    A game that kept me playing until the end, but doesn't hook me enough to drive for an 100 percent completion (which as someone with OCD is rare). Most everything just feels surface level, in the way that the moment-to-moment gameplay is amazing, but there isn't any teeth to really grab me past that.

    Is exactly what it's trying to be, a modern take on the oldschool shooters (these days I think people refer to them as "boomer shooters"), a blend of old style graphics but with flair here and there that would definitely not have run on a high end machine of the time. It looks gorgous to the kind of person who has nostalgia for the time period it's successfully emulating.

If you loved Doom (1993), give this a go!… Expand

    My personal game of the year. This is just boomer-shooter where everything is done right - great and complex level design, fantastic looking and sounds weapons, tone of gore and blood and of course retro look but other than many games from the genre. All of this made Prodeus a new king of boomer-shooters, which deliver us true symphony of destruction!

    Prodeus perfectly NAILS the formula for sci-fi FPS! With *two* great Soundtracks, great pixel art and loads of action.
    There's valid criticism, and I would be excited if there was an "Oldschool mode", with no checkpoints and bottomless gun magazines.

    Sick af AF.
    The amazing enemy sprite work makes blowing everything apart 3x more satisfying. You CAN turn them into 3d models, but only someone who really hates themselves would do that... Makes me wish Quake had the same option. Seriously, I'm on level 22 now and there hasn't been a single level that I didn't rate as "good". (You can rate every level as good or bad after you win).

    A very well made and confident boomer-shooter. It's doing some cool spoofed sprite visuals that work very well and actually look quite good. It features a few different areas throughout that keep the environments looking different and unique. In addition the level design is very competent.

    Weapons sound and feel good. Very punchy. I will point out that most weapons do have reloads    A very well made and confident boomer-shooter.

    The walls are red, painted by the blood of my enemies.

    Game is fun. I love the 3D with the pixelated filter. Another Boomer shooter / doom clone, can't go wrong with that, not a must buy, but it's well worth the price.

    Prodeus is a classic Doom clone through and through, but that isn't a knock at all. It nails the core mechanics well from the level design to pacing. While the enemies feel like reskinned versions of what you're familiar with, the gameplay loop works thanks to some solid shooting mechanics. Even though it lacks real innovation in the space and the multiplayer is practically dead, the inclusion of a map maker along with a plethora of custom maps almost negates those issues. Overall, shooting fans will like this one, and curious players can use as an entry point into the re-merging boomer shooter genre.

    Prodeus is the reincarnation of classic FPS games from the '90s. There isn't much of a story here, but let's be honest, if you are playing this game, it's for the blood and mayhem!
