Prodeus is a dynamic space shooter observed from the first person perspective. The game is inspired by classic retro shooters, which put the emphasis on fun.

Mechanics
Technical aspects

Prodeus is an FPS from veterans of the genre, Michael Voeller and Jason Mojic, previously working on such productions as Doom, Bioshock Infinite and Wolfenstein. The game is inspired by retro shooters with a focus on dynamic combat with hectolitres of blood.

Mechanics

Prodeus is a dynamic FPS. The game refers to the old school representatives of the genre, where the plot practically does not exist, and all the fun comes from pure carnage and slaughtering throngs of enemies. These can be dismembered and killed in various violent ways. In doing so, we must be careful not to die, controlling the points of life and armor. Here, too, we will see homages to classic shooters, because we recover lost life and armor by collecting objects scattered on maps or dropped by dead enemies.

We have many types of weapons at our disposal. Including rifles, pistols, the shotguns and others. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. They are influenced by the speed of the projectile, accuracy, the time needed to reload and the amount bullets in the magazine. Each of them also uses different types of cartridges.

There's also plenty of room for secrets in the game. There are several of these usually available on each level and for finding them we will receive a special prize.

The developers have made it possible to create our own levels with the help of a special tool. Thanks to this, even after completing the game, we can try our hand at making our own maps, as well as trying out those created by other players.

Technical aspects

Prodeus is a three-dimensional game in a style reminiscent of a 1990s shooter. However, it uses high-quality textures that only imitate the old graphic style.

GameSkinny: 9 / 10 by Thomas Wilde

The 2020s resurgence of "boomer shooters" continues with Prodeus, one of the best examples of the subgenre, and one of the best games in it, period.

Eurogamer: by Rick Lane

Bounding Box delivers an anachronistic high-wire act, and the perhaps the best shooter outright since Doom Eternal.

TechRaptor: 9.5 / 10 by Austin Suther

Early Access was kind to Prodeus, as the end result gives us a masterful game with incredible maps, punchy and satisfying gunplay, as well as some kick-ass visuals and sound design.
