“Great art direction and sound that quickly immerses the player and a steady loop of combat choices, puzzles, and secrets to sustain gameplay. Some people gripe with the meaninglessness of weapons, but they're all fun.…”

“Wizordum feels like a love letter to both Wolfenstein 3D and Heretic. One of the reasons I bounced off of Heretic was due to the weapons feeling underwhelming. Wizordum has mostly really solid weapons, unfortunately the…”

“I'm a simple guy. My boy Civvie shills a boomshoot, I need to play it. On a more serious note: I very much recommend it. It's interesting how good the gameplay works with the limitations the devs set themselves.”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“Hereticdoomenstein 3D: Atomic Edition. Very literally that, including no jumping, and second to last difficulty for normal runs. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means it's good and you should buy it.”
