![]() ![]() Honestly, this is a ton of fun and time just flew by as we fought to destroy all. Failing that, you can join a random game to help out a stranger. Multiplayer has been included in the package as well, and while I am not a fan of the PvP modes, of which there are many (Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and more, for up to sixteen people), of most interest is the four player co-op mode, where you can get some like minded friends in to help you with the trickier levels. And don’t think the shop is just a single screen, oh no: it is an entire level, with various tests of gun control to complete in addition to being able to purchase not only guns, but upgrades as well. Finding and collecting ore fragments will allow you to go to the shop and buy new weapons, such as a super shotgun or a plasma rifle. Running around with twin sub machine guns is pretty cool, and you’ll soon find your favourite weapon.īut the fun doesn’t stop there, as there is a collectible kind of mechanic going on. ![]() And every weapon has a different feel and quite often a secondary fire mode too, so a gun that fires red lightning looking rounds can be zoomed in and used like a sniper rifle, or the grenade launcher can change from firing regular grenades to sticky ones, for instance. The difference between your puny fists, which are all you start the game with, through the weedy pistol all the way up a rocket launcher or a mini gun is what brings the booming fun. The gunplay is a big part of the draw in games like this, and it is sublime here as well. See, playing Doom these days is an odd experience, as the enemies are always on the same level as you, even when they aren’t, if you get what I mean? In Prodeus, not only can we jump about the place like a demented rabbit, we can aim up and down, and take out enemies on different planes before we try to figure out how to get up there. I’d go as far as to say that it’s better. So we’ve seen that there is the traditional lack of story, and the traditional blood, gore and violence, but what about the actual gameplay of Prodeus, can that be as good as the original Doom? Well, the short answer is no, it isn’t as good as the original Doom. There are even colored keys that open coloured doors to contend with too. The sound is another plus factor, with a wide range of shooty gun noises, monster screams, squelches as they fall to bits and a pumping heavy metal soundtrack that all combine to take me right back to the glory days of those FPS games. ![]() In fact, the insane amount of blood and dismemberment makes Prodeus more fun than something that is very fun indeed. It reaches the quality you expect from a AAA experience while. It’s helped that the enemies pixelate when you get close to them, and there’s sheer joy in the way they come apart when you hit them with a shotgun blast. Prodeus is the first person shooter of old, reimagined using modern rendering techniques. The way the game looks just screams retro 90’s boomer shooter, but it all moves at a very smooth, slick pace that belies the simple graphics.
