FEATURES
Retro look, modern era
Shooters past and present collide with graphics that combine today’s high-quality 3D tech with retro visuals. Experience over-the-top explosions of lo-fi pixels and hi-tech particle effects as you clash against the Prodeans and forces of Chaos.
Pure retro FPS chaos
Steel yourself for fast and frantic nonstop action. Blast and blaze your way through hordes of chaos-spawned creatures using an arsenal of classically over-the-top weapons.
Raining red
Splatter the steel walls and alien halls with the blood of your enemies. Experience the gory thrills of the elder shooters, dialed up to 11 thanks to Prodeus’s delightfully demented dismemberment system.
Community-crafted levels
Unleash your inner map designer with Prodeus’s powerful but easy-to-use level editor, and keep the visceral combat fresh with a built-in browser filled with community-created maps.
Multiplayer Mayhem
Team up and go head-to-head in a variety of multiplayer modes. Take on the campaign in 4-player co-op, and dive into the fray in 16-player Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF, and more—then take things to the next level by creating and sharing custom game modes.
Frag to the Music
Burst blood vessels listening to a supercharged metal soundtrack by retro FPS composer Andrew Hulshult that dynamically changes gears to accompany your actions.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
... would have saved me the disappointment of Doom TDA.
Absolutely great game if you dig the original Doom games. Lots of additional (user generated maps available. Integrated level editor.
Sheesh. This rocks :D
Prodeus feels like a game from alternate timeline, where Quake has never happened and id software made a third Doom instead, using semi-3D approach to graphics - everything but environments being sprites. It's fast, it looks good (if you don't like pixelated retro look there are ways to adjust it) guns are punchy and satisfying and gore is so over the top that it gives Brutal Doom a run for its' money.
It plays a bit like Doom 2016, but with less linear level design, you'll find yourself revisiting areas and hunt for keys/buttons to press to unlock new passages just like in Doom and Doom 2. However, game barely makes you backtracking through empty halls, enemies either spawn on your way back or new parts of level geometry get unlocked to release monsters.
Game favours exploration as secrets are plentiful and they usually give you currency you can use in shop to buy access to weapons and upgrades or even new abilities like double jump and dash. It feels good to have saved enough of ore to buy a new "toy" to unleash upon opponents.
When it comes to monsters, there's a slight minus that doesn't impact score, though. They feel like reskins of classic Doom 1 and 2 monsters, which is a bit boring. There are some unique designs with attack patterns that didn't appear in Doom titles, but for the most part you won't really be surprised by anything.
Weapons are neat and have alternate fire (majority of them). I won't spoil much, but if you need a gun to be "sold" on the game, quad barrel shotgun it is. You can fire from all chambers at one or one by one. You can also take one or two shots to down fodder enemies and then unload rest into stronger enemy.
Overall, if you are into old school shooters, get it. Game runs well on low end systems, even a joke of a card like GTX 1650 will carry it at locked 60fps in 1080p.
I think this is more-or-less what many had anticipated in Doom 3. Simple formula, fast weapon swapping, blood everywhere. Play with guts and instinct. Fans of old-school ID will likely enjoy. Fantastic aesthetics and overall gritty feel, AI could be a bit more strategic.
Excited to see the final release.
