So close to being a classic

I was moderately excited for this release but avoided supporting it in early access. Every reviewer I trust said it was amazing other than the checkpoint system. After playing through the whole game, I agree with them. I think every level is incredibly enjoyable right up until your first death. At that point, the fun is sucked right out of the room. I'm not sure if it can be fixed without altering the game further, so it's a bit of a smear on an otherwise good shooter. Outside of that obvious issue, I do find Prodeus to be incredibly derivative. It wants to be DOOM so bad, practically begging you think of it in the same light. The monsters are the same, the attitude is the same, and weapons are the same. It wants that prestige of being a classic without earning it, in my opinion. The visuals are stellar. Not much to say there. I do, however, find the enemies hard to see among all the clutter. The biggest offense is the Quad Barrel Shotgun. Kinda sounds like slapping a slice of deli ham on a countertop. As far as recommendations go, I think it's a pass for now. We are in a golden age of shooters and there are so many other games worthy of your support. See Cultic, Hedon, and Nightmare Reaper for shooters heavily inspired by the greats that take the extra step into being something special and unique.

It hits that ol' FPS Pixelated spot

This game satisfies all your senses and then some more. It scratces that ancient itch that started with pixelated FPS titan called Doom. Graphics are straight brutal retro eyecandy thrown at you with the modern GPU machinery. Maps are a joy to traverse, mammoth installations, huge processing alien factories, and as you advance to deeper levels maps become huge interdimensional spaces, corridors and halls. I loved the hall of credits with the faces of the dev team. The game is merciless and throws everything at you, I decided to play in Hard level for starters, that way you get more toxic exploding meat to cut through since your guns are literally the wrath of God in a wide variety of satisfying bringers of merciless justice. You can almost feel in your hand the unnatural steel and the manly crafted mechanisms of your righteousness delivering tools. Despite the advanced hardware you get along the way I found myself coming back to the basic pistol firing single shots, it really feels and sounds like you are sending thunderous piercing bullets of pain. I really love that in monster filled rooms and in boss fights you even get into a dance of death if you catch the rythm. Sometimes you just want straight mayhem as in the old school of fps days, and the sensation of power, no tiresome story. This game delivers that and more.

Doom Eternal as it should have been.

A great mix of Doom '94, Doom 2016, and a little bit of build engine game style. Fast, fluid and visceral gameplay. Complex maps which are worth exploring, great sound and the graphics style is excellent. Well worth it.

Great Retro Shooter, Lame Checkpoints

This game is so much fun, i refuse to deduct any stars just because of a dumb checkpoint system. It basically works like this... First of all, you can't save/load your progress. And when you die, you will respawn at a nearby "nexus point" with 100% health and ZERO progress lost. All enemies you killed remain dead. It sort of works the way Vita Chambers do in Bioshock or Restoration Bays in System Shock. It's kind of a bummer and removes some difficulty from an otherwise challenging game. BUT, who cares? Because this game is incredibly fun and here's why! - Tons of well designed and powerful weapons! Just to name a few... a quad shotgun, plasma rifle, and a "swarmer" that fires a barrage of lock-on micro missiles. All weapons have a great alternative fire mode and add plenty of variety to the combat. - Well designed levels with plenty of secrets! You find key-cards and navigate classically designed FPS levels, but there's a great variety of environments and each place you go has a unique feel to them. - Lots of different enemies! There's a reason Wolfenstein 3d didn't age well while classic doom is still a blast to play. You'll encounter plenty of different enemies that each have their own way of attacking to the player. This keeps the player on their toes at all times! - AMAZING SOUNDTRACK. Andrew Hulshult's work on Dusk, Amid Evil, and Doom Eternal's DLCs were fantastic. And this game is no different. You'll have lots of head banging tunes to jam to while killing stuff in this game. - It's also worth mentioning that despite being made in the Unity Engine, this game performs well on most PCs and looks really good for a retro FPS game. That's all i got! Prodeus is a blast from the past and any fan of retro shooters should pick this up immediately!

An quality throwback to Classic Doom

Prodeus is a game that replicates the structure and design of Classic Doom, and it largely succeeds. The map designs are excellent; varied and full of secrets. The weapons feel great and have impactful gunshot sounds. The enemies explode in fountains of blood. If you want a game that feels like Classic Doom but with some of the visceral qualities of Brutal Doom, this is definitely worth a look. My main complaint is with the theming of the levels and enemies. There's a lot of drab tech environments and the enemies don't express any personality. Despite the gameplay being very fun, the charmless theming did eventually become tiring for me. It leads to the experience feeling samey and repetitive over time. Prodeus needs more charisma, like a Cacodemon with a big toothy grin. But despite all that, Prodeus is quality and worthy of your time. The game ultimately succeeds at what it strives to do.
