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.
