Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation Delivers Hand-Drawn, Cartoon Carnage to FPS Fans on Steam
For fans of retro-inspired first-person shooters seeking a fresh, visually distinct take on the genre, Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation has arrived with a burst of color and character.
Developed by the indie studio Ciaran Games, this action-packed, hand-drawn FPS channels cartoon energy and dynamic gameplay, delivering a unique experience for PC gamers on the Steam platform. Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation debuted on Steam in early December 2023, introducing players to a vibrant world packed with over-the-top action, intricate cartoon art, and an irreverent sense of humor.
The game's development was powered by GZDoom, a modern, enhanced source port based on the classic ZDoom engine, well-known for its adaptability in recreating retro first-person shooter mechanics.
However, Captain Wayne departs from the traditional Doom aesthetic, favoring a more comedic and vivid visual direction that sets it apart from its influences. Players step into the shoes of Captain Wayne, a flamboyant, cigar-wielding, and hot pink-clad ship captain.
The story thrusts Wayne into chaos as mercenaries attack and maroon him on the dangerous Orca Isle.
Facing off against the notorious Killer Whales mercenary group, Captain Wayne must rely on his signature shotgun arm, aptly named "Ol’ Reliable," and a stash of explosives to blast through waves of enemies.
The quest for survival takes players through eight expansive areas, including picturesque resorts and ancient ruins, as Wayne battles to reclaim his stolen ship. According to Ciaran Games, Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation is billed as a "fast-action" shooter that exists as "half game, half cartoon." The campaign mode weaves animated cutscenes and detailed hand-drawn graphics into the gameplay.
The developers highlight the game’s “action-packed epic” roots, encouraging players to revel in explosive weaponry, dynamic level design, and a raucous soundtrack that amplifies the energy and chaos of each encounter. In addition to the main campaign, the title features an Endless Mode, inviting players to test their skills against relentless enemy waves and push their survival to the limit.
Captain Wayne's arsenal is designed for maximum destruction, giving players ample opportunity to experiment and cause mayhem across a diverse array of locales on Orca Isle. Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation is now available on Steam with an introductory price of £6.74, offering exceptional value for fans eager to dive into its hand-crafted, cartoon-inspired world.
For players who appreciate color, charisma, and carnage in their FPS adventures, this indie release from Ciaran Games is poised to be an unforgettable ride.
