Game Preview: Strafe

The upcoming fast-paced shooting game of 2017, will be released early next year for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS.

The game is an homage to other 90's first-person shooters, such as Doom and Quake, being advertised as to have "bleeding edge graphics and gameplay", citing the year 1996. The weapons that will be at the player's disposal, will include: shotguns, machine guns and railguns.

If you want to know how to maneuver this game, here is the first look of Strafe:

Gameplay First Look

In the game, merchants will appear, who the player can buy upgrades from. Upon loading in to each zone, the map is generated by pulling a set of rooms from a pool and arranging them randomly. The enemies, upgrades, and merchants among other assets are also randomized and placed within the zone. Strafe is notably virtual reality display Oculus enabled. The game will feature digital gravity and a dynamic blood splatter system. Each weapon has a primary and secondary fire method, with power-up items allowing the weapon to become much more powerful.

The player's job as a scrapper, is to collect scrap (an in-game currency) for use in recycling facilities. Sent by an unnamed party to the edges of space where 'no communications will reach', your scouting ship sets out to join the spacecraft Icarus. However, once the player arrives on Icarus, they find that something on-board has gone awry.

After viewing the trailer, the game does seem a bit graphic for my taste. I have experience playing bloody games my whole life, but not compare to this game. It does look awesome to play, not every day though. The “Strafe” game reminds me of the first ever “Halo” and other classic shooting games we all enjoy playing. The game itself is very classic and to for it to launch next year, must have been a very big deal.

For those of you who are blood-thirsty fans, this is the game for you to play and enjoy.
