Not worth your time
I rarely don't finish games, but this is a game that I will not finish. It was awful, controls terrible, not really a story in sight. Just no.

Review itamar 2/5 · May 4, 2022
Not a shooter
Has the basics of a first-person shooter/slasher, but with no plot and somewhat clunky movement controls, I couldn't be bothered with sticking with it to adapt to the the randomized layout and advance at all.

Repetitive and boring.
Poor controls, repetitive levels even for a rogue-like, and just not engaging. Graphics are fine, nothing superb.

Tap, deal €16 damage to yourself and gain a lazily made game
City Of Brass is basically a FPS without a save function or proper balance. Just imagine Quake but you have to start all over again every time you die. And there are basically no health packs. Also half the time your weapon doesn't fire for some reason. And the other half of the time you're breaking vases for loot. Plus …
City Of Brass is basically a FPS without a save function or proper balance. Just imagine Quake but you have to start all over again every time you die. And there are basically no health packs. Also half the time your weapon doesn't fire for some reason. And the other half of the time you're breaking vases for loot. Plus there's little variation in weapons and enemies. And the levels aren't carefully designed but randomly generated.
There are no permanent upgrades and only 4 classes (3 of which have to be unlocked). It gets boring really fast. It doesn't help that movement doesn't feel as smooth as you'd wish. If you slide you just grind to a halt and very slowly get up. And sometimes you don't slide for some reason and end up hurt/dead. It's almost as frustrating as the fact that sometimes you just can't attack for no reason at all. Clicking just doesn't work. There's no stamina bar or anything, it's just broken i think.
They made some level elements, a handful of enemies, a bunch of samey weapons and some power-ups. Their formula randomly generates levels from those elements. That's it. They want €16 for that. Lmao.
