    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. The level design is varied and really interesting.
    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

    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.

    There’s no depth here, no sense of ambition to do anything novel with the genre. But it’s just a good time, and picking out super-long-distance headshots is never not satisfying. Don’t expect to have your life changed, but do expect some 90s-ish FPS entertainment.

    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.

    It is not on the same level as other retro-inspired shooters, such as DUSK, but one thing I always say is that not every game has to be the best, just as long as the player found it fun, and with Kingdom of the Dead, I found it entertaining from beginning to end. Kingdom of the Dead is worth checking out for people who want to step away from complexity for a bit and just shoot something without having to think much about it. Sometimes life needs simple things to have a good time.
