“So, all that is said in reviews is true. Very fun animations and sounds, extremely good combat and very satsfying weapons But Nexus points (just saves) are made to spawn you fully healed and supplied with all kinds of…”
“Me (PC) and the hubby (Steam Deck (out of box play with this he tells me) got this game for around $15 (+tax) and we are having a blast with it, we enjoyed Quake 2 together and this game is just as fun. Thank you devs,…”
“Loads of fun. Visceral gun play, great weapons, extremely cool pixelated retro graphic style, very bloody. A true standout in the boomer shooter genre! Runs smooth as blended guts on the Steam Deck. Highly recommended!”

“This game is the definition of "it won't ever end". I was actively fighting my boredom toward the end. It seems the devs were too, because not only did they stop trying, but the achievement for beating this slog was…”
“This game has a lot going for it, but it just isn't executed well. My main gripe is that although the chunky retro graphics look great, they're just not compatible with so much crap being on the screen at one time.…”
“Beautiful to watch and smooth to play even on low/medium rigs.”

“It's Doom (2016) gameplay with Quake (1996) art style and graphics. Guns are fun to shoot, and there's not too much backpedalling. The level are designed well enough that you don't get lost and the enemies BLEED. I do…”
“this is one of the best indie boomer shooters if you are looking for an exact similarity to doom 2016 this is the closest and might be the only one the only downside for me is that the enemy variety is not high so it…”

“Boomer shooter that can run in a potato PC, specially considering how more expensive PC parts are becoming.”
“With many games like this they can easily fall into the 'Doom-Like' category as they used to be called back in the days before the FPS genre got it's own pathway, and this is game is reminiscent of that sort of…”

“Remember the thrill of Doom when it was brand new? That is Prodeus. It is the best of classic Doom wrapped in a blanket of modern performance and design that pays homage to the ambitions of those early shooters. When…”
“great game - been playing it so much and for so long”
“Fun campaign, lots of room for repeat playthroughs as is the case with most Boomer Shooters. The art style in this is really what makes it special. Think of it like someone took doom eternal and released it in 1999.…”

“The game is fantastic. the action is fast paced as a boomer shooter should, graphics are awesome, guns feel mostly heavy & useful. don't like the fact i need to replay levels to get all the materials from it, but it's…”
“Why the ♥♥♥♥ is there a cliff that screams fall on me half way through the first level? I'm so bummed out I didn't just reset then. It really really sucks a lot that I didn't get all 8 of those achievements at once,…”

“I just like the gore of it. The gameplay is "good". Nothing really special, but enjoyable. The ending is a bit anticlimax. 7/10 game”
“Bought this at 90% off, which is a steal. Another boomer shooter that I very much enjoyed... ...except for the ending. What was up with that?”
“Exceedingly derivative of doom and the story/ ending leave a o be desired, but the gory fights are some of the most satisfying I've played in a retro style FPS so far”

“I am utterly baffled of how much I love and at the same time annoyed by this game. This is a boomer shooter at its heart and the core gameplay, shooting and the music are just cheif's kiss. BUT few of the decision that the devs made makes me think they just wanted to annoy the…”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“I did not know beforehand, but this first-person shooter is very much an original Doom clone in terms of... everything. Pretty much every monster I've seen has its Doom equivalent. Almost every weapon is the same. Gameplay is the same (but with mouse look). And the atmosphere is…”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“[b]Prodeus[/b] is the video game equivalent of drinking three cans of Monster energy and headbanging to a heavy metal cassette tape from 1993. It is a love letter to the classic "boomer shooters" of the DOOM and Quake era, but built with a modern engine that makes everything…”
