Final Response
A downloadable game for Windows
Final Response is an ultra brutal side-scrolling shooter with extremely advanced gore system, semi-open world (connected areas), plenty of weapons to use, dynamic day and night cycle, sandbox mode, object spawn menu and customizable gameplay options.
The game is very brutal, it features many gory mechanics such as surface based wound system, many amputation points for dismemberment, highly detailed blood spilling, permanent mess, prolonged death animations affected by physics and many more.
The game is made to be dark and edgy, but that's a part of it's charm.

The sound of each weapon in the video game: are they your own or are they recycled sounds from other games?
They are not from other games, I made them heavily edited from samples my friend provided
It pleases me,they sound singular.Good work.
best 5 dollars ive ever spent! Just a couple suggestions, let me know what you think of them
make enemies able to get up after being thrown but not killed
use leaden sky's new movement/animation system
Using Leaden Sky animation and movement system is not possible, those games are not compatible at all and use completely different code, character proportions and character physics. The gore is also not compatible with multiple sprites for limbs that Leaden Sky uses for advanced animation.
Ah, that's unfortunate. would it be possible to re-work the health system to make enemies losing health over time make more sense? i feel like they lose health too quickly, and from too insignificant injuries
It's possible to adjust and modify, reworking the entire system is not planned
awesome! i hope you consider changing it. love your games dude!
love this game, question, is it getting update anytime soon?
Currently not, I'm busy with my main project, but when I'm done there might be another update or two this year
Hello everybody in case anyone is playing on Steam Deck I made a Controller Layout.Just rename the game to "Final Response"
how do paranormal abilities work
also how do wickeds work and those weird skeleton soul things that fuck up my guys head? I never really understood their mechanics
You charge the special ability bar by grabbing and torturing enemies, it regenerates your health aswell.
The "demon mode" activates once the special ability bar is above 1% and lasts as long as the bar is visible on screen.
"demon mode" gives you increased strength (throwing enemies further), passive health regeneration, ability to see in darkness, increased weapon accuracy and damage and resistance to attacks from ghosts.
can i throw spikes at people?
if so then im buying this
You can do everything you did in the old U4 and much more
Hell yeah
best 5 dollars ill ever spend
your peak and keep up the good work
Thanks a lot, have fun
would i be able to get a role? my username is mrantdude
Here you go
have you thought of a steam release? I'm sure it would do great as an indie game there and I'd love to have something like this on my steam library
Hey there, Steam release is possible in the future
I already bought it here but I bet if you did that your sales would skyrocket!
Hello, can I get a role please, username is thatoneYOUTUBEguy.
Hey there, I gave you the role, welcome to the community!
i already paid for this game about a year ago, how do i get it back?
If you already paid for this game you can simply re-download it by logging into your itch.io account navigating to your games libary, if for some reason you don't have it there you can contact itch.io support: https://itch.io/support
im struggling to install final response, it keeps saying Make sure you trust Final Response Update 4.exe before you open it. i trust the file yet nothing happens. as well, do i need a launcher of some sort to launch the game? it keeps bringing me to word or notes lol.
Hello there, there are few things you can try:
- launch in Windows 7 compability mode
- run as administrator
- or you can try installing DirectX9 from official Microsoft website:
https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/download/details.aspx?id=35
thank you, ive tried running it as administrator yet nothing changed unfortunately. apparently i have a a newer version of DirectX (it tells me that a newer version is already installed) yet im not sure how to access it. im also on windows 11. its the same situation with leaden sky
I'm also using Windows 11, for me installing DirectX9 worked, but perhabs you are using a laptop? There are certain system differences there.
Also you can try this one, it should install older DirectX even if you have newer one already:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
I had the same problem try right clicking and looking through options I figured it out through there
PLEASE make a infinite health cheat im begging i want to be a omega strong guy punching dudes into oblivion
Press F1 > type "help" > type "god=1" and hit ENTER
Thnak you :)
Hey! Im just wondering if its supports PHP?
Nope
Hey ! Love your game. Is it possible to give me the role to access the discord (username is haagrahparyxl)
Hello there, I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my game!
I gave you the member role, welcome to the server ;)
I recently discovered your game "Final Response" on itch.io. I have to tell you—it looks amazing, and I’m incredibly excited about it. The concept, art style, and atmosphere truly resonated with me, and I’ve never felt so eager to play an indie title like this.
However, I currently live in a region where international payments are very difficult. I don’t have access to a PayPal account or any international credit/debit card, so I’m unable to complete the purchase through itch.io at the moment.
Please know that I fully respect your work and believe you absolutely deserve to be paid for it. If I had the means, I would gladly buy the game today. I promise that as soon as I gain access to an international payment method, I will make sure to buy it and support you properly.
If there is any way I could play the game now—whether it’s through a temporary key, a demo, or even a limited trial—I would be forever grateful. But I also understand if that’s not possible. I simply wanted to express how much your work means to me.
hey there, could i get a role in the server? my username is superr9 (i can't see any messages in the server)
Hello there, I gave you the role, enjoy!
Contact itch.io support, they are controlling the purchase system: https://itch.io/support
you should add grabbing people by the leg
the latest file is detected by virustotal for some reason, probably false positive tho
Yes, it's a false-positive, the issue would probably go away if I made an installer instead of single exe file
Thanks for replying! one last thing i wanted to ask is if there's a discord server for this game (i couldn't find the link)
-edit: found it, username is superr9
https://discord.com/invite/wypAvkQGvh
sorry if im asking too many questions, but could i get a role? username is superr9
nice
why can't i see anything in the server.
can i get a role username is _bezns
Done, you have the role
Could I get the role on Discord? My username is functioncos.
Done, enjoy
For some reason I got kicked from the server without any warning and I didn't say anything that would break the rules either. Do you have any clue as to why?
No idea, try rejoining
Yeah I just rejoined, did I get kicked for my profile picture? I have nothing in my bio or status and I can't think of any other reason. My profile picture isn't offensive or rulebreaking either though.
I don't think so, I only kicked some furry guy due to other users requests.
hey how do you run the game windowed?
Try Alt+Enter
yeah that doesnt work not for me at least
isnt there literally a windowed option when you boot
unless im blind literally no
my name is nugglear2 im on the discord pls give me the role
Done
add an option for less brutal stuff like instead of a sledgehammer completely destroying someones head make it a bit harder and more gradual along with an option for less blood like old leaden sky also pls add back the old throat shots and stabs again with some other death animations like old leaden sky
like in this https://youtu.be/ZTzvjJw1gCs?si=MJNZ-74MU0OXVchi
It depends, sometimes it's destroying the head, sometimes there is a large dent, the small dent in head that you showed on old video would be pretty underwhelming considering the size of the hammer so the effect is stronger.
Also npcs grab their throat sometimes and you can disable extra blood from main menu in the recent version
yo could you give me member role on the discord server? name is scout
Here you go, enjoy!
What is this games discord server? Because I really like this game and I got this game today and it was worth it. When I join the server can you give me member role?
