AMID EVIL

Amazing game! Play some power metal in the backround for the ultimate experince.

Tihs game has most pluses: great music that changes inside one level, great levels that are diffenrent even inside them but are sticked to the main theme of dungeon. This game has great hard fightings that are completeable. Minuses: bosses are easy, quick load can make you fall down and no multiplayer. Much games likes to be realistics. The main line of this game is to be maximally unreal and has beauty in it, as much as possible.

Spritework? MASTERFUL and STUNNING Movement and input latency? BEAUTIFUL and RESPONSIVE Weapons? Only a few, but all make sense have abilities you gcan rock your balls off to and man the ebst weapon since the invention of sliced bread, SHOOT PLANETS and BLACK HOLES. Sound? FANTASTIC Soundtrack. HEIL DEM GROßMEISTER ANDREW HULSHULT! Level Design? Can I for just one second not shout how brilliant it is? IT´S BRILLIANT Story? That´s where it crumbles. Kinda, I said in its genre, not in comparison with Rollercoaster Blockbuster Number 0948948#, but the esoteric "magickal" makes it unique like hexen did once. Spookingly atmopsheric worlds inspired by all kinds of Acid trips and the occult. Ever heard of Melchizedek? Theocracy and government systems you were unaware of? There´s a star of melchizedek and it made me google it, and go down the rabbit hole of western and middle eastern abrahamism. Brb gonna continue my occult studies into freemasonry, rosecreaux, thule, bahai, scientology, anthrosophy, theosophy and charles manson at this point Kappa. I love this kind of little droplet that, through self action and research goes on deus ex levels of knowledge seeking in video games even if it´s just triggered by a single symbol of meaning that was once forgotten in certain belief systems. It can get kind of tedious after a while, but ít´s always entertaining. boss fights are bit unbalanced with the mace (don´t know if already patched) and well, recycling one boss once is a bit of a shame. But in total, barely anything I´d hate except maybe that combat is too simplistic. Some of the songs though, I fell in trance and studied with it. I can´t even tell you how immersed I got into this games world once I smoked a fat blunt and just lost track of time. All time favorite together with dusk!

I had a lot of fun with it Pros Fun combat true enemy variety weapon variety beautiful visuals Long Levels Cons floaty movement weak narrative generic atmosphere Underwhelming bosses Difficulty inconsistent (on hard you're able to cheese most bosses in under 30 seconds, enemies are a decent challenge, while bosses do absolutely nothing to you) Overall really good, I prefer Dusk tho

If you like classic first person shooters like Quake, Doom, Heretic or Blood, this game is a no-brainer, you should get it without a second thought. Along with Ion Fury and DUSK it is a fantastic and very, very well done retro-shooter. Graphics are gorgeous, it runs on pretty much any hardware (my PC is crap but it runs AE smoothly), it's fast and difficult and it has a great level design. Highly recommended!
