The next game by the creators of Steins;Gate is an entirely vibe-coded FPS slopfest

Juggernaut is a new free-to-play first-person shooter from Japanese studio Mages Inc, known for the popular visual novel series Steins;Gate. The game features players shooting waves of zombies in flat, pixelated arenas. While the game's appearance is unremarkable, Mages Inc has announced the release of a paid tool called the Juggernaut Assets Maker, which allows players to create their own levels and add custom assets.

The studio's first foray into the first-person shooter genre is entirely AI-driven, with 100% of its source code, 60% of its graphics, 50% of its sound, and 100% of its effects generated by generative AI. This heavy reliance on AI has raised some concerns among Steam users, who question the value of games created in this manner.

Despite the controversy, Mages Inc's previous titles, such as Steins;Gate and its sequel Steins;Gate Re:Boot, have received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.
