This is the style Doom clone we have all been asking for. Taking on a semi-demonic world with an arsenal of weapons that are both normal and crazy.

Positives are more subjective. It feels and controls like an old FPS game; but with added mouse aim of modern games (ala Doom2 style). Unlike most Doom-likes, this one does add a "hub" of sorts that allows you to level up your character, weapons, and spells (yes RPG elements). This can allow any player to adapt to a unique play style of the game. The graphics are even amazing with enemies and weapons being 2d sprites with, what appears to be, 2d false polygon walls (though this could still be polygons with retro textures on them). The spritework itself leaves me in awe of the art ability of the team. The action is fast passed with loads of secrets like old Duke-Nukem and Serious Sam would do (You'll see why I bring them up in the game). Some of the enemies look like they belong to the Blood games as well, with their dark demon looks to more robotic looks from the likes of System Shock or Deus Ex.

There is negatives to the game though. There appears to be some glitching issues with some of the weapons, maps, and AI. In some cases, when you are strafing/serpentining to avoid fire, your weapon will begin firing to the top left of the screen. Some of the AI will simply not attack you or move at times, while others when they die, their sprite isn't destroyed like it should (these 2 cases only happened maybe 2 times in my play through though). Some of the maps also had concerns with opening the secret doors, like it was missing the input of the interact. There is also a bug where the sound level boosts itself to max on launch, as well as when a cutscene plays. This forces you to go into the settings and reset the volume again every time.
