Just in case anyone is wary and is tempted to write Dusk off as just a cheap cash-in on some recent retro/low-fi trend. It really isn't - it's a spectacularly fun and creative game with solid mechanics. If you prefer a little more colour you can also check out Amid Evil or Ion Fury
There's another upcoming game I'm keeping an eye on - Hrot. It's a solo-dev effort with a home-made engine written in Pascal (!) set in a pre-revolution Czechoslovak(-style?) state. I have no idea about the developer's track record in gaming and haven't played any of the early-access stuff, but it's got a good look and the tech demos show some fun stuff so I'm kinda curious how it will turn out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xovpHxsVRTQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xovpHxsVRTQ
- jefftime 6y agoAmid Evil, Ion Fury, and Dusk are all great. Great recommendation with Hrot. It looks to me like a mix between Quake and Half Life
- bozzcl 6y agoOn the same vein, check out Prodeus!
- smcl 6y agoYeah I bumped into it on (I think?) civvie11's channel. Looked like simple, over-the-top fun!
- officeplant 6y agoAt this point New Blood products are an instant purchase. Dusk, Amid Evil, and Ultrakill have been fantastically fun for me. I even broke my "no early access games" rule and picked up Wrath: Aeon of Ruin from 3D Realms. Absolutely love it so far. Maybe I'm easily pleased but this new boomer shooter era has made gaming fun for me again.
