Anyone who owns the game on a PC will have the same tools used by the developers to make levels from scratch. Thus, Prodeus includes an integrated level editor from day one.

The developers have stated that community engagement was considered a core principle of the game from the beginning. The launch trailer and later gameplay demos were created with a pre- alpha version of the game showcasing a typical level. Later, the two recruited Andrew Hulshult for the soundtrack and Josh "Dragonfly" O'Sullivan from the Doom modding community to work on level design. Around that time, Mojica reconnected with Voeller and decided to leave his job at Starbreeze Studios to join the project. By 2017, Voeller had decided to leave the industry to pursue an idea for a retro first-person shooter (that would become Prodeus). Development ĭevelopers Mike Voeller and Jason Mojica met while working together at Raven Software on Singularity. The only goal is to destroy Prodeus and anything that gets in the way. The player assumes control of a corrupted agent of Prodeus, the mysterious creator of the player and the game world. The game also has the option to dynamically convert enemy and item models to sprites, further simulating a retro experience. Though the game may be played entirely with modern visuals, the game allows the player to apply shaders that give the game a pixelated look, simulating resolutions down to 360p or even 216p. Prodeus employs a modern game engine to extend the experience of classic shooters with visuals such as dynamic lighting and particle effects, interactive levels, a gore system, and a dynamic soundtrack. To help the player find their way, and to aid in discovering secrets, the game features an automap similar in function to those featured in games such as Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and Metroid Prime. The player must explore complex levels, sometimes searching out keys to progress, while engaging enemies in fast-paced combat using a variety of weapons. It still has -25% launch discount in Steam.The developers describe Prodeus as "the first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques." The gameplay resembles that of classic 1990s first-person shooters such as Doom and Quake. It has lots of variety and replayability. Theme of mental health fits surprisingly well in action-roguelike gameplay loop, you play as Cassidy, a depressed woman who fights her nightmares, fears and regrets to get more courage to go out into the world where she can become more powerful through forming relationships, meditation and daydreaming. It's also on Gamepass.ĭreamscaper got it's full release from Early Access just few days ago, it's quite neat as well. You're an unpaid intern trying to navigate her first delve into the corporate world, including killing monsters roaming the failed start-ups in the basement of the corporate HQ. Going Under was sadly left in shadow of Hades, it's an awesome brawler roguelike with great writing and sense of humor.

Guns feel genuinely different and have insane amount of variations, that make for some crazy synergies with the gigantic item pool of the game. It's all about guns, and oh boy do they make shooting feel good. Set in the distant, dystopic year 1985, you are a human consciousness within an android body, trying to stop your fellow machines from triggering the apocalypse. Synthetik: Legion Rising is probably my favorite action roguelike of all time.
