MeowGun Review: A Cute Indie FPS That Plays Like Quake
"MeowGun's biggest strength is that, like some other great retro shooters including Wrath, it is built using an open-source version of a classic FPS engine. In this case, MeowGun uses FTEQW, which is an excellent open-source version of the original Quake engine. And as is usually the case with these boomer shooters built on the tech of the past, it helps make MeowGun feel fantastic."
"Every gun in MeowGun is snappy, loud, and deadly. You move fast, but always feel in control. And blowing away demons with pistols, shotguns, bombs, and grenade launchers is a joy. It helps that MeowGun's developers understand that people play boomer shooters to blow shit up and kill lots of enemies while sprinting through various levels that should never be too big."
"MeowGun's voice acting is at times distracting, especially as the main character-a half cat/half demon woman named MeowMeow-speaks almost entirely in movie quotes and pop culture references. And they start to repeat pretty quickly. Thankfully, I was often blowing up so much shit that I rarely could hear these lines. But if a talking protagonist is too much for you, MeowGun might be a grating experience."
MeowGun: Hell Denizen is a retro-themed first-person shooter built on the open-source FTEQW Quake engine, delivering classic fast-paced FPS feel. Weapons are snappy, loud, and deadly, with movement that feels fast yet controlled, encouraging aggressive play and ammo management. Levels remain compact to keep combat intense, and the starting pistol remains useful throughout encounters. Voice acting can be distracting because the protagonist, a half cat/half demon named MeowMeow, recites movie quotes and pop culture references that quickly repeat. The game includes collectible kittens to rescue and pet, plus a dedicated meow button for extra charm.
