Awesome Brand New Shooters That Embody the Spirit of the 90s.

Players prefer to shoot in open-ended worlds, but they used to traverse complex mazes full of secrets. Doom-like games have greatly evolved, but as it turns out, new shooters inspired by Quake, Hexen or Duke Nukem 3D are still being created.

Prodeus

  1. Release date: November 2020
  2. Producer: Mike Voeller, Jason Mojica
  3. Platforms: PC

Prodeus is a game from real video game veterans - Mike Voeller and Jason Mojica – authors that were a part of the development teams working on Wolfenstein, Doom or Bioshock Infinite. This production is full of references to classic 90's shooters, and the whole game looks like the first Doom with gameplay taken from the game's 2016 reboot. The gameplay is dynamic and bloody, and the pixelart styling gives a bit of a retro feel to the overall pretty good three-dimensional graphics.

The authors refer to their work as an AAA production with a nostalgic retro feel. Levels are full of secrets, enemies are dismembered painting the walls red, all to the sounds of a nice, pulsating soundtrack. It's only a few months from release, but there's definitely something to look forward to.
