    I've played a lot of games that attempt to reproduce what was fun
    about retro shooters like this (Heretic/Hexen/Doom/Wolfenstein/Ultima Underworld/etc), but this is the first one in a while that actually
    does.

    Looks kind of interesting, a boomer shooter that looks a bit like a
    retro rpg. A bit cartoony for me, but I might be able to overcome that.

    The pixelated graphics won't wow you, especially looking at videos of
    it. But your eyes warm up to it as a stylistic choice pretty quickly,
    and its the gameplay that keeps your interest.
