It's a fantastic FPS game with some level design and production issues. As far indie shooters go, I would say this one is a gem. Many indie shooters are just straight up "run and gun" games that require little skill as long as you keep moving. "Dread Templar" is more of a strategic fast paced shooter similar to games like Turok or Doom 2016. If you simply run in and shoot everything on the harder difficulties, you will die. This game requires a lot of consideration on weapon usage and you have to switch weapons a lot to survive. The game gives you a katana weapon that you can throw like a spear and this is a lot of fun to use. As you progress, you stumble upon "runes" which are basically weapon upgrades that can dramatically alter the game play. Some give you totally new weapons and abilities and you can create a build more suited to your playstyle. I kind of loved this element because it does reflect the style of a skill tree you'd see in modern roguelike games without bogging the combat down with too much technical detail. The only issue is that a lot of the runes are hidden in "super secrets" that are almost impossible to find. The game treats these as puzzles, but they're ridiculously hidden and it's likely almost everyone looked them up due to the fact that just navigating in this game is difficult. The graphics certainly aren't bad, but the game uses a very repetitive texture pattern and it's extremely easy to get lost. There's no map or compass, so the thought of finding secrets in a game where just orienting yourself to move in the right direction is difficult seems kind of extreme even for the most obsessive players. The locations of the secrets are available online, but doing it that way can make it a tad unsatisfying for players who don't want to spend countless hours exploring maps with no hints or feedback given. Once you kill all the enemies on a stage they stay dead, so you can explore at your leisure, but regardless, I would have liked it more if the rune challenges relied more on "logic" puzzles than "push this random wall texture in the dark." It's even worse on the harder difficulties because you won't even find health unless you access the secret areas. The game doesn't let you save anywhere, but you can use the save points as much as you want. I wish the game limited saves the same way games like Resident Evil do because killing a few enemies and going back and saving diminishes the risk and challenge. Granted, it can be really frustrating to die in this game because on the harder difficulties an enemy might pop around a corner and instantly end your game. Ignoring some of these design flaws, the actual combat is a blast. Most enemies have some method of guarding themselves. Wizards will summon zombies that block you from attacking them. Some spidery looking ice creatures will put up a wall of mist to obscure themselves as they fling icicles at you. Some enemies lunge at you, others put up barriers. It's actually really cool and adds a whole other level of tactics to the game since you can't just run in and blast everything. The key is to pick your targets carefully, use the proper weapons and know when to retreat when you are overwhelmed. It's leagues ahead of your average FPS game and actually better than most mainstream FPS games in this regard. Sadly, the production values aren't great. This game was mostly made by one guy which is super impressive, but he didn't do the music and the soundtrack as a whole just feels disconnected from the game play. After a few hours I shut it off because it's relentless and never stops. In games like Doom 2016, the music dies down when you're out of combat, but here it's constantly cranked up to 11 even when the arena is empty and eventually it just sounds like jarring noise. If you can see past these flaws, the actual game play is fantastic and I highly recommend it. It's ultimately a very creative precision shooter that's overly ambitious and a tad rough around the edges.

great quake style boomer shooter. Smooth gameplay. Good soundtrack. Cool visuals. Fun level design. A lot of perks are obtained via collecting secrets along side a secret ending so it provides actual motivation to seek them out.

Средней паршивости бумер-шутан. Но саунд тут действительно хороший. Разнообразие оружия неплохое. Как человек, прошедший игру на сложности Кошмар, могу сказать, что игру очень серьезно облегчают найденные в сикрет-румах перки и грамотно выстроенный сетап. По скидке пойдёт. A mediocre boomer shooter. But the soundtrack is really good. The weapon variety is decent. As someone who completed the game on Nightmare difficulty, I can say that the game is thoroughly tested, with perks found in secret rooms and a well-designed setup. It'll do fine with a discount.

Playing Dread Templar out of all the so called boomer shooters out there today is like choosing to eat a fresh cucumber salad over drinking right from the McDonalds grease trap.
