Trepang^2 is an exhilarating first-person shooter that channels the high-octane gameplay of mid-2000s classics, that launched on Steam on June 21. The game offers players the chance to embody a super soldier, utilizing a variety of superhuman abilities and weaponry while navigating a world teeming with dangerous foes. Through the campaign, players will uncover a deadly supernatural conspiracy, master game-changing abilities, and fight relentless waves of spec-ops forces.
In Trepang^2 players are thrust into a world of over-the-top action where combat skills are pushed to their limits. Amid explosive campaigns and horde modes, the game calls on players to navigate a bullet-filled world, fighting thousands of highly trained operatives and otherworldly foes. Unfolding against the backdrop of a devastating heavy metal soundtrack, the game combines brutal melee combat with rapid fire gunfights, enhancing the fast-paced FPS gameplay.
The game’s mechanics also showcase a variety of innovative features reminiscent of Monolith’s F.E.A.R, such as the ability to dual-wield weapons, use enemies as shields, and toss enemies around the battlefield. Furthermore, its liberal use of bullet-time ability lends an extra dimension to the gameplay, allowing players to visualize the shockwaves of explosions and other effects. Trepang^2’s graphical brilliance and superb execution make the combat seem not only realistic but also exceptionally thrilling.
However, the cornerstone of Trepang^2’s gameplay, like F.E.A.R., is its enemy AI. The game aims to deliver opponents that match the intelligence and cunning of F.E.A.R.'s weaponized clones. The ability of Trepang^2’s foes to communicate and strategize will significantly determine its success in replicating the immersive FPS experience of its predecessor.
Despite being an indie game developed by a small team, Trepang^2 successfully incorporates many elements from F.E.A.R., cementing its status as a spiritual successor. Its gameplay keeps the focus squarely on high-octane combat, ensuring a fast-paced and gory first-person military-style experience. Even though the game might appeal more to players untroubled by excessive in-game violence, its narrow focus on bloody first-person combat does justice to the genre. Borrowing elements from F.E.A.R. and other classic shooters, Trepang^2 offers an experience that is both familiar and refreshingly novel.
