* GameWithinAGame: You spend the earlier stages fighting gangsters, corrupt cops, and enemies which are entirely human... until you reach a game console built into a wall. Triggering it leads you to a whole different level called "Pain 1999", that inexplicably transports you to a high-tech lab filled with green-skinned mutants (it's also an FPS though, just one with a sci-fi setting rather than an urban one). What's even weirder is that you're no longer human in said stage, you're a SkeleBot9000 and a blatant clone of the [[Franchise/{{Terminator}] T-800]]! Finish the stage and you return to the regular, non sci-fi gameplay.

* StylisticSuck: The game emulates 1993 graphics all the way, right down to constant animation errors, clipping issues, and enemies randomly floating in the air.

* PoliceAreUseless: The South Slovenko law enforcement frankly sucks at their jobs, either getting killed with ease, ignoring gangster activity, or choosing to attack ''everyone'' for no reason.


Added DiffLines:

* WretchedHive: South Slovenko in a nutshell, where there are mobsters, punks, drug dealers and assorted criminal filth ''every'' corner. The police are depicted as rather incompetent, too, attacking everybody in sight, even you.

--> Burn! Destroy! Kill! Kill! Kill!
---> A rather brief summary of [[ExcusePlot what the hell is the plot about]]

''Sharpshooter 3D'' is a 2018 FirstPersonShooter developed by Russian company [=HeadHunter=] Games, using a [[GameMod mod]] based on the original ''Franchise/{{Doom}}''.

As in, the very first ''Doom'' from way back in 1993. And adapted for a game of a whole different genre, some two-and-a-half decades later.

Set in the crime-infested city of South Slovenko, corruption and incompetence from local politicians have resulted in gangsters, thugs, drug addicts and assorted lowlives running the streets. With the city overwhelmed by assorted criminal activity, only you can restore order and peace by kicking, punching, stabbing, and killing your way through the crime-infested underworld.

!! Welcome home!
* AirVentPassageway: Shows up in a few areas, where you enter knee-high vents to get in and out of buildings.
* ArmedWithPepperSpray: Some policemen enemies carries pepper sprays, which they'll use on you - getting hit makes you dizzy and unable to control your character for a few seconds, as other mooks rags at your health. You can also obtain pepper sprays from dead cops and use it on mooks - enemies killed by the spray will regurgiate ''green'' vomit [[VomitIndiscretionShot onscreen]]!
* {{Autosave}}: One of the features available. The words "Autosave" even pops out every time.
* BadGuyBar: Pretty much ''every'' single pub, bar or nightclub in Slovenko are owned by local thugs, leading to a BarBrawl happening the moment you step into one.
* BarbellBeating: One of the melee weapon is a kettlebell you can use like a club.
* CampingACrapper:
** Early in the game, you're dragged into a prison's toilet for some unknown reasons. You then kill an overweight inmate using the ceramic toilet cover and escapes, still holding on the same cover for beating up mooks who gets in your way.
** The pub level also contains a toilet with enemies inside the cubicles. That you can kill.
* ChainsawGood: The chainsaw, one of the best melee weapons, which can be collected real early in the game if you access a hidden area (outside some druggies' den).
* CopKiller: Local law enforcement officers of Slovenko occasionally appears, and you ''need'' to kill them since they're eager to arrest everyone in sight. There's also areas where policemen and gangsters are attacking one another.
* ExcusePlot: There are gangsters, you're caught in their territory, and you simply fight your way out without any plot whatsoever.
* FullFrontalAssault:
** The prison toilets area contains overweight ''naked'' thugs. Yeah. They will attack you despite their lack of clothing, and luckily the game have decency to censor their crotches.
** ''More'' naked thugs will appear in a sauna level. At least ''a dozen'' of them.
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:The mayor turns out to be a tentacled alien monster. You kill it and escape, and then the game ends without an answer of what the hell just happened]].
* GameWithinAGame: You spend the earlier stages fighting gangsters, corrupt cops, and enemies which are entirely human... until you reach a game console built into a wall. Triggering it leads you to a whole different level called "Pain 1999", that inexplicably transports you to a high-tech lab filled with green-skinned mutants (it's also an FPS though, just one with a sci-fi setting rather than an urban one). What's even weirder is that you're no longer human in said stage, you're a SkeleBot9000 and a blatant clone of the [[Franchise/{{Terminator}] T-800]]! Finish the stage and you return to the regular, non sci-fi gameplay.
* GangWar: South Slovenko is in the middle of a ''huge'' one, which the authorities are barely putting any effort in stopping. You're caught in the middle and can join the fun.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: After fighting your way through the gangs of Slovenko, you confront it's mayor, the CorruptPolitician who's behind the city's corruption, [[spoiler: only for his entire upper body to burst open and reveal a tentacled, insectoid, alien-like creature living underneath. Who's been using the mayor's body MobileSuitHuman-style]]. Kill it and the game abruptly ends.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: You can collect beer bottles to beat up punks with. It breaks after a few hits, and the now-sharpened bottom can be used for improvised stabbing. Alternatively, you can also throw bottles at mooks if you have a backup weapon.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Drug addicts will try stabbing you with... syringes. They're expectedly not very good fighters because of their limited reach.
* InvulnerableCivilians: Citizens and bystanders not involved in the gang war (like a cowering bartender in the nightclub, or those scantily-clad bargirls in mohawks) doesn't attack you and can't be killed, they simply ignore your attacks no matter what you throw at them.
* ManOnFire: There's a special animation for mooks killed by fiery weapons (rolls of burning papers, fireworks, petrol bombs, etc) where they're entirely set alight, running around in circles before dying.
* MeleeATrois: Occasionally, you might come across different gangster mobs or groups of policemen and thugs actively attacking each other, and you're welcomed to join the fray. Onscreen enemies will prioritize in attacking you, but those in a distance will fight one another instead. And ''yes'', the [=NPCs=] can hurt or kill each other.
* MolotovCocktail: Yeah... besides the aforementioned beer bottles you use as a melee weapon? You can also combine them with gasoline, a cloth, and a lighter. Guess what happens next.
* PrisonRiot: A level set in a prison have a massive brawl between prisoners and shielded riot police in the courtyard that you need to fight your way through, one of the many MeleeATrois moments in the game.
* RescueEquipmentAttack: You can obtain a fire extinguisher at one point in the prison escape. If it's loaded you'll blast foam on enemies as an attack, and if it's empty you throw it with deadly impact.
* ShieldBearingMook: Policemen armed with riot shields are another enemy type. Try aiming above the shields, otherwise they'll absorb your hits forever.
* SlashedThroat: Try aiming for the jugulars if you happen to be armed with an edged weapon (e.g. a broken beer bottle). Mooks have a special animation where a small geyser of blood spills out their throats, which they'll desperately grab with their hands before keeling over.
* ThisIsADrill: You can collect a handheld power drill for digging holes in skulls of enemies.
* ThrowingYourGunAtTheEnemy: If you're holding a firearm out of bullets, pressing shoot will have you throwing it in front of you. It inflicts mediocre damage on mooks, and the gun can be picked up again after each throw.
* AWinnerIsYou: You exposed the Mayor [[spoiler:as a creepy-looking alien monster]] and kills him at the end of the game. Followed by a bunch of random panels depicting concept art, photos of the developers, a quick shot of one of the producer's cat (!!!), and the company logo over credits. Then the game finishes.
