A different style of DOOM game. The secrets that give you perks and blood gems make you significantly stronger, some even changing how you play completely without having to increase the difficulty. Some of the secrets are very old school with some references to games of the olden era, Blood, Doom, Duke Nukem, Mortal Kombat, even the Terminator. The music in this game slaps hard, E3M1 Dead Sails really got the old juices flowing. Highly recommend! Full-price and on sale!

Soft Recommend, I had trouble getting into this at first, so much of the level design felt same-y, but then it won me over after episode 2, I'll always be a sucker for Ice and Desert Worlds. Very fun weapons and a soundtrack that just keeps chugging along, I think the most creativity went into designing and hiding all the secrets. The bow and throwable katana are the things that will eventually bring me back for a replay, both felt so good

This is a weird one. This is mostly a solid Doom Eternal-ish indie shooter with varied and mostly great-to-look-at levels, mostly satisfying gunplay, and all that jazz. But it's just bogged down with design decisions that are just bizarre, man. And not the good kind of bizarre. What is this save system? Why are there survival horror save points in my fast-paced boomer-shooter? Why does the game autosave after an absolute non-issue like me pulling a lever, but not before the gоddamn boss fights and not at the start of the level? I HATE E2M5 with passion precisely because of this. Why is the main progression system almost entirely locked behind secrets? Why are some of those secrets platforming challenges? Why does a 6/6 on ammo counter means that I have 6 shells left? Why does the rocket launcher splash damage zone look way smaller than it actually is? Why do half the enemy attacks lack any visual feedback for damage taken? Why does the Gluon gun variant lack literally any impact whatsoever? Why can I just casually walk right past the pre-final boss gauntlet? All of this isn’t a big deal by itself, but man, this stuff adds up quick and makes this game feel mediocre as a result. If you're new to indie shooters, there are dozens of better ones out there. If you’ve already played them, you can still get some enjoyment out of this, I guess. 6/10

(playthrough difficulty set to hard, not sure how things change in hell/nightmare atm) I don't really get the people calling this game mid, this is honestly a solid af boomer shooter that sets itself apart via the rune system, from basic stat upgrades to playstyle-enabling gold runes this game basically lets you play however you want while also encouraging secret hunting (cuz most of the good stuff is hidden behind secrets and super secrets) there's a good amount of level variety (with a lot of nods & references mostly found in secrets/super secrets), the enemies are well designed (for the most part, the flying bugs that explode can go bite me), the weapons are cool and fun to dick around with, again for the most part. The main outlier here for me is the rocket launcher (& by extension the tri-rocket launcher), they both feel awfully weak even with max weapon damage runes and you can't rocket jump at all for some reason, which is weird because one of the gold runes for the rocket launcher significantly reduces self damage, so you'd think that would let you rocket jump but that didn't work :( Regardless, I had tons of fun blasting demons in 6 gorillion pieces while listening to some baller heavy music (shoutout to E3M5 best track if you know you know) Also this is a solo dev project lol they had me fooled i thought this was a small team at least considering how polished it it but no it's one person, mad props
