Sass VS Fash: Girlballs of Steel

Can't believe I paid for a demo.

This game has promise but there's a few problems.

For one, When trying to shoot weapons like the MP40 or shotgun sometimes the fire button won't register, this got me killed several times. It seems to happen most often when an enemy is in my cross-hair.

The settings menu is also broken, I tried changing my mouse sensitivity multiple times but it never saved my settings.

I hope this issue can be ironed out for the full release.

It's times like this I wish steam had a sideways thumb, because what's here really isn't bad, but I don't think there's enough to justify getting it either. They are upfront that this is basically a demo, but I finished the one level featured here in 4 minutes and had to idle the game another minute to even be able to post a steam review. The weapons are a bit stiff, but I thought the level design was decent and the wallrun was cool. The enemies kept spamming voice clips and one seemed to glitch such that it kept saying the same clip over and over again really loudly which actually kind of hurt my ears, but I do think if built upon it could be a decent retro throwback shooter.

Sadly I just don't think having one short 4 minute level is compelling enough to get whatever kind of traction they'll need if they really need sales that badly to finish the game. I think it would be better to devote some time each day to working on levels, especially since the tools to do so are free, and build up at least a minimum viable version of episode 1 and have the first level as a free demo. It doesn't need to have all the planned features in place, just enough to make the game feel worth investing in. If the game gets more content I'd definitely revisit because it seems like the foundation is there, but I just can't recommend for now.

i want her to spit in my mouth

This game was not ready for early access, having just one level is not enough to get people to recommend the game. the controls are good the wall running is a little finicky to use. This is a good base to build the game upon. the biggest issue right now is there is only one level.

Update 1 (??/??/2024):

Mother F*cker just abandoned this project like what he did to his other game, the Duke Nukem Clone. Don't buy this asset flip game, don't ever buy anything from this dev, it’s basically a scam, also he lowered the price so he can make a quick buck out of your pockets, he will never be able to finish this ever, if I were you, just spend your money elsewhere.

Update 2 (02/17/2024):

How about don't be lazy and finish the damn game, we bought this so we can play it, but you showed nothing but a lackluster, short, buggy and unfinished game. You sold it with a ridiculous amount of cash knowing that it's still in demo, Also you lowered the price when people already bought it. Might as well turn this into a f2p. Don’t give me any bs saying you’re a solo dev with a limited budget, there’s a lot of solo devs with limited budgets that actually made something that did more things than what you created.

End statement. If you want people to really respect you and your sh*t, then make something more than what you showed, cus’ right now? All the things you made and sold? Doesn’t cut it. Again you sold an unfinished game and you promised you’re going to finish it, let that sink in. I dealt with this before.

Update 3 (04/14/2024):

I played it again and checked if he did fix some of the problems that I encountered, you know what??, he didn't do sh*t, not even bother fixing it. What a sh*tty dev, honestly. Why did I even bother playing this game (I should not even call this garbage a game.) again, what did I expect?,

I gave it a chance and thought, maybe he fixed some sh*t, but nope, should have refunded this when I still had a chance. What an actual waste.

Just don’t bother buying this sh*t, even if you did already, refund it as quickly as possible, don’t taint your library with this trash.

Also he gave me a Jester award lol, bro not acting like a dev, man I'm dead af 💀💀💀, I mean, I should have thanking you cus' you just gave me free Steam Points lol, so you basically just gave your points on a guy who's giving your game a negative review, to be fair I just waste my cash on this and a Neo-Nazi Prick 💀💀💀.

Review (02/04/2023):

That's it??, That's the whole Game??

Ok, before I rant, I will give some positives.

The graphics looks really great, it's retro style but more of a modern feel and it's homage to Wolfenstein 3D, I mean it feels more like Doom which is my favorite,

The gun plays and feels and the sound is decent, movements not the best but at least it's playable, the music is fine, a bit generic Metal music and it seems like a decent Boomer Shooter game you can play.

That's all the positives I can give, now time for the negatives, I have a lot of things to say about this.

First Problem, the settings won't work, even tho I restarted the game and tried to fix the settings, like adjusting the sounds, adjusting the mouse sensitivity, putting it on the borderless window multiple times, well.... it works, if you're on the menu but when you start a new game it all just reset to default, great, good start.

F*cking settings and it's already won't work properly ffs, and please put the settings in the ingame menu when you pause it.

Second problem, the wallruns gimmick, wasn't the greatest, the game wallruns feels worst compared the experience I have on other shooter with wallruns gimmicks, mostly the problem I'm getting is, if I tried to jump on the table the walls just pull me in like a magnet.

Third problem, enemies AI, a bit dumb even on Hardest Difficulty, they all just standing and not even moving at all, it's easy, well it's not bad, but there's no challenge, speaking of enemies, it's generic Nazi Soldier and the game only have one enemy type, if the game is short at least program multiple enemies.

Speaking of "game is short", now the Fourth problem and the worst of the problems, the length of this game, like what I said, it's short, I already finished the damn thing around a minute, it's even on hardest difficulty when I played it and you'll finish it only in seconds if you ignore all the enemies, room and just go straight to finish, also the audacity of selling this game for a seconds of playtime, it's just the most annoying sh*t ever..... I've got nothing to say.

Oh yeah, this game is a demo, yes a F*cking DEMO, it's just straight up f*ck and yes I read what the developer said in the description, "it only have one level", but at least make the level longer,

They probably selling the full released as a DLC, so f*ck people who bought the game I guess.... that just poured so much salt in the wound.

Do I recommend it??, nah f*ck that and if you're thinking of buying this, then you might need to pay extra to play the full game, it might not even be that good either.

Over all, nah, go spend your money elsewhere, this game is not worth your time and money, there's a better Boomer Shooter alternative you can play in the steam market and they put some love and effort in the game than this, 0/10.

got this for 50p its fine for what it is just needs finishing if people read before buying its a demo to help it get made

Fun and great shooter game. Graphics are good and controls are mostly smooth. The "jump" gets to high at times, but other than that, great game!

It's a dollar store wolfenstein made by an ex alt righter and recovering kiwifarms target as a personal passion project, game's currently unfinished but with support it'll become a great game for people who really wanna play wolfenstein but are sick of playing wolfenstein wolfenstein, and for people who wanna support a former lolcow's quest for redemption

Its literally a demo why is HE charging for it? He even says at the end this is a demo but here it says its 1 level. Scam game. Also i've heard some bad stuff about the developer so don't recommend his game at all.

The developer of this game practically begged me to play this game and said he'd pay me to leave a good review which to me is extremely shady but I said I didn't require payment and played the game anyway, the game is a total mess the menus don't work properly or save correctly and the A.I just stands around autoaiming you through walls.

You get abilities like wall running and dash for no reason just to run along the wall for 2 seconds until the game finishes? also I was harassed by the developer who has a long history of doxing, harassment and criminal history online and he outright threatened me when I asked about it.

The developer was charged and arrested for swatting and other criminal activities such as threats of violence towards people online and bomb threats, there are multiple videos and evidence of this which he tries to deny, just look up JMAATV he also was involved in racist raids on streamers and now he pretends to be left wing because he burned his bridges with everyone on the right, also the game has extremely weird GPU load issues almost as if he tried and failed to put some form of crypto miner in the game?

Also I heard he ate his own feces and googled his online handle and found multiple videos of this, very disturbing person.

A bit of a confusing review probably, in the sense that I clicked the thumbs up to recommend this game but I don't actually recommend it - yet. This is a very clear homage to Wolfenstein 3D, but with a slightly more modern presentation (think Doom sourceports), jumps, wallruns and whatnot. The single level currently available can be completed in mere minutes, and there's not really any reason to replay it - it is, after all, a very basic level with straight corridors, small rooms, the usual Wolf3D-style secret behind poster. But the second half of the level hints at some minor platforming and treasures only obtainable via very minor parkouring, which is hopefully a good indicator of what's to come.

The gameplay is nothing innovative or anything but it gets the job done, with solid shooting and fast movement. Some work needs to be done on the menus, because not only the options kept resetting after changing them, but also you can't access them from the pause menu, so you always have to back out to the main menu. A save option is also not available in the menu, though it may be possible via hotkeys.

I'm curious enough for more, basically. This level lasts only a couple minutes, but if the game's level design and enemy variety increases in the full campaign and if the solid parkour/platforming is put to good use in the level design, I can see this becoming an enjoyable boomer shooter.
