How it feels

A fast-paced, retro-inspired first-person shooter with a dark fantasy setting and a personal revenge story, blending pixel-graphics mayhem with emotional weight.

What players say

Players praise its retro atmosphere that blends Blood and Heretic, with creative weapons and level design. Many note the enemy AI is weak, often getting stuck on geometry, and bosses are very tanky. Opinion is split on value, as several call it overpriced for a GZDoom mod despite enjoying the game itself.
