Half-Life 1 Has Been Remade As A Top-Down Roguelike

Half-Life 1 is one of the best first-person shooters ever made, and its fan community is still going strong nearly 25 years after its release. A developer who goes by PinkyDev has recreated the original Half-Life as an isometric twin-stick shooter, and the developer says that Valve has given its permission to put the fan-game on Steam.

Originally titled Half-Life Loop (now called Codename Loop to prevent confusion), the premise of the game is that G-Man has trapped series hero Gordon Freeman in an infinite loop of challenges to test his mettle. Though the original idea was to make a Half-Life roguelike, PinkyDev says that they’re now focusing on creating linear campaigns for the mod.
