A cyberpunk-styled fast-paced action shooter with retro FPS DNA, released in 2024 by an indie developer.

Fida Puti Samurai sits at an interesting inflection point: it has built a small but devoted player base (best-month activity suggests solid traction at launch) and maintains strong sentiment (91% positive), yet has received zero promotional support in the last year and sits dormant on the developer's radar (last studio post was 16 months ago). The opportunity is modest but genuine for a publishing partner willing to run a low-risk revival campaign, discount promotions, targeted regional marketing (Brazilian, Russian, and German communities are present), and minor QoL fixes (sound design improvements players explicitly request) could unlock meaningful residual uplift without engineering overhead. Better suited for acquisition than restoration of a failed title: the game works, the audience is real, and the studio appears inactive. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Retro FPS is a crowded segment (Doom, Duke Nukem 3D homages) with established competition; expansion beyond the current 3-11 concurrent player range will require differentiation, not just visibility.
• Risk: Community feedback highlights sound design and balancing gaps that may require dev engagement; if developer (Zanardi and Liza, fading studio status) is unavailable, fixes become costlier or require reverse-engineering.
• Risk: Zero discount activity in 12 months suggests the title may have been delisted or deprioritized by the publisher; clarify backend status and publishing agreement before commitment.
