    Kingdom of the Dead is the work of a developer who understands what makes classic first-person shooters so fun and captivating. The game is unafraid to be a little unfair. It takes skill to chain headshots, it is hard to deal with big groups of mixed enemies, especially on the higher difficulties. But it feels very good when you ace a boss fight with just a bit of health left over.

    Kingdom of the Dead is a classic FPS experience that shines thanks to its horror element and its unique audiovisual approach.

    Kingdom of the Dead is a true love letter to arena shooters and the horror genre. This game stands out among its peers and its visual design, as well as its soundtrack, highlight how unique DIRIGO's style is. It won't be for everyone, as the same things that make the experience tight and replayable can paradoxically make it repetitive and unengaging. Despite this risk, anyone with an interest should absolutely check out Kingdom of the Dead and enjoy some good old-fashioned demon hunting.

    Poor visual presentation and bugs hold back Kingdom of the Dead from truly shining.

    KINGDOM of the DEAD is a pretty damned good horror FPS with enough compelling ideas to stand on its own. The monochrome, hand-drawn visuals really sell the game’s Lovecraftian-noir tone, without interfering with gameplay. Plus, its varied additional mission objectives make its difficulty settings feel more multi-layered. Still, with its short play-time, minimal plot, and lack of unlockable content, it won’t be engaging for everyone. However, for those looking for some retro FPS fun, KINGDOM of the DEAD is a unique enough experience to be worth the recommendation.

    KINGDOM of the DEAD has some potential to be a good old-school FPS game, but bugs, strange design decisions, poor variability of weapons or enemies and uninteresting bossfights pull it down.

    KINGDOM of the DEAD is nice. Sadly, that's all there is to say about it. Putting the neat "ink & paper" art style and unique synth OST aside, what's left is a way too simplistic love letter to mid '90s FPS games that just doesn't manage to impress in any way. Fun, but it's the one evening kind of fun.

    Good-
    The gameplay is really fast paced and fun. It reminds me of Wolfenstein or Quake. The enemy encounters are well thought out and fun.    Good-

    Bad-
    The bosses are just not fun to fight. The game is so hard to see and even the brightest settings make the game extremely difficult to even see what is going on. The game crashed on me so so many times and it definitely ruined the experience with how often it was

    Thoughts-
    It is not a perfect game but if you enjoy games like Quake or Doom you will find some level of enjoyment but unless you can put up with game breaking bugs I would not recommend this fully.    … Expand
