Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The moment-to-moment gameplay is satisfying: blasting through hordes of cultists, monsters, and undead with chunky, old-school weaponry feels immediately familiar to fans of classic shooters.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I get around 50 FPS at 4K on an RTX 3070 — in a game with deliberately retro, low-fidelity visuals.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, the upgrade system often provides enough power spikes to keep players competitive, making the overall difficulty feel balanced rather than punishing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lighting effects and enemy silhouettes help maintain readability even during large fights, though environmental variety can begin to blur together after multiple runs.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack delivers aggressive metal and dark ambient tracks that complement the relentless action.
