The story
Battle through an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants and even darker forces as you attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the earth in this retro FPS inspired by all your 90's favorites. Featuring a full single player campaign, endless survival mode and classic arena multiplayer.
What it’s like
Hard-edged pixel-era shooter rendered in a murky, low-resolution palette: rust-brown corridors, sickly green fog and cold blue-grey stone, with sprites that flicker and muzzle flashes that bloom across the screen. The soundtrack is a pulsing synth-and-guitar score that kicks in during combat and drops to ominous ambience between fights, while gunfire and monster shrieks are sharp and punchy. The camera is a fast first-person view that makes every room feel cramped and every doorway a potential ambush. Its vibe is grimy, adrenaline-fuelled and nostalgic, best suited to a late-night session with headphones or a bout of arena multiplayer with friends. Pacing is relentless: short bursts of exploration give way to dense, chaotic firefights, and the mood stays tense rather than reflective. Violence is frequent and bloody, with gore, explosions and grotesque monsters, and the horror leans on jump scares and menace more than psychological dread. It is for players who want old-school, unforgiving combat with a grim, atmospheric edge and a steady stream of things to shoot.
