Last week I played the demo for Anger Foot, and here’s what I have to say about it: holy crap holy crap holy crap that was SI-I-ICK. Quite possibly the only game where you actively have to kill somebody, let alone MULTIPLE PEOPLE that are using the shitter to complete an objective.

I know this example has already been run into the ground now, but yeah it’s first person Hotline Miami. And while I’ve never played either of the Miami games, if they’re this intense/cool as shit/tough as nails then I’m SOLD.
Dying in this game is punishing as hell, since there are no checkpoints in the levels, but to make up for that every enemy takes only one hit to kill (minus the bosses for obvious reasons). And if you do some objectives that range from average to hard, you’ll unlock special shoes as well!
These shoes give you gameplay modifiers like gaining more ammo after killing enemies or explosive doors, with my personal favorite being the Chrono Kicks which slow down time for a bit after kicking down doors (which is the only way to open doors btw). These were really fun to mess around with and even use strategically, and i’m excited to see what other sick kicks there’ll be once the game releases.
Overall the gameplay rewards strategic and fast-paced actions, along with rewarding you for going out of your way to do shit like only using your feet as weapons.
GAEMPLÉ SCORE: 9/10
Steil Rivyoo
This one’s self explanatory. If you’ve seen my OCs, then you should KNOW i love grimy and crazy designs. Just about everything in this game either looks disgusting (e.g. the guy you play as himself) or ridiculous (e.g. guys with a hand for a head that flip you off), and when both of those things are mixed together, it comes out looking amazing! It doesn’t even take an in-game screenshot to show this, even the promo art matches up with this.
The music is adaptive, which is always fresh as hell. It becomes more intense the more enemies you’re dealing with, and the genre it’s in perfectly fits this game’s style as well. Loud, intense, and pumping fits the music as much as it does the game itself, so it creates a perfect harmony of chaos.
Ok, I’m running out of good things to say about this game. No stoorie rivyoo since it’s practically nonexistent, it’s “guy kills baddies because they stole one of his prized pair of shoes” so I’d LOVE to see how Wikipedia will try expanding it out to even two paragraphs.
STEIL SCORE: 10/10
So yeah, Play this demo now!
