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.

Well. What could I say?
That game got me sucked in right after the start of the first level. I immediately felt myself being thrown back into the good old fast shoot everything that moves time.
Right from the get go it triggers the right mix for me. If you didn't like the newer Doom games, but like the old school Doom gameplay with a little bit more freedom on your progress you want to give this game a chance.
For an early access game it feels refined. Had no major glitches, bugs or crashes.
My recommendation is, leave the gfx settings on the settings right out of the box (mine were max resolution and most important sprite gfx instead of 3d models).
If you want more of a Q2 feeling go and turn on the 3d models.
I like this game. I had only played one hour on the launch day, and then it had a quick update, my experience began terrible. Report the bug, upload my logs and wait for a effient fix. When it get a new update, I hope it kick black screens off. Nothing. I will keep this game uninstalled, until someone told me “Hi, Prodeus BS bug is completely patched."
Great FPS. Feels like the old Doom games but with better graphics and tighter gameplay. Would highly recommend. Hopefully the devs keep the updates coming and the game becomes even better than it already is.
I... enjoyed my time through Prodeus. Don't let the 3* rating fool you. I enjoyed the game quite a bit.
The level design is bloody spectacular. Some of the best level design since the original Half-Life.
The music is stellar. Loved it all. Listened to it a lot on youtube.
The shooting feels good and the weapons pack a meaty, sattisfying punch, especially as the gore levels are off the charts.
And the graphics are great for this particular type of game. Aside from Amid Evil, this would be my favorite boomer shooter from a graphical perspective.
But... I can't really recommend the game. As a Doom homage it does well, but it doesn't really go beyond that. By the 3 hour mark I had seen everything the game had to offer. By the 6 hour mark I was slightly bored with it. By the 8 hour mark I was just happy for it to be over. Ironically, the best part of the game was one of the last levels that had you running around a Quake 1-like cathedral, activating switches to ring a bell. Beautiful design. Beautiful encounters.
But aside from that, it's very repetitive and most of the available levels are rather uninteresting.
I especially don't understand the design choice of having a shop that locks gameplay upgrades behind the barrier of you collecting some various bits throughout the levels.
The overworld map is, again, a weird design choice. It doesn't add much except that it blocks you from saving during the levels.
The checkpoint system is downright broken. You die, you respawn at the checkpoint, you don't lose any progress. Feels like a cheat.
I found a custom level that was amazing, though, so there's hope for further life for this game... if the community sticks around. Remains to be seen.
The visuals and audio are top notch but the 1993 maze levels are beyond tedious and way too long. There is also no save option until you finish a level, no thanks.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
