I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to the Selaco crew for giving me access to their work over the years, it's been a pleasure to watch this project near completion. Go buy it, seriously it's good. In the mean time, if you want to hang out while I stream, give my twitch a follow! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
The A.I in this game is fantastic, they really keep you on your toes, always checking my flanks and thinking of my next position. Had this one moment where I ran out of bullets and the shotgun guy yelled "they're out!" and ran in. Awesome moment, really cool game.
4:07 I genuinely loved this bit when I first played it. The somber, tragic song plays as Dawn is literally isolated. Not to mention the ACE Security Agents strung across the street. Some died together, others by themselves, some from accidents amidst the chaos.

Btw, i just want to thank Jarek for working so hard to make this for us. It's hard to even lay in bed when sick let alone play a fast-paced fps, wrote an episode and then make a video for us Thank you Jarek
Sometimes I hate watching videos like these. Not because the video is bad, but because it looks cool as hell and 99% of the time make for a better trailer than whatever the devs make. Which should be great, but I also don't want to spoil myself so I have to watch it way after playing.
Do you know Doom 3 Phobos episode 3 was released few days ago? I am waiting for your review :) but seriously, there is lot of good and great and not so good fps games, I am sure You have a lot to do.
Good Selaco Review,JarektheGamingDragon🎞️😀🎮👍🏻Enjoyed your video for this new FPS & Yeah,the Devs of Selaco "Must try make an Update/Patch to Make a Variety of Boss Battles..that will make this game..Then great.." I also love FPS games and know the Bosses must be different..Hope they can improve on that and any other mentions/tips you've given in your video here,Bro..Again it could be cool to see the improvements and fixes in a future update for Selaco..for now..Thanks JarektheGamingDragon..😀🎮👍🏻🎞️Enjoyed this video and Keep at it,Bro..Kind Regards Ryan
Glad I'm not the only one who saw ODST in there. Honestly, I feel parts of this game oozes with ODST, I had a good time with that game back in the day and this took me right back Also, weirdly enough I feel this game nails how it felt to play FEAR. The movement speed and the sound of moving. The weapons and particle effects. And this leads me to an issue with combat, thus far. If there is one drawback, it really does feel like the advantage you were given of Bullet Time in FEAR is sorely missed. Believe me, this game doesn't need it, but the mechanic wasn't purely for the cool factor. It really helped you leverage gun fights in your favor. In Selaco, however, the result is a character who moves like she's sight-seeing and dies faster, without the tactical advantage.
The one problem with fear's combat is that, even though bullet time is fun, it makes the game WAY too easy. So personally I don't think slow mo is needed.
This game 100% rocks! I bought it today, and am absolutely loving it! Great feeling, excellent immersion, and just one of the best boomers I’ve played in a long while! It puts most AAA games to shame!
You can be indirectly or even unconsciously influenced by things. So it might not be an intentional tribute but the vibes are immaculate either way. Been following this game since seeing some livestream of it. Really glad to see you make a vid on it though because you're imo, one of the best in terms of analysis
Tell me why is it that now that I have a better system and setup to play at, I'm far more interested in easier to run indie games. Maybe it's because these are actually more fun and are more satisfying to play.
This game is tied with Songs of Conquest for my choice of GOTY. I got the first couple reduced spread/recoil upgrades for the assault rifle, and the upgrade that makes enemies killed by assault rifle BULLETS drop more. I need that last one to help feed it and the meth pigs (my name for the SMGs).
After playing through the first chapter, my biggest gripes are that Dawn's movement speed is too slow (Gman described it as "feeling like the movement speed in a 90s fps if you turn autorun off", which I totally agree with), and that the slide/dash move's cooldown is too long. Other than that, the game is a blast so far! Enemy AI isn't too bothersome on higher difficulties so long as you play tactically and know your environment.
Probably my favorite modern boomer shooter since Ion Fury. Love how you build momentum via weapon upgrades and slides. The soundtrack is a bop too, especially the saferoom tunes. Gore is obviously on point. The demo showed a bit of the atmosphere but I'm actually surprised at how lonely and creepy the vibes can get. The sound design and soundtrack really propels it. We need more shooters like this imho
At 6:21 You seem to be ADSing with assault rifle. How do you do this in game? Mine zooms but maintains a crosshair. Is this perhaps older footage from a beta or something?
First playthrough 41hrs lol. Saving before battle, reloading after, playing to perfection so I don't lose any health, setting up mines and traps and making it a sandbox. Also secrets in later levels are a pain to find.
Hey Jarek, have you played Retchid? I'm not sure if you did a video on it. It's pretty cool. And I do agree, Selaco plays more like Doom 3 with a bit of Half Life mixed in. Retchid is directly inspired by Doom 3.
I found you literally a week ago and I really like your content I can't wait to see more I just subscribed and what is your favorite mod for Half-Life and doom and also Halo im a little nosy lol
between dr. robotnik's ring racers, a recently released sonic kart racer running entirely on doom legacy, and THIS, a game so technically impressive that i often forget it's running on *gzdoom* just looking at it, i think it's safe to say that the original doom engine might be one of the single most versatile video game engines ever created
Thanks man great review 🙂🙂 So I love fps, atmosphere, gzdoom, puzzles, great level design, immersion, upgrading Selaco is $29.25 Canadian for on Steam. Worth full price?
and that is a good thing, you only kill the same generic soldier in F.E.A.R (occasionally the generic shotgun bad guy, the generic heavy bad guy and the melee bad guy), just like the rest of FPS from the Half-Life era.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon Thanks. Well, it's a throwback shooter anyway and I played all those games that inspired this one, all classics. But I'm happy to know the main campaign is done.
First of all , get well soon brother ! Second and last of all , your voice sounds awful 😢and I had to double check if was watching your video or someone else’s 🤣 I was like ( am I trippin or something?! ) 🤣🤣🤣
Great game but its been infuriating so far, the lack of a sprint or just faster movement in general makes combat feel so clunky. The side dash hardly gets you in cover and the slide is okay but most of the time I just get stuck on objects. Not to say I wouldn't recommend it, I expected the game to be hard, but sometimes it's just unforgiving. Feels like I spend half a mission at 35hp.

This game NEEDS to be made available in a bundle with Trepang2 and Severed Steel.
This
Then I will considered buying all of that.
There’s a Mullet Madjack bundle on Steam
@@sawyervuorensyrja4703 cool 😎
Hmm, I'm thinking the bundle should be named "The F.E.A.R. Spiritual Successors" or "Wu Shooters." Any ideas other than that?

Psychic AI and interdimensinal being John Carmack smiles at this use of GZ Doom.
Fellow civvie enthusiast I see
4:07 I genuinely loved this bit when I first played it. The somber, tragic song plays as Dawn is literally isolated. Not to mention the ACE Security Agents strung across the street. Some died together, others by themselves, some from accidents amidst the chaos.
Oh my god the dual smgs in thumbnail!
Hopefully this game gets support. It's the best iteration of Fear's combat that exists.
This and trepang2 stand out above all the others. Also dual smgs are art
And just when I thought severed steel and trepang2 hath sated my hunger for wu... Selaco gets finished. Guess I'm eating good again tonight
you should try maximum action. not huge amounts of content or especially challenging but very fun
@@Enigmatifox it's on my radar. Waiting for it to be finished
@@SerotoninCrunch maybe keep an eye on "out of action"
Might Not very fast paced but somewhat in line with woo shooters
As for non fps woo shooter:-
Rollerdrome

glad you played it again my friend and glad it's in early Access. just bought it
I already played the first lvl and I’m really enjoying it and watching your review makes me even more hyped up!
Btw, i just want to thank Jarek for working so hard to make this for us. It's hard to even lay in bed when sick let alone play a fast-paced fps, wrote an episode and then make a video for us
Thank you Jarek
This game looks really cool! The music and gunplay as well as the aesthetic go hard. Great video man!
Fear action, Half-Life downtime and Doom PDAs sound like my kinda game, I love all those things.
I've been really looking forward to this game ever since I played the demo, thanks for making a review of it Jarek :D

Ikr, something like that just happened with spoilers for SMT 5 Vengeance(jrpg) 3rd trailer. The worst thing is it was an official trailer
Guess we had our 1990s shooter “thing”. Onwards to the early 00s!?
11:23 - Sounds like Resident Evil 1 Save Room.
Do you know Doom 3 Phobos episode 3 was released few days ago? I am waiting for your review :) but seriously, there is lot of good and great and not so good fps games, I am sure You have a lot to do.
I remember playing the demo and found the secret room which is an easter egg that referencing H-Doom
I really enjoy how Selaco transitions from scary DOOM moments to hardcore cyberpunk action shooter.
Wu Shooter is a great name indeed. And those dual SMGs look tight
Trepang2 = F.E.A.R 4 (F.4.A.R)
SELACO = F.E.A.R 5 (5.E.A.R)
Wouldn’t fear 4 be F.E.4.R.?
@@CERRYGREENBAY yea
This game has so many references i was shocked that even HDoom got one.
11:28 That's some good "save room" type music right there!

@@Jarekthegamingdragon fair. Dash cooldown and run speed could be tweaked a bit tho
I've played through the original FEAR and the DLCs several times now, really hoping this can scratch that itch, cool video
It is possible to have red blood in it?
Brutal selaco is a mod that is on the selaco steam launch page. That'll give you red blood.
4:59 ODST's is honestly the absolute PEAK of the Bungie Era mainline games, Halo Wars 1 and 2 meanwhile have the peak Spinoff soundtracks.

Is that save music theme a remix of the resident evil save music theme 🤔
Completed the demo verison probably ~10 times. It's great they made it, and to see full release is a big improvement over that build.
Tell me why is it that now that I have a better system and setup to play at, I'm far more interested in easier to run indie games.
Maybe it's because these are actually more fun and are more satisfying to play.
4:43 I was about to say this is giving HEAVY ODST vibes...
I want more ODST vibes.
I wish someone would make a game like Oni.
Oni is so overlooked.
Selaco is like if DOOM, Deus Ex, and Half Life had a baby
Best shooter I've played since Doom eternal.
Great review of a great game. Hope you've been able to slidekick that flu into a wall.

That Save Room music has HEAVY Blood Dragon vibes
There is one more cool reference, those weapon icons when you switch weapons are obviously inspired by Quake 3 Arena.

At 6:21 You seem to be ADSing with assault rifle. How do you do this in game? Mine zooms but maintains a crosshair. Is this perhaps older footage from a beta or something?
It's a toggleable option in the settings - it affects the rifle and magnum
We need a game with that slightly greyed out look of the early 2010 shooters
We really don't. The brown and grey filters were awful lol
After we got Phantom Fury, we needed this
You ever thought about doing a video on Return to Castle Wolfenstein?
Even has the F.E.A.R. zoom
My favorite FPS released in the last 20 years.
First playthrough 41hrs lol. Saving before battle, reloading after, playing to perfection so I don't lose any health, setting up mines and traps and making it a sandbox. Also secrets in later levels are a pain to find.

12:54 _Oh GOD please no, not again!_
Is this on switch?
Did they add in the red blood setting?
Why is all of the blood purple?
I'm getting this game, exactly my type of shooter.
doeas it play well on steam deck?
Thoughts on xDefiant?
phantom failure = 0/10
Selaco = 10/10
Hope you get well soon bro

Thank you for posting. Why is the blood effect pinkish? LOL
'cause lore.
Sounds like this is what Phantom Fury should have been.
I hope it will be released for switch too
I just played this game for an hour for the first time and I can't believe how good the gameplay is. Enemies are no joke.
This is GZDoom? Everything looks 3D, like Quake, including enemies. Is this really a 3D shooter?
this one is satisfying awesome and has a cool atmosphere. I love it more than other boomer shooters. It almost doesnt look like a gzdoom based game.
i'm getting portal and doom vibs
I thought this was someone else narrating the video 😂
This feels like it has been made by the people who made prodeus
I need a release date!!!!!!!!
I’m 5.5 hours in. I am without words.
Just waiting on the console release can't wait to play it on my Xbox series X💪😉💯💚
Same here
Console players don't play modded games, go back to your generic open world games.
@@Valve_sucks indie games are appearing on consoles too. Especially FPS games. It's possible 😉
I hope this comes to console soon...
Phantom Fury is smoker's Selaco. Do not smoke.
VALVE should pick them up and let them make a new FPS IP.
"Influenza wasn't enough to keep me from this game."
Yet another "I dare you to put this on the store page" moment.
My problem with all these "fear inspired" games is that they never actually play anything like fear.
Trepang2 and selaco definitely play like fear. They aren't 1 to 1 copies because, then just go play fear
and that is a good thing, you only kill the same generic soldier in F.E.A.R (occasionally the generic shotgun bad guy, the generic heavy bad guy and the melee bad guy), just like the rest of FPS from the Half-Life era.
So, is the game finished? I saw it's in EA and I don't want to buy another incomplete boomer shooter that it's gonna be fully release who knows when.
It's not a boomer shooter but to answer your question 13:32
@@Jarekthegamingdragon Thanks. Well, it's a throwback shooter anyway and I played all those games that inspired this one, all classics. But I'm happy to know the main campaign is done.

I don't like the HUD. It reminds me of Fear 2.
Would've loved to buy it but its over-priced a lot.
It's $30 for a 7 hour game. It absolutely is not over priced
You cheap scumbag. Why do you think a great game like this should be undervalued?
