SPRAWL (FPS) review
by Alisina Fakhraei

Neon-Soaked Mayhem | Review of SPRAWL A relentless assault on the senses that channels classic shooter DNA while carving its own blood-stained path through the cyberpunk genre. This indie FPS proves that sometimes the old ways are the best ways. Velocity & Violence Speed is SPRAWL's lifeblood. The movement system rewards skillful play with a momentum-based flow that turns every firefight into a ballet of bullets and blood. Wall-running, sliding, and air-dashing combine seamlessly, making traversal as engaging as combat itself. Neural Interface The mysterious voice in your head isn't just narrative window dressing—it's a clever mechanic that ties into both story progression and combat abilities. Each enemy killed feeds into a system that feels meaningfully integrated rather than tacked-on. Concrete Jungle The procedurally generated cityscape walks a fine line between variety and coherence. While the environments can occasionally feel repetitive, the vertical level design and interconnected pathways create engaging combat arenas that reward exploration and aggressive play. Digital Soundscape The pulsing synthetic soundtrack perfectly matches the game's frenetic pace. Each gun's report cuts through the mix with satisfying weight, while environmental audio provides crucial tactical information during intense firefights. The Verdict SPRAWL takes familiar FPS ingredients and distills them into something potent and distinctive. While the procedural generation can sometimes work against the experience, the core gameplay loop is so satisfying that it's easy to overlook its occasional missteps. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Hits harder than its indie status might suggest. A must-play for fans of fast-paced shooters and cyberpunk aesthetics.
