Prodeus is a first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques and technology. Experience the quality you’d expect from a modern AAA game, designed with retro aesthetics and gameplay that invoke the tech-imposed limits of older hardware.
The game features a hand-crafted campaign from industry first-person shooter veterans, co-op and competitive multiplayer play drawing on classic modes, a fully integrated level editor* and a built-in community map browser for instantaneous action with nearly limitless levels to play.
Get ready to paint the walls red. This is the Boomer Shooter you’ve been waiting for.
Retro Look, Modern Era
Shooters past and present collide with graphics that combine today’s high-quality 3D tech with retro visuals. Experience over-the-top explosions of lo-fi pixels and hi-tech particle effects as you clash against the Prodeans and forces of Chaos.
Pure Retro First-Person Shooter Chaos
Steel yourself for fast and frantic nonstop action. Blast and blaze your way through hordes of chaos-spawned creatures using an arsenal of classically over-the-top weapons.
Raining Red
Splatter the steel walls and alien halls with the blood of your enemies. Experience the gory thrills of the elder shooters, dialed up to 11 thanks to Prodeus‘ delightfully demented dismemberment system.
Community-Crafted Levels
Unleash your inner map designer with Prodeus‘ powerful but easy-to-use level editor*, and keep the visceral combat fresh with a built-in browser filled with community-created maps.
Multiplayer Mayhem
Team up and go head-to-head in a variety of multiplayer modes. Take on the campaign in four-player co-op, and dive into the fray in 16-player Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF, and more—then take things to the next level by creating and sharing custom game modes.
Frag to the Music
Burst blood vessels listening to a supercharged metal soundtrack by retro first-person shooter composer Andrew Hulshult (DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods, DUSK, Amid Evil) that dynamically changes gears to accompany your actions.
*Available on the PC version only

This looks great, love the animations and art.
Btw, sprites are optional, you can also select proper 3D models for enemies.
Interesting, it's def on my wishlist for sure.
I prefer the 3D models. I'm absolutely fine with sprites in general but rendering 3D models as sprites just results in enemies looking like 3D models with choppy animations. I prefer hand-drawn pixel art for sprites.
Already own the Early Access version. IMO it's better than Doom 2016.
Looks sick! Between this and Hellsinger, we are getting some quality shooters from indie devs. I love it!
