Combine the gore and gunplay of Brutal Doom with the reloading mechanics of Tarkov and the story/lore of Evangelion and you have Beyond Citadel. Mechanically exceptional, with pretty great level design and enemy variety along with an atmosphere that is unlike any other game I've played. Not everyone will get a kick out of the excessive gore and sexual elements, but it makes for a very unique experience when placed against other boomer shooters.
Before you read my review: This game definitely isn't for everyone in the same manner that Neon Genesis Evangelion isn't for everyone. It has elements beyond the gore that would unsettle and disturb people in a similar way NGE does. There is a SFW toggle that hides some of this imagery, more specifically the explicit images in loading screens and artworks, but the greater story will still display the same way as far as I can tell even with the nsfw toggles. That being said: In all honesty, if you liked Neon Genesis Evangelion, you'll like this too. It's also a massive improvement on the first game "The Citadel" in every possible way, and I say this having played the games back-to-back to get an easy comparison. The visuals are already good in the first game and get better in the second. The artwork, the sprites, the gore detail, gun detail, etc are all incredible improvements. The gunplay, if you set it to be more complex, has you manually do everything. If you press reload, it'll drop the mag (when applicable) where you can pick it up. To avoid this, you can press X to unload, then R to reload, then if there's no bullet in the chamber you manually ♥♥♥♥ the weapon (slide the bolt/rack it/etc). On some weapons you can load a single bullet into the chamber before reloading, or reload the entire weapon without taking the mag out. The variation in guns is wide enough to give you a lot of favorable options, and they have varying effects on different enemies to give you a reason to use them. Ballistic weapons might do less damage to certain enemies, while energy weapons do more, the same going for explosives. The upgrade system is a standard stat point leveling, armor variants and weapon upgrades, with there being up to 2 attachments for almost every weapon. Weapon upgrades cost 500 gold each, and stat upgrades are obtained by finding idols (represented as chibi linearts of the Martyr) to upgrade HP/Stamina/Food, movement speed, carrying capacity, etc. There are two armor categories: Permanent and breakable. Permanent armor is what you wear on the model ingame: the cloths/skinsuit. They provide flat damage reduction and never break, and have no debuffs. Breakable armor is upkept by picking up armor shards from armor stands or certain enemies, and ranges between four armors: Stripped (Base armor value, no movement reduction) Light (no/minor movement reduction, better defense) Medium (slight movement reduction, greater defense) and Heavy (large movement reduction, best defense). Breakable armors will take a portion of the damage dealt to you and apply it to your armor instead, with that portion becoming larger the more armor you have/heavier your armor is. Finally the story. It's a doozy, and is exactly why I said if you like Evangelion you'd like this game. In the first game the story is a lot harder to understand because it's shoved a bit further back, but if you spend time on it you could find it out. But this game not only improves on presenting the story, it also wraps up the first game's story pretty well. It has a lot of dark implications that get simultaneously darker and clearer as the story progresses until finally giving us the reveals in the latter half that solidify what you might be questioning. It's hard for me to say much else without spoiling the game, and there's definitely something I missed in my review on the gameplay, but I couldn't just let my review be the short and simple things I would usually think to leave when I do.
I came into both this game and the first expecting somewhat of a hidden gem or enjoyable niche. I came out of it as one of my top 5 FPS's easily and a reloading/ammo mechanic so good it retroactively makes me upset that this and only a couple shooters have it. Many indie FPS games walk in the shoes of DOOM, Duke Nukem or even Blood, but very rarely do they follow in the steps of Marathon and both games have earned those shoes by right of its crisp gameplay and very interesting drip-fed lore and world. You may be wondering why I am using very loose language to phrase the game I think so highly of, and that is because I urge folks to play it for themselves. Get the first game, The Citadel, and if you can't get past the gore combined with the soft anime style, Then I guess it wasn't meant to be. There are settings to turn the gore off, but I personally think that does actually take away from the game itself. A major worry that I see a lot of folks having before they go in is "Is this a fetish game?" No, I wouldn't call either game a ryona or H-game. It has elements, and the dev almost currently brandishes a few crosses in that aspect but the game itself is made with the intention of being an actual game you engage with and play, not just an "interactive medium" for some sort of porn or fetish. We respect authors who use their mental illness and screwed up kinks for good, not evil. It is an Marathon-style FPS at the end of the day. And a damn great spiritual successor worthy of the title. I now wait eagerly, like a hamster at the end of a drip-feed, for any and all updates for a 3rd game and only wish for success for this franchise and dev.
