HONEST REVIEW OF SIMULACRUM: Simulacrum is a game where speed is life and not knowing the best possible way to play the game is death. The enemy's are boring and feel like they are place holders for something bigger and prettier. There is a lot wrong with this game. But the real turning point is the story...jk...(there is no story). All in all I feel that there is lots of lost potential in a project that could have been so much more...but I still highly recommend it. I think this attests to how much fun the core game play really is. It's super fast paced, enemys(while ugly) are extremely well designed, the levels are diverse and sized very well, the menu system honestly rivals some AAA games, and the game overall is just extremely addictive. Now the real question is: is this game better than Ice age village? No, but its a close second 9/10

Incredibly fun gameplay with smooth movement mechanics, interesting weapon combinations for high-paced action, and enemy variety that keeps you constantly on your toes. Paired with fresh time completion marks that are sure to appeal to speedrunners.
Its a pretty cool game, though i'm not entirely sure if this is six bucks worth of content. As of writing this review i'm having a blast with it, though a few of the criticisms i have with it an be passed up and ignored if you look at Simulacrum at face value. To summarize, you go fast and you shoot, kick, and stab things before moving to the next level. Each level is an abstract void of geometric shapes that you navigate in order to both create and block sight lines, increase your overall momentum and clear waves faster. Waves consist of enemy archetypes that each do their own individual thing, such as red ones that chase you, black ones that spawn red ones, white ones that fire beams, etc. The first and only large take away are the weapons. You have three, technically four, that are at your disposal: The grenade launcher is probably the best and only weapon you'd really need to clear the game with. It serves both as a mobility tool and great damage output, dwarfing all of the other...
A very peppy and intense game full of interesting weapons and game mechanics!
I love this game!
This is an amazing game with a fast paced game play that is sure to make your heart pound with excitement. I found this game while looking for games similar to Ultrakill that have a good price, and this game gives it all. A game that is worth a detour.
Excellent Ultrakill-inspired game. Love the wacky movement, (only complaint is the loud death sound), Vhahahaha. The issue in the parentheses has been fixed, jolly good day!
This game is a piece of art. The movement is exciting, the combat is challenging, and the weapons are creative. You won't regret the $6 spent on this game!
A truly excellent game. Fast paced and fun to the core. Dynamic always, and thrilling at that. Simulacrum is a game for all who wish for quick fun and a good time. Obviously it might not be up to the industry standards, but hey, it was made by one guy in a very feverish few months.
Absolutely loved this game! It's just hard enough to make things challenging but rewarding! If this ever became a VR game this would become one of the greats!
