Reaper Actual: A Cautious Glimpse at a Promising Shooter
Reaper Actual presents as a plain-looking military extraction shooter, raising immediate concerns about its potential. Despite the involvement of industry veterans like John Smedley, the inclusion of Web3 elements feels like a gamble that could detract from core gameplay. "If the game sucks, who cares about your Web3 aspects or anything else?" - John Smedley The game aims for a persistent world with player-driven dynamics, yet its spec-ops archetypes and bland environments leave much to be desired. Smedley’s commitment to making the game first is promising, but skepticism remains about grinding mechanics and the impact of AI-generated content. With ambitious claims of 200-player sieges, the risk is high, and the execution will determine if it transcends the crypto shooter trend. While the concept intrigues, Reaper Actual must convince players that it’s more than just another cash grab. A wish list on Steam offers hope, but caution is warranted.
