KARLSON 1.0

Once upon a time, there was a youtuber that was challenged by one doofus in the comments saying that "you can't make a 3D game" (paraphrased). So he decided to learn how to model, animate, and code to win an argument. Imagine my surprise when it turns out that the game is actually insanely fun. Meet KARLSON.

Installing KARLSON is incredibly easy. Simply unzip the files and run the executable.

To my surprise, the game played very similarly to a budget Titanfall 2 - one of my favorite FPS games ever made. It features the same momentum-based movement system that made it so addicting, wall running and grappling hooks to really capitalize on the movement, a slide to increase or conserve speed, and tight shooting controls. However, it adds more to the formula than even Titanfall, with a physics-based object grabbing system that you can use to throw objects at enemies and doors.

Your objective every level is to get to the milk, a running joke on the YouTuber's channel. This usually consists of murdering or avoiding everyone in your path and navigating tricky obstacles. Despite this game honestly not having too many levels, it's a testament to its movement mechanics when there is still a thriving speedrunning community that has sprung up around it, with more and more time saves being discovered every day.

All in all, KARLSON has a lot to offer with more to come. A Steam release is coming soon that will come with competitive multiplayer too. Put it on your wishlist and support the developer!
