AMID EVIL retro Hexen & Heretic inspired FPS from the makers of Dusk

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Hexen and Heretic inspired retro FPS from the authors of Dusk. On sale $16 ($14.40 if you already own Dusk) on Steam.

I really enjoyed Dusk so I'll pick this up.

So is that a Hexen and Heretic remake? What is Dusk?

Quake style retro throw back. The maps are great.

I did a mini review here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62728&hilit=Dusk

I only just got around to playing this today for the first time. Game is great. Awesome Heretic/Hexen inspired throw back. The game as not as pixelated as some retro games, and the maps can look very pretty. There's some really good level design. The weapons feel good. The pace is frantic and fun.

Game gets really fun when you find the better weapons like the trident and the staff that works like a grenade launcher.

Quake style simple puzzles (secret rooms, keys that open doors).

I posted a video of me playing a level that has a good mix of weapons.

The blur when moving is not the game, it's the way Youtube converted the video. There's no blur on the original video I uploaded.

BTW: This is one of the few games I don't turen off the music channel. It's got a cool sound track.
