Cultic

Cultic is an old-school FPS. The game was developed by an independent one-man studio Jasozz Games (founded by Jason Smith), and was published by 3D Realms.

Plot

The action of Cultic is set in the middle of 20th century. We meet the main character in the moment of his death, but right after saying goodbye to life, protagonist has to come back to it. His task is to face a dangerous cult, whose members carry out the will of a mysterious, sinister creature.

Mechanics

In Cultic we observe the action from first person perspective (FPP). During the game we explore gloomy locations and eliminate hordes of enemies. In fight we use extended arsenal including machine gun, rifle, pistol or dynamite.

The fights are dynamic, and during them we have to not only shoot accurately, but also constantly be on the move, running, dodging or sliding on the ground. However, rushing forward with a battle cry on your lips is not always the ideal solution. Sometimes we have to use more complex tactics, such as setting traps for enemies or trying to manoeuvre the battlefield to turn enemies against each other.

Technical aspects

Graphics (as well as sound) of Cultic is kept in retro style from the 1990s. However, the whole thing is enriched with modern solutions, such as realistic physics and lighting.
