How it feels

A run-and-gun old-school FPS that feels frantic and punishing as you blast through monster-filled medieval dungeons with sword and sorcery.

What players say

Players say Apocryph wears its Heretic and Hexen inspirations on its sleeve but falls short of those classics. The magic weapons feel samey, levels vary wildly in quality, and it is short at about 7 hours. Development seems abandoned after release. Reviewers split on whether fans of the genre will still enjoy it.
