Final Response is a simple side scrolling shooter dedicated to players who enjoy brutal games and don’t expect much besides gore.
This game is build on Leaden Sky Update 4 engine – the goriest version of LS Demo before it began to focus on other, more important aspects, leaving clunky gimmicks behind (such as fancy gore effects) in order to progress and become more stable, polished game.
Final Response is basically an extremely advanced gore system with some basic gameplay elements and small amount of content, but it does include some interessting elements like stealth, dynamic lighting, day and night cycle and rain effects.
The game is very brutal, it features many gory mechanics such as surface based wound system, many amputation points for dismemberment, detailed blood spilling, permanent mess, prolonged death animations affected by physics and many more.
The game is made to be dark and edgy, but that’s a part of it’s charm.
