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

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
In its current state, this game doesn't do anything particularly new or different than any number of other shooters and is very similar to doom, almost to a fault (at least in setting and enemy design).
But it does what it does so damn well, it feels like a refreshingly new experience that I would highly reccomend, especially to those who really love the Brutal Doom Mod.
Everything here has a weighty, chunky feel to it that is difficult to describe, but I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
The content already on offer is more than enough to justify a purchase. And I'm VERY impressed with the fan-made levels that are already available.
Anyways, LOVED THIS GAME, and think it fits in great with all the other recent Boomer Shooters.
A poor Doom clone with sub par weapons and a LOUSY save system. Take that checkpoint junk back to console land where it sucked as well. The spawns popping in are such a cop out in level design. There is barely enough health to go and there is almost NO ammo for the good weapons. All in all a poor choice I wish I'd not made.
Hoooly cow!!!
The name of this movie is called "LESSON LEARNED"
PRODEUS has succeded extremely well to adapt modern DooM to an all timer FPS game. Basically it adapts all the mechanics that present DooM has to embed it into an old school FPS, just the way you'd love it.
It is so good, it can even trick you to think this is a DooM sequel without having any plagiarism feeling : even Andrew Hulshult scored this one! Riffs, riffs and blood and more riffs!
I could write tons of things to convince you, but you know what? If you have grown up like me, listening to Meshuggah and Fear Factory, you miss the first Quake (yeah the one with Reznor's soundtrack) after having played dozens of souless FPS, but you loved Doom (2016) and Eternal....THEN...this is the pixel butcher you was praying for!
ALREADY A MASTERPIECE
I originally backed the game even though I disliked the visuals, because it was said I can turn off the retro look. This is currently true only partially, as you can for example change monsters to 3D models, but any pickups or pre-placed gibs will still be 2D sprites. And this mix will make the game look weird. Also I initially played the Alpha on gamepad and it wasn't a great experience, mainly due to cumbersome weapon switching system.
But for EA, I switched to slower computer with m+k and the experience changed drastically. Due to slower hardware, I was forced to pick up the retro visuals and reduce the resolution to 270p. From this point on, I had so much fun with the game! The "downgraded" visuals play into game strengths, obscuring the fact it uses only three colors most of the time (grey, red and white - I cannot describe how much I miss colorful monsters from Doom Eternal).
Mouse is really a must have for this game since nailing headshots is essential, so you won't run out of ammo all of the time on medium difficulty. This is even more pronounced by the fact that pistol is essentially powerful as a sniper rifle, while shotgun works as expected only if you showe it directly in the demon's mouth. Weapon switching still cumbersome, but you have the number keys to your help.
Apart from normal levels, you can also try particulary clever and addictive time trials and of course community maps that add a lot of extra hours to the gameplay. As for the level editor itself - it is far more complex than SnapMap or classic DoomBuilder, but given the ambices, that isn't a bad thing, it just requires way more dedication to get into it over the two mentioned.
Overall, this is a great buy, even in EA, even with 5-6 hour campaign so far. If you can play on m+k, love classic Dooms and disliked Doom Eternal and SnapMap, buy this. But be prepared for sort of boring color pallete, weird level and weapon switching, weak-feeling shotgun and complex editor.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
