    This is a phenomenal game. I've been confined to the terminally ill wing of the children's hospital for a little over a year, with my only enjoyment coming from computer games. The second I downloaded Revelations 2012, my cancer was immediately cured and a wheelchair bound child next to me stood on his two feet for the first time in his life and started tapdancing.

    The bad reviews are made by trolls who follow what's "hip." Writing good reviews about this game goes against the crowd. Its too bad people can't think for themselves. The game is actually fun. I bought a couple copies for my friends and me. Its enjoyable. Solid 10/10.

    I am putting my excellent review that I posted on the Steam forums here to balance out the 2 trolls here (Arvuti and kranky) and because there are a lot of people hating on the game and trolling for no reason because they do not understand art or basic game development

    Ok lets start with the pros.

    Ok lets start with the pros.

    Pros:
    - Large maps
    - Open maps
    - Much exploration
    - Gameplay slightly changes threw out levels
    - Puzzles
    - Traps which are jess that a trap sumthang your not sposed to be aware exists and catches you in sum shape or form off guard
    - Lighting
    - Boss fights
    - Larger variety of enemies than that of which I have seen in any L4D: Ranged, Melee, & Magical appear to be the 3 major categories for enemies. Then there is the mini boss' then the boss' themselves. If we wanna get very specific. There are priests, warriors, mini boss, boss/gods, warriors can shoot you with poison arrows or melee & lets not forget the court level in the 3rd campaign they are apparently able to also throw long distances flaming spears at you, and then there the witches which are capable of spawning another enemy type called demonoids.
    - 4vs4 player combat
    - Control AI in 4vs4 combat
    - 1 gun multiple weapons/functions/abilities(1)
    - Now there ARE actual like hints to help guide you along your path threw maps. More than before upon initial release atleast.

    1. This option apparently is very debatable. If you dont mind 1 gun that does all the work with different weapons/functions/abilities then this is good for you. TBH tho it makes it a lot easier to use multiple weapons/functions/abilities tho to kill enemies. + you dont have to worry about reload. Well you do by collecting items but still. + anyways with Mouse2 you can either freeze monsters and if minions insta kill if in radius or if mini boss or god itll freezem and hurtem a lil & you can electrocute them I think it is then also give partners shields then sumthang else but I aint beat the last campaign yet lol. Them mouse3 allows if I remember properly by default zoom with sum of the weapons/functions/abilities. In the end I like this and that is why I listed it as a pro. Tho sum probly find it as a con thats their opinion and I respect it.

    Next the cons.

    Cons:
    - Textures, I will admit there is still quite a few places here and there that could do better but tbh this isnt that big of an issue as most that havent tried the game out yet have been stating.
    - No fog
    - Objects more easy to notice popping into view due to no fog or short view distance
    - Possibly short view distance tho I unno if this is engine restricted and cant be altered.
    - Many might not like the fact this is another FPS...apparently that is a huge dislike about this game...too many peeps hate the fact that you have to do what you do in most FPS games and spam mouse1...well you dont have to. TBH you can use Mouse2 & mouse3 as well that have alternative functions similar to that which of Mouse1
    - Poor frendly AI coding

    Atm that is my list of things...may get updated if anythang comes up to mind.

    IMHO I would say get this game if you like good coop gameplay and would like a diff setting of the end of the world besides a city filled with zombies and other mutations.

    I honestly give this a 9/10 as this is from someone who understands the game, how it's an art form and who has actually played it unlike the trolls and haters

    Alright I heard alot on the boards on this one so I went ahead and tried it. The shell of the game is alot like left 4 dead 2 but with bosses at the end of the campaign and there are puzzles mixed in as well. The more I played the better the game got. I would recommend giving it a try and sticking to it to see its hidden gems. The game is what you would expect from a low budget indieAlright I heard alot on the boards on this one so I went ahead and tried it. The shell of the game is alot like left 4 dead 2 but with bosses at the end of the campaign and there are puzzles mixed in as well. The more I played the better the game got. I would recommend giving it a try and sticking to it to see its hidden gems. The game is what you would expect from a low budget indie but has moments that shine. I recommend doing the COOP as the single player bots can be very dumb at times.

    I only tried the Multiplayer Battlegrounds for about an hour and at first was "what the heck is going on?". It took awhile but you can actually control your forces to send to the opposing team (once you figure out the buttons). They have towers to destroy and something called a spawner or summoner that has to be destroyed to stop bringing in more controlled forces. At the end, you have boss slash tank that has to be killed to win the match. All in all it was way more fun once there was 4v4 going at it.

    Here is the quick and Skinny:
    Graphics :: Not AAA, but campaign 3 looks great
    Gameplay :: COOP is Fun
    Multiplayer :: Battlegrounds mode has a chance to be a hit once you learn how to play. FPS + SC ?

    I admire to see an Indie go after such a big game modes. I definitely recommend this game! Keep the indies going... they can only get better with support!

    This one of those rare video games that absolutely blows you away. From start to finish this game will leave you speechless and and leave you wondering why you spend 10$ on this pile of turd. The most fun thing you will experience playing this game is changing your underwear from pissing yourself laughing over the combat system, voice acting and story line.

    We usually refrain from swearing in our reviews, but I must emphatically say that Revelations 2012 is the worst piece of f..king shit I have played on the job, and they can stick that on Metacritic.

    Revelations 2012 is a hilarious experience, because this idiotic and pretty much unplayable can't have been made with a serious intent. The game gets one whole point for the laughs it caused, and that's it.
