying the same level multiple times to achieve your own best time is really satisfying and kinda makes you feel like a speedrunner. With its relatively small player base, you even stand a real chance of making your mark on the global leaderboards. Level design, soundtrack, movement mechanics, and shooting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so much fun and addicting! No idea why people are expecting it to be exactly like DOOM. It even says its a parkour 3D platformer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warstride Challenges is like the speedrunning mod of Doom with short levels to be precision-jumped, moved and shot. From the start you get a jump, slo-mo and a slide (while which you can turn the camera left/right to shoot). The disposable weapons are specific for each level. Your abilities stay the same for a bit too long into the campaign. Later more fun mechanics are introduced which spice things up a lot: a shockwave attack a pulling grapple hook stomp (in-air downward dash attack)…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This might be the fastest FPS ever created, and it's done with a huge amount of attention to detail and quality! Def recomend if you're looking to amp up your FPS game. FULL 1.0 Review here: Warstride challanges the Sonic speed FPS just dropped in full 1.0 glory! https://youtu.be/eBDZBIK6fEI
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely not recommended This game takes a beautiful movement system and ruins it by making every level a sprint through a 5 foot wide dark corridor with brief openings the size of a new york apartment. The other way it ruins the movement is by requiring precision in aiming. This game is heavily aim based to the point where it feels like an aim trainer. I love fps games for their movement. There are countless FPS experiences catered heavily or even entirely to aiming -- why make this one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn't expect much out of this game. WOW. I got hooked and I'm no speedrunner or anything like that. Already making a map in the level editor too. All praise, and a few little "CONS": - Sliding should allow a little horizontal correction and directional sliding. If you have momentum, it does not matter, sliding is a constant, always where you're aiming. I see the benefits, but I think it need more to feel less clunky. - World leader boards should show you're performance in percentile. I make…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing speedgame! There's official levels (241*), a level editor (and thus community levels) and multiplayer (which I haven't tried yet). *Most "levels" have 5 different difficulties which are effectively just more levels. A level on one difficulty could have you running through a U-shaped corridor and having to kill 2 enemies. On a harder difficulty you start from the other end and there's 3 enemies. And on an even harder difficulty you might start in the middle, have to run to both ends…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warstride Challenges - It really defines the word FPS. Hands down, the most chaotic, parkour, gunslinging game I've ever played before. Would've been great to have a friend to hunt down best times with, but it was challenging to say the least. It starts out very chilled and ramps up to 11 very fast. If you want to increase your aim, get this. Movements, enemy type vs gun damage is a bit of a learning curve, but so damn satisfying once you get those great times and make it look stylish while…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing indie game that's the racing game of the FPS genre ( in the best way possible )
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You are probably reading this review because you're wondering if Warstride Challenges is worth the money and the mental effort. I want you to ask yourself the following questions before you make your decision.... 1) Is my idea of a fun evening b-hopping around a corner at 300 miles per hour, racking one last shotgun shell and blowing a demon's face off his body? 2) Do I find it enjoyable to create new synaptic connections in my brain as I memorize every crack and crevice of a small map,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why is this not more well-known? this game is crazy fun w some unique twists
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warstride challenges deserves attention, it is wonderfully addictive. When you play you're gonna find yourself pushing for gold, for plat, and then when you get your platinum medal you still click improve. Because you know you messed up that one kill, that one button, that slide. You know you can do better, you can go faster. The global leaderboards become your competition, rather than the medals, pushing for top 10, or top 3, or if everything goes right and you get your perfect run you get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game asks for perfection in a lot of ways that I don't like. Managing enemies and platforming all at once became frustrating rather that rewarding fairly quickly. Lack of air control causes a lot of slight over-jumps/missed gaps while trying to also manage enemies. Forced to use slow-motion for good scores. Huge fan of games such as Neon White/Cyberhook/etc, but this somehow just didn't scratch the itch...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is for sure not perfect, but worth buying for a specific type of gamer. What is good in this game? - It has a pretty solid gun gameplay. The movement is quick and polished as well. - One level is on average 20 seconds. It's fun to improve your gameplay to get better times in the small levels. - It's really a blast getting a perfect run, killing enemies in bullet time or exploiting the enemies weakspots. - There is content for around 10-15 hours. Maybe more if you consider going for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh. I just wanna shoot s**t without constant disruption. Too many simple, short levels which results in constant loading screens which I find to be immersion breaking. Just ain’t for me I guess.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What if DOOM would be all about speed-running levels? Warstride Challenges is a first-person-shooter where player tries to complete linear levels as fast as possible by killing all enemies present in the level and reach exit. The more levels player complete within given time limit, more levels are unlocked for player to tackle on. The gameplay works fine, though one ability that's unlocked towards very end of the game called rocket jump is not well executed, and I wish it would have been…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really niche game. Also really fun if you're into pew pew boing boing against the clock.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing DOOM-esque FPS that feels incredibly good to play. The core gameplay loop is satisfying, the movement is smooth and addicting, and the animations are so meaty you just can't help but feel the adrenaline pumping when going through some of the levels. The only thing I'd ditch is the collectibles as going slow to look for them doesn't really fit the speedrun-based theme, but other than that even the arguably questionable mechanic introduced later in the game (requiring you to do a 360…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neon White with all the style replaced by blue and orange arenas and none of the secondary fire stuff. Just go fast, and shoot a lot of things. Plays more like a Quake game, with jumping being your primary means of going fast. My only real issue is that they have auto aim to assist with firing at targets while going fast as heck, but the stickiness of it is not adjustable, leading to some situations where you aim at things you don't want to. Given that you are trying to go fast, this isn't…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Blasts you with 100 useless unskippable tutorials instead of just letting you play and kill things
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warstride Challenges is a tightly focused, adrenaline-fueled first-person shooter that strips the genre down to its most essential and exhilarating elements: speed, precision, and mastery. Developed by Dream Powered Games and published by Focus Entertainment, the game is built around the philosophy that movement is just as important as shooting, and that the true reward lies not in narrative spectacle but in shaving seconds off a perfectly executed run. From the moment you start playing, it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually pretty fun. If you enjoy the gameplay loop of Ghostrunner, this is somewhat similar. When you die or just mess up and want to restart, it’s one instant button press away and you’re right back in. This is definitely for the type of people that don’t mind doing the same thing over and over until they get the perfect time/score. My only gripe is that every level (as far as I can tell) has the exact same music track playing. You guys couldn’t have added a few more? Anyways, game is fun and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Gunplay feels satisfying enough. - Movement is fast and fun, but not precise at all - and the level design sometimes fails to account for that in the late game stages. - I got 20 ish hours' worth of fun out of the regular levels, most of them were good or great. There's probably even more than 20 hours' worth of side content, but it's really really ♥♥♥♥. Long versions of levels are just unfun memorisation tests with some extra issues compared to the regular ones, and bonus levels are boring…
