This game is just an incredible amount of fun, and it has the best blood spray system of any shooter in recent memory.

Prodeus
Description
Prodeus is a first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques and technology. Experience the quality you’d expect from a modern AAA game, designed with retro aesthetics and gameplay that invoke the tech-imposed limits of older hardware.
The game features a hand-crafted campaign from industry FPS veterans, co-op and competitive multiplayer play drawing on classic modes*, a fully integrated level editor, and a built-in community map browser for instantaneous action with nearly limitless levels to play.
Get ready to paint the walls red. This is the Boomer Shooter you’ve been waiting for.
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.

Bounding Box delivers an anachronistic high-wire act, and the perhaps the best shooter outright since Doom Eternal.

8.5/10
Prodeus is an unashamedly loud and brash FPS that manages to put a true modern twist on the retro shooter.

9.5/10
Early Access was kind to Prodeus, as the end result gives us a masterful game with incredible maps, punchy and satisfying gunplay, as well as some kick-ass visuals and sound design.

An awesome Boomer-shooter
A very well made and confident boomer-shooter. It's doing some cool spoofed sprite visuals that work very well and actually look quite good. It features a few different areas throughout that keep the environments looking different and unique. In addition the level design is very competent. Weapons sound and feel good. Very punchy. I will point out that most weapons do have reloads unlike Doom, but I don't feel it hurts the flow of combat in any way. Oh yeah, and there's a LOT of blood.

more Doom-ish than Doom, great fun
Brilliant fast-paced first person shooter with Doom 2 feels. Doom fans will find monsers, weapons and level design very similar. Runs great, loads fast and gives you a ton of fun. Easy enough for lame casual players like me (if you die, you will respawn on nearest Nexus point with all weapons and in-game progress - no complain from mine side). The best spent 20 EUR in a while.

Masterpiece with performance issues
The game is fantastic: music, art direction, gameplay, weapons, .... . It's a 5/5 in everything, a masterpiece of a game, one of those old-style FPS that you can't stop playing because it's just *THAT* good. The only issue is how it runs. I have a 1080TI and the game stutters on me. Sometimes, particularly when there are 10+ creatures on the screen, the game can get frustrating to play and it's a shame. This is an early access so I'm sure the devs will fix the issues but for now I can't give it a 5/5 as a score even it deserves it for everything else.
