Extremely chucky animations and reloads and sounds that hit all the right places in your gamer brain.

The guns in Prodeus are also designed with id Software style elegance. The gameplay loop is shooting demons, no more, no less. As a result, most secrets you find boil down to an extra healthpack or some ammo. There are no weapon or character upgrades, and no collectables to be found in the game. Unfortunately, this also comes with the caveats that DOOM gameplay has. Fast paced FPS action where health doesn’t regenerate and outrunning bullets is preferable to taking cover. And as you can guess, it’s also like classic DOOM. The gameplay for Prodeus is where it’s at. Just about every part of the kill-from the flash of a bullet leaving the gun all the way to the splat of it leaving a monster skull-looks incredible. Enemies explode into geysers of viscera and blood in a way that will never not be satisfying. Prodeus takes much of its inspiration from the Brutal DOOM mod, with over-the-top levels of carnage and gore. Thankfully, the enemies don’t stay enemies for long. But it would have been nice to see some more variety and creativity in the enemy designs.
There is, as I’ve stated, no reason to reinvent the wheel. The areas all are limited to the same color palette, and even the enemies are all very visually similar to DOOM creatures. It captures the atmosphere of DOOM games perfectly. You’re seeing the trend here, right? Prodeus is set on a red planet with lots of industrial stuff that has been overtaken by demons. Taking the 2.5D graphics of the id Tech 1 engine to the absolute limit (not actually on id Tech 1, but clearly it’s meant to feel like it is), Prodeus is perhaps, visually, the zenith of retro DOOM style games, or at least, just up to the limit before it becomes another game entirely.Īs for style, very much like DOOM as well. It still has the same 2.5D graphical feel of classic DOOM games, but with pixel art that might very well surpass Metal Slugand Fire Emblem. The visuals and atmosphere of Prodeus are unbelievable. You are a soldier on a futuristic base on a Mars-like planet fighting demons from another dimension. Something about dimensions or whatever is briefly talked about in the beginning, but very obviously it is just the slightest justification to recreate a classic FPS in their own image. The story for Prodeus is who gives a shit. As many have stated, this game might very well be the true DOOM 3.
Created by Mike Voeller and Jason Mojica, Prodeus is the collision of classic FPS gameplay with modern game design the perfect synthesis of DOOM 2 and DOOM 2016.
