Prodeus is the perfect blend of old school first-person shooter nostalgia, injected with a kick of modern-day gaming. As the developer puts it: “Prodeus is the first person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques. It reaches the quality you expect from a AAA experience while adhering to some of the aesthetic technical limits of older hardware.”

After two years in development, Prodeus’ Early Access phase began earlier this month, and it’s received a lot of love from players despite still being in its infancy.

As one happy gamer wrote in their review: “It’s Doom 2 but it’s middle aged and is still wearing its NiN t-shirt it bought all the way back in high school. So yeah it f*cking rules.”

The game features an “aesthetic mix of high-quality 3D art and retro rendering techniques,” along with all the explosions, blood and gore you’d hope to see from the genre. Prodeus’ hand-crafted campaign comes courtesy of “industry FPS veterans,” but there’s much more to the game than first meets the eye.
