![]() Highlights for me included the ‘Flasher’ enemy (a man in a dirty mac) quoting the Resident Evil 4 merchant, being beset by pepper-spraying Karens you must blast back into good self-esteem, and an ambitious mid-game boss fight that zaps you into a Wolfenstein 3D level and - be still my Kojima-lovin’ heart - transports you to the game’s take on Metal Gear Solid ’s VR missions (there’s even a CODEC chat!).Īll the above would be for nothing if the gameplay wasn’t up to scratch, but Fashion Police Squad has a rare grasp on what makes a Doom clone tick. ![]() Actually nailing jokes in a video game is a depressingly rare achievement, but whether it’s just goofy wordplay like “Heel’s Kitchen’, dumb little lines like “all your lace are belong to us” and a Call of Duty jab by asking you to “Press X to press to pay respects had me giggling away. It’s a supremely goofy premise and Fashion Police Squad embraces every conceivable pun along the way (right even down to its ‘FPS’ title). This little darling from Mopeful Games swaps out hellbound demons for men in overly tight speedos, ill-fitting business suits, and tourists wearing socks and sandals, abandons hell for the dayglo streets of Trendopolis, and hands you a sewing machine gun to fix these crimes against fashion. But, for me at least, few have nailed it quite like Fashion Police Squad. The past few years have seen a renaissance in throwback first-person-shooters attempting to recapture that retro magic, with highlights including Ion Fury, Dusk, and Prodeus. Its blistering speed, streamlined design, badass occult aesthetics, and iconic collection of monsters endures, and many a gamer who wasn’t even a twinkle in their parent’s eyes in 1993 has realized it’s still a supremely fun experience.
