The Citadel - The First Gooner Shooter 

Garbage bait video adds absloulty nothing but view farming "content". Good job on getting algorithmd im sure the subhuman bait will gush at the quirky anime game.

Hdoom Edged so that The Citadel could Goon

>Claims to not be an expert on bizarre internet pornography >Gives the most in depth explanation of guro I've ever heard

Sigh, I remember a day when being a goon meant you just robbed people with stalkings over your head. Probably said "blood" a lot.

“I’m not a porn expert.” Spends the next 5 minutes describing a type of niche degenerate porn.

The game seems nice but i didn’t see a single Goon or hear this guy mention one not even a peep about Henchmen, thugs, or lackeys if any kind, wtf does this have to do with goons?

Goon Goon 2: Edge on Earth Goon 64 Goon 3: Resurrection of Egirls Goon 2016 Goon Eternal

i was streaming the last level to my friends when one of them said " is this a guro game?" and i said no at first but then it all clicked. I never really thought of it that way until that moment

What are you talking about? The story is obviously a retelling of Aladdin

I remember there being an interview with the dev about his inspirations a while back. The hyper violence stems from the devs love for like 1980s and 90s anime with him name dropping akira

This ain-t the first gooner shooter, it-s just the first gooner shooter with deep lore

THEY CALLED HIM, THE GOON SLAYER

1:45 - I like how your first instinct is to shoot this hither-to unidentified creature.

*Laughs in Hdoom, Seed of the Dead*

BRUH ITS ANIME PROJECT WARLOCK IM CRYING

bro entirely forgot the axe due to his massive skill issue

I only clicked on this because I wanted to know what tf "gooner shooter" meant, but you got me with the line "I'm not trying to kink shame anybody, but actually I am"

"The first gooner shooter" Duke nukem 3D: "am I a joke to you?"

this is so tame compared to what the title would lead me to believe. I was expecting something like a modern hdoom or something lmao.

normal human discovers guro

A reviewer who does actual research? Am I dreaming?

"It's better hearing it from me than DeviantArt" I've never heard a better sentence in my fucking life

Definitely recommend Beyond Citadel, even just the demo is peak, got way more story, becomes even more of a gun sim, even more down bad, pretty much just an enhancement in all ways.

Ofcourse the video with "goon" in the title gets the most views

Well this is a hell of a recommendation, RU-vid really does know me too well. Good video and i like your voice.

I played through this game with my door open because I had a housemate who was into anime and retro shooters. Guess which boss I was fighting when he walked past?

Disgusting... Why can't people just have a normal, good old fashioned gore folder like the rest of us?

Nikke: That one doom mod:

Played through the game a week ago after having owned it for a few years and then saw this video pop up, reinforcing the idea that we live in a simulation. Anyways, good video and fun game. The pump-action shotgun with the choke upgrade is peak, absolute prime shotgun material.

12:45 You beat it in about five hours? Damn bro, you got some endurance to ya! I ask no forgiveness and I will offer no apology.

This is my favorite FPS, and it's why I went to college for programming, and am now making an FPS. I'm glad you like it.

I think "down bad" is an understatement

Rly refreshing to see someone who actually explains stuff, very interesting vid about one of my fav shooters. Played through it this year, lowkey hyped of beyond citadel cuz it looks even crazier

If you think this is the first of its kind, you haven't played Hedon

The dev got a lot of shit 4 years ago because people were accusing him of being a guro artist, hopefully people chill out this time instead of continuing to harass the guy.

Really did watch the whole video waiting for him to explain the mechanics of a game meant to be played with one hand.

Hey, I've never really watched a smaller channel before, but I've started watching your videos and they are really good, here's hoping that you start getting the views you deserve.

Not the greatest look that a gooner shooter review is the reason ive subscribed to the channel but here we are

Finaly, Systemcock

Excellent video!! You do your research, you're funny, and have a good voice for this! Keep em coming!🎉

Commenting again to help the algorithm lol this channel deserves more views

Can we go back to where goons were evil henchmen and not people who wonk their willies?

The Sleeping God is Azathoth. Our entire universe is just Azathoth's dream. Basically a universal game of Don't Wake Daddy.

"You need a monastery" killed me

This is certainly one of the strangest games I’ve seen in a while. Your review does an excellent job of dissecting this odd experience

Subbed. Your reading, coverage, gameplay and flow are all on point. Ive seen this game in my recommends on steam but havent seen any real coverage and the store page didnt really sell it to me

I was actually surprised at the level of research you had done into Ero Guro. Usually people just associate it with porn and sweep it under the rug. However, I would like to make minor corrections. I wouldn't say Rampo invented it, but he was the most famous to get involved into it. The art movement more developed with heightened censorship laws in the 1910s and 20s. Art and literary magazines would push the envelopes in response to the censorship laws, arguing that they are unfairly and unevenly enforced. They would obscure the lines of upsetting imagery, yet not violate the laws to the letter, seeing if such things would still get pushback by censors. It is incredibly hard to get a hold of much of the literature made at the time, though supposedly there are libraries out in the world preserving them. You are on point definitely about the 1960s and 1970s being a cinematic era of Ero-guro. Funnily enough a lot of the films were Rampo adaptations. The pornographic part of the era (pink films) is a little more complicated. A great piece of reading I recommend is Behind the Pink Curtain by Jasper Sharp (though it is relatively hard to get a hold of now, hopefully this changes). Where Jasper lays out the development of sex cinema in Japan and its oddly political roots. Pink films aren't purely for pornographic purposes (at least a chunk of them). Films from companies like Wakamatsu Production were actually attempts to get out from under the rigid Japanese film system and were widely accepted in important international film festivals as political works of art. Much of it supposedly commenting on war and societal violence. Was that to say that it wasn't supposed to be spicy? No, it was still supposed to be titillating and exciting, admittedly. But, politics was supposedly at the forefront of the creators' minds. Even into the early 2000s, pink films still had political edge to them in different ways. However, by that point, pink films and straight up pornos were very much distinct from each other; pink films having a distinctly softcore edge. I would argue that through the 90s and the 2000s, Ero Guro still maintains an artistic edge that we do so outside of weirdo sicko type hentai. A whole sub-genre of music is dedicated to the aesthetic (Ero Guro Kei...Shout out to Early Cali-Gari). I do hope that there is a chance to educate people on its history before people get categorized with the gore freaks out there.

THE GOON SHOOTER

This is a modern retelling of god of war 2 I Don t see how you could not see that

And people think I'm sick for liking pregnant women. In my fantasies, the women are safe, happy and comfortable.

I'll be frank, I think it a little bit unfair to call it a "gooner" shooter when the only really sexualized element is The Martyr's outfit and the fact that you could see her chest and her legs when you look down. The rest of the game is a really solid Marathon-like with unnecessarily tactical mechanics and hardcore over-the-top gory violence taken straight from Brutal Doom. It probably would've been more widely accepted by the boomer shooter community in a heartbeat if it weren't for the anime artstyle. That said, I am beyond hyped (lol) for Beyond Citadel. Played the demo for that recently and found it a net upgrade pretty much across the board, especially in the aspect of making the environments actually look somewhat varied, rather than being made of the same dark teal textures for literally every aspect of the environment the way the first game did.

I might absolutely despise the topic of the video but I can admire your dedication to research. Subscribed.

Guro ain't that bad, its like fine wine, not everyone can appreciate tastefulness of it, you earned a sub tho

Wasn’t expecting to learn the origins of guro today but here we are lmao

I thought this was gonna be about The Emperor’s Children

You have been blessed by the algorithm for making in-depth analyses on very obscure and messed up games. Take this and run with it.

Dude, this video rocks. I’ll definitely check out this game it looks awesome

Really good video. You've got a very pleasant speaking voice and I'm sure you'll go far if you keep doing what you're doing.

Hdoom's Legacy and its consequences on the Coomer Shooter

Can’t wait for more videos. I’ll skip this one but I’ll definitely like and subscribe

You’re so funny man 😂 keep up the fire content

I get the strong impression that what makes a game run well is lots of fiddling with the graphics drivers - all of them, from every possible GPU - and how the game software interfaces with those drivers in order to throw its image onto your screen. This is the kind of mundane, uninteresting work that AAA studios excel at because they can just throw bodies at the problem, bodies who don't get to quit until all the bugs are worked out and the game runs smooth. By contrast, one motivated bedroom dev with a vision can put out some impressive games, but lacks the will or the manpower to do this optimization work. Often the dev just says "eh, good enough", especially when it's one for the goon cave and you have to pretend you didn't make it. It's one of the big downsides of indy development.

Oh man, Civvie11 is gonna gonna have a field day over this

Sounds like an interesting game. Thank you for the showcase.

Really fun and informative video. So nice that I went to sub and realized I already had lol

Nice review, thanks!

I love gore in terms of entertainment and in terms of erotica I'm not into gore. But I do love my anime women so this would be something I would def play.

Don't remember but I believe the dev came back to this game and did some updates including to the character to giver her a slightly larger chest to match the sequel.

Had to stop the video because this looks good and I don't wanna get spoiled. Great vid!

I’m surprised you don’t have more subs? Your commentary is wonderful across all your videos I’ve seen (Half-Life mostly). This is definitely a game I would’ve never known about or bothered interacting with (not rlly into this genre) but I’m glad to know of it’s existence, sorta in the way cavemen discovered the dangers of fire or bears I’d prefer to avoid the psychologically scarring from this one and my new found vocabulary from this video lol. Great video.

Since you touched on it, uh, a good reminder for people to not harass the creator, as far as we know they didn't hurt anything but his creations, we're all weird in different amount of ways. I think at release one RU-vidr talked about it and it caused a massive amount of strange people harassing them, not even the RU-vidr fault either, you just, never know the people that follow you, pretty sure they apologized too even tho' it's not necessarily their fault. It's a single dev, they're passionate about a lot of things, you might not like some, but its always fiction unless proven otherwise, if you don't like it, act like an adult and don't buy it and move on. But yeah, guro's weird, but it really adds to the horror here. The second game is looking amazing tho', you can dropkick motherfuckers, its incredible. You didn't touch on it, but this game has a lot of options for like, real gun physics and shit which makes the game even harder, but its kinda cool that its there, and that you can opt for something more arcadey if you don't like dealing with bullet drops.

I had a little chat with the creator of this strange masterpiece. He was a humble regular guy except for the fact he's constantly struggling between ruining his own mind with wretched world building and pure fun gameplay for people. That's the kind of guy I want to let them making indie games on the dimest corner of Steam.

The gameplay looks neat, the wrapping paper makes me chuckle.

"a quad barrel thats based on the thing from black ops" thats bait 100%

Evil Signalis

only 5k subs? wow you're underrated. Not even the content I usually watch but can tell you put a lot of effort into it

This game doesn`t actually have a lot of nsfw art online.

i can't explain why but the same people who blast fat ropes to guro prolly are the same kinda mfs who got REALLY into war metal way too fucking early and made it their entire personality '90s war metal album covers should be enough to spot the conection

Another channel to add to my collection of great quality

Congrats on this video blowing up

How does anyone play or make videos on these games?

i feel like this sounds weird, but the moment i saw the name of the game my first thought was The Shaded Citadel for rain world (no correlation, they're just both called citadel)

you gained a subscriber my guy you do research and funny commentary? i love you already

First thing I thought when I heard about this game was "guro" also, first video I have watched by you subbed within a couple of minutes

I bought this after reading a review that said it was "a mix of Marathon and Aeon Flux"...and although really weird, the gameplay was great. There's a really cool remake of the first act in the Entropy Zero 2 workshop too on Steam.

idea: literial waifustein 3d the same as the original, but every character has been waifu-beamed(including blazkowicz)

I’m glad more people are discovering this game

Congrats for hitting 10k views!

nice one, like your style mate :thumbs_up:

i heard you mention that you have played some JRPGs and there is this really interesting JRPG called fedar and hunger, it has similar vibes to this game with its weird gore and its really challenging

I love my, RU-vid recommended, and learning about things I didn't know of previously as staying closed off to the west was, probably a better idea for my own wellbeing

“Gooner Shooter” is an insane combination of words

Generally FPS games don't do well in Japan by popularity, the zeitgeist prefers third person games as standard for reasons I'm still not sure of. That's generally why you see very very few FPS games made in Japan outside of a light gun machine. Citadel is definitely a product of that with how removed it feels from what its inspired by. Also Citadel is both getting a sequel and a fan made remake on the Half-Life 2 engine

"Don't worry about me, I visit monastery regularly when I help people meet God." On a serious note, I love your channel from the first sight, your review is perfect, I hope I am your 1000th subscriber, congratulations!

Clicked for the funny title, subbed for the good video.

Wow a game that combines two of my favorite things, shooting and eroguro Huge W for the guro girlies yippee

Gonna be real man, this is the first video I've seen from you and it is not a good first impression but you know what kid you got spunk (the normal kind you freak) so im willing to give ya a second chance kid if you can impress the boss mebbe you can become a propah goon (the normal kind ya freak)

Definitely a weird game, and for more reasons than meet the eye. You mentioned the performance issues. Well, the game tries to make the gibs look like they are 2d sprites, except they are not, they are flat 3d objects that ROTATE IN REAL TIME to alwas face you. That's a mindblowing waste of computing power, and if this is what we have on the surface, then I dread to imagine what else is inside it.

The jab at lore youtubers is so funny, love that one.

I don't know how you got into my recommended, i don't even watch and play boomer shooters other than ultrakill and even then it's just the OST i'm mostly listening to. 10/10 Would let youtube recommend me more underrated channels with more bizarre topics
