Wow, this game is impressive. Tight quake gunplay, community made maps and a silky smooth movement system based off of CPMA from q3a. The playerbase is generally small at any given portion of the day, but with at least 20-30 players in a game where you only need 2 players for duels and a handful of players for anything else, it's easy to end up with a server with TOO many players. Great game, by far the most gratifying shooter on the market, especially when compared to the masochist's wet dream known as military shooters.

buys game..comes from q3a and ql....sees dust 2 ffa server....faps vigorously


game is 11/10 would fap again

runs great, looks great, and with a great dev team that updates frequently with many more things on the way.

probably the most challenging FPS game out there currently.

I wholeheartedly recommend this game, especially if you are a fan of Quake and Arena FPS games. The original Kickstarter campaign trailer should give you an idea of the gameplay, and if you are like me and have warm and fuzzy nostalgic feelings from playing Quake back in the day, you'll probably want to play it.

And you should! It is superb, fast, fun, furious, frantic - it plays smoothly, even on relatively old systems. The developers are clearly passionate about what they do and the lead developer has a wealth of experience in the industry, and it shows. The engine is rock solid, the game design is great and adheres to the genre whilst catering to casual players.

Future updates will bring matchmaking very soon so don't worry about getting stomped by pros! Approximately half of the features listed in the kickstarter pitch are ALREADY implemented. Cosmetics, high performance engine, game modes, in game map editor, replay editor, dedicated servers...

Seriously. Just buy the game. It offers excellent value for money, the community is great and very welcoming and friendly. Steam refund policy will give you a refund if you play less than two hours and ask for a refund within 14 days of purchasing it, so you literally have nothing to lose.

literally cocaine. holy ♥♥♥♥.

Great game

Cool game, cool community, terrible shotgun.

9/10.

Early Access review and this game is more polished than most AAA games that come out (looking at your Ubisoft). The search is over for those seeking a replacement for Quake. This is made by the developers responsible for the Challenge Pro Mode Arena mod many fans considered as the perfected Quake. This is pretty much Quake 3 more polished, with love and care in every corner and it's amazing.

Pros:

- Outstanding Net code

- Skill based movement

- Rocketjumping

- Customizeable hud

-Customizable map editing

- fast paced arena FPS

Cons:

- No music (subject to change)

- No bots (im not sure if thats on the to-do list)

All and all I'm extremely satisfied with this and will probably be ready when all the people come migrating from quake live/champions when Bethesda inevitably messes those up.

its a work-in-progress classic style Arena shooter based somewhat heavy on CPMA Quake, which was a mod released for Quake 3 arena to make the game competitive than just free for all and team deathmatch including community maps, movement tweaks, weapon balancing, ect.

Reflex' Main game mode is one player versus another in a small arena filled with strategically placed pickups such as weapons, health, armor, and certain powerups which are only available in free for all and team deathmatch, so don't sweat it after losing a couple of games, because most players on Reflex are experienced, some are not, and not everyone started at the top. Keep in mind, this shooter is tailored for a very hostile and compettive environment, so you're pretty much on your own.

You have the ability to move at mach 6 just like everyone else too, you just need to learn the movement system of Reflex, and also learn how each weapon works in many of the situations that i'm too lazy to talk about, because nothing is ever the same match.

Skill is legit king here which is a rare thing to see in many online first person shooters these days, so there's none of that "I saw him first!" and gets a free kill...or a perk that lets him/her summon a plane that drops a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of dogs strapped with c4 plastic explosives or drones that bomb the entire ♥♥♥♥ing map to earn free kills, and unfortunately that's featured in alot of the dozens of military fps games out there that has flood the entire market for anything first person shooter games.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t.

there's also other modes like team deathmatch, free for all, clan arena i think, and there's also a varient of that same game mode but instead it's 1 v 1.

a level editor is also included to create new maps and share it with the community somehow. I haven't gotten around to do that yet. alot of the maps i've seen look pretty darn good.



Reflex is a work in progress, so 9 bucks isn't such a bad deal at all! not only you get a fast ♥♥♥ game that looks great at the same time, but there's lots of community made maps in the workshop, every update brings something new to the table, such as the new ranking system to see how are you doing so far. Oh yea and this is new: I recieved a random new item after a match, similiar in the CSGO or TF2 fashion. yes, items are purely cosmetic to ensure zero ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t among your opponents and nothing like TF2 where a single player wearing a certain certain hat or using a strange-leveled weapon could potentially change the tables for the entire game.

It's too early for me to tell how this game is doing in terms of player retention, but it's an early access game, so the time to talk about player populations will come later. It would be nice if there was any time for it but a singleplayer campaign mode consisting of either enemies or bots inside arenas with moving targets would help the game with it's playability...and/or at least practice weapon skills against random ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off enemies or whatever---♥♥♥♥, i'd help the community come up with maps too---i know it sounds dumb but..eh whatever. This game is a competitive game anyways.

The other thing that's also missing is...maybe some soundtrack or something..but then again, this game is a competitive environment so that's probably out of the question.

There is a reason why it's called "Reflex".


This review may or may not change once Reflex is out of early access. Until then, This is the end of my report..

High quality remake of the original Quake 3 CPMA. If you enjoyed quake 3 this is a must have.
