Half-Life remade as a roguelike, approved by Valve, and playable now
Half-Life is starting to feel like its own, dedicated art scene. From the original Valve FPS game, to the expansion packs Blue Shift and Opposing Force, and beyond, we've seen YouTube machinima series, datamined re-releases of beta versions, and a mod that makes Gordon Freeman carry a cardboard box throughout the whole of Black Mesa (we'll come back to that later). But this is something new. Half-Life Loop remakes the sci-fi shooter as a top-down, twin-stick-style shooter with roguelike elements. It's been approved for Steam by Valve itself, and you can play it right now. If Gordon Freeman ever said a word, he'd be looking at this and screaming 'heck yeah.'
