Cryptis is a retro-inspired first person shooter that sees you fighting off hordes of enemies using a variety of weapons ranging from pistols and shotguns to swords and rifles. The game feels very reminiscent of old-school shooters such as Doom and Quake, while also having a much more modern feel resulting in a buttery-smooth gameplay experience.
Combat is fast-paced, and although encounters with enemies can be drawn out and repetitive, the varied weapons and enemy types do a lot to make the game feel refreshing, and since it only took me about half an hour to finish, it didn't draw out its welcome.
Visually the game stands out thanks to its colourful lighting, both in regards to the environments and the eerie glow from the enemy designs. That last part is particularly remarkable, as each enemy stands out from a mile away. Especially the werewolves, they are terrifying.
All in all, Cryptis is a very well-made experience that is sure to keep you entertained throughout its short runtime. If you would like to see a slightly more detailed version of this review, as well as reviews for other free to play indie games, be sure to check out my video for them here:

Fun, free to play "Boomer Shooter" that will take you about 30-35 minutes to beat on normal difficulty. The weapons have a decent oomph and the music (especially the first one) are good. Looking forward to more from Dobrx!

Short game, but incredibly responsive and rewarding movement. The art style is visually pleasing and each enemy is easy to identify and understand. Hitting shots is very rewarding and a total of 5 different weapons leads to you being able to play in a number of different ways. Incredibly good game
