Even the basic pistol can completely remove a zombie’s top half. It’s not enough to have a little blood squirt out when you shoot something, oh no, it’s gonna pour out and cover the floor, walls and drip off the ceiling.
PRODEUS GOG FULL
No matter how they look, they’re going to be full of blood and you’re going to see a lot of it. Sprites appear to be the intended style, but either way you’re getting a retro experience and it’s still interesting to see the differences when switching back and forth. But if you want, there is an option to swap out the pixels for the original models in all their chunky, early 2000s glory. Although enemies were designed as fully 3D models, they are presented by default as mid 90s-style sprites complete with charmingly jerky animations. One department where Prodeus remains resolutely retro is its visuals. Prody isn’t the only interested party, as collecting one may summon the “Rune Extractors” – enhanced enemies that teleport in and hit harder and faster than their vanilla counterparts. You’ll find one in most levels, and a certain number of them are required to access later stages (like Banjo-Kazooie if Banjo was packing the quadruple-barrelled shotgun from Phantasm II). Don’t worry, it’s quite generous and you can even reactivate older checkpoints, but it may come as a shock to all you F5-mashers out there.Īlso new is a progression system tied to Runes. Quicksaving has been chucked out the window too, in favour of manually triggered checkpoints dotted throughout each area. Instead of traditionally bottomless magazines, most guns require actual reloading and some have disconcertingly small clip sizes, so be sure to time those reloads carefully. The enemy roster is a comfortably familiar assortment of zombified cannon fodder, long-range fireball hurlers, charging brutes, and obligatory small crawling/flying nuisances that love to explode in Prody’s face.īut Bounding Box aren’t afraid to add a few modern twists here and there. There’s the usual collection of shotguns, machine guns, explosive launchers and energy-based weaponry at your disposal with various alternate firing functions. Levels are large, sprawling environments packed with tightly paced encounters, colour-coded key cards and easily missed secrets. Prodeus wastes little time ticking the boxes you’d expect from a retro shooter. Prody’s mission is to seek and destroy PRODEUS, the supreme being and creator of these realms… or something like that? There’s only a few sentences of lore to work with, but to sum up: everything’s gone wrong and it’s time to kill God. The unnamed protagonist – let’s call him Prody – is thrust into a multidimensional battleground infested with demonic beings. It’s the newest addition to the burgeoning “Retro FPS” genre, following the likes of Dusk, Amid Evil, Ion Fury and others that eschew 21st century sensibilities like regenerating health or two weapon restrictions in favour of a decidedly more old-school experience in line with such classics of old as Doom and Quake. Having enjoyed a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2019, Prodeus, developed by Bounding Box Software, has arrived in Early Access on Steam and GOG.
