What players say

Players are split on this Christian FPS port. Nostalgic fans love the janky, early 2000s feel and call it a fun Doom clone with a unique theme. Others find it artificially difficult with bullet-sponge enemies, scarce resources, and bugs that are almost game-breaking. The Steam release locks the frame rate to 30, which fixes some issues but leaves others unchanged.
