One of the great things about the level editor is the fact that you can access it and download maps directly from the game, you don’t need to close the game and access some website or even Steam’s Workshop. Now, in regards to community-made maps, I guess it’s fairly obvious as to why this happens, as it allows players to affect the global rating of each map that is presented to everyone on the map workshop. Furthermore, the game also asks you to rate each level, no matter if it’s from the game’s official campaign or from the level editor, which I’m sure is done to help balance out the game. Based on the time that you take to complete each level, the difficulty that you played it at, kills and secrets found, you’re assigned a specific score which is then uploaded to the leaderboards.Īfter completing a map, you’re not only presented with your score and time, but you also get to compare your performance with others in the game’s leaderboards. Obviously, there are also secrets to be found which actually fit into the Prodeus scoring system. The map design allows the player to seamlessly progress through the levels while slaying its many foes. Still, although you’ll find yourself searching for colour-coded keys to unlock access to specific areas of the maps, there isn’t actually that much of backtracking. There is quite a bit of verticality and there are just as many tight spaces as there are semi-open areas where you face a series of enemies. The level design is obviously highly reminiscent of old-school shooters. Now, Prodeus campaign might be short, but what’s currently on offer is quite compelling. There are already a few levels from the original Doom, and even some other crazy stuff, like a truck a surfing map, so I honestly can’t wait to see what people will come up with as time goes on. With that said, at the moment, the campaign is incomplete, but Prodeus already has a fully functional level editor with plenty of community-made maps that you can try out. Whether you’re a hardcore FPS player or someone who just wants to casually blow up some enemies, Prodeus has got you covered. It doesn’t really matter what your skill level is as far as FPS games go, as Prodeus offers 7 different difficulty modes that you can choose from. Ultimately, the conjunction of visuals, sound and the overall shooting make Prodeus feel like an out of this world experience. Even though you can play the game with the original sprites or with 3D models, it doesn’t matter, as the game looks great either way. I honestly don’t think that I’ve ever seen a game with so much blood pouring out of enemies as you utterly disintegrate them. The whole thing is even further exacerbated thanks to the amount of gore that the game has. It’s absolutely stellar and music to my ears. When you first fire your pistol or the shotgun and hear the sound it makes, you clearly get to see that Prodeus has spared no expense in regards to its weapon sound design. It was right at that moment, in the first level, when I got my hands on my first weapon and fired it, just a basic pistol, that I knew that I was in for quite the ride.Įvery single weapon in Prodeus feels extremely impactful in their own way. This is one of those unique cases where you realize just how awesome the game is going to be in the first minute. Then there are games like Prodeus, where right after I finished all the content that’s currently available, I immediately went back and played more of it. There are those games where I play through them once and although I enjoy them, I can’t see myself replaying them. Despite the fact that it only has been publicly available for a few weeks and that it’s somewhat limited in content, it’s pretty clear that this is already one of the finest FPS out there, as the overwhelmingly positive Steam reviews indicate. Prodeus was successfully Kickstarted back in April of 2019, and now, roughly a year and a half later, it has finally reached the hands of players through Steam Early Access. It was merely a week ago that I got the chance to check out the amazing Nightmare Reaper, and now, I’m once again playing another FPS that is quite possibly one of the best that I’ve ever had the chance to play.
