LET THE SLEEPING GOD DIE

Descent into the depth of The Citadel


THE CITADEL is a hardcore, brutal old-school shooter full of action that's a throwback to the 90's classics that we all love.
Fight through 6 Episodes of 30 action packed levels (and an additional 6 secret levels). Face off against 6 fearsome bosses.
Carry 14 different types of weapons, with obliterating secondary fire functions. Make the world tremble with 3 types of single-use special weapons.

・Unlimited Continues.
・You can continue trying until you break. Hub areas serve as respite if you find the episode to be too difficult.
・Completely skill based: no cheap Hitscanner, all projectiles. You live as good as you dodge.
・Huge enemy variety and diversity. From axe throwing cultists, to suicide drones, to mecha tanks, and flamethrower troopers.

Kick the Opponent into Lava!

・Light-weight enemies can be kicked and stunned. Get your positioning right, and you can also make them fall into a bottomless pit or lava.

Upgradable Weapons

・Some weapons can be upgraded or switched to superior versions.

Gibs!

・Enemies explode into chunks of meat or metals when they die. Ouch!

Optional Features: Leaning and Weapon Jam

The Citadel contains numerous optional features for added replayability and difficulty.

・Leaning can be enabled in a option menu. Dodging is not the only way to avoid the enemy fire.
・Weapon condition features can be enabled in a option menu.
・Automatic weapons can be jammed in the middle of a battle, and they will be eventually broken.

A shooter with eerie atmosphere

Don't forget to turn on weapon jamming and manual weapon reloading, don't play on the easiest difficulty, and you'll get yourself a very nice, gory shooter with a deliciously creepy atmosphere!

Wonderful homage to the games of old.

At the time of me writing this I have played for over 13 hours. I have beat the game twice. While there is not a whole lot of variation aesthetically throughout the game, it does keep a pretty good atmosphere. The overall vibe of the game is pretty unique, sort of a industrial dystopia. The movement in nice, and the platforming in the game is done well. Almost every one of the weapons feels nice and varied, the submachine gun is really the only one I did not enjoy using. The gore system is a good addition to the game, it really gives weight to your shots when they reach their mark. I did have some minor bugs and a few crashes, but I never lost much progress from it crashing. Overall it is a very well done game made by someone who clearly has a passion for old school fps games. I really reccomend anyone try it out.
