First person boomer shooters can be a dime a dozen these days, as welcome a trend as they are. Today's boomer shooter Prodeus, developed by Bounding Box Software and published by Humble Games, is the latest in the the long line of Doom Eternal clones. It's got green and red neon against industrial punk environments, the monsters resemble if the Doom enemy roster got stroggified like Quake. The guns feel great and all that but does the gameplay hold up over its runtime and does the game's movement and combat feel smooth or just the guns? Well, watch the video and find out, goofball!

I dont like spreading bad info even if unintentional but I need to reframe this video. Prodeus was in early access in 2020, the same year Eternal released so its really not fair to classify it as a clone. It's probably got plenty of DOOM 2016 in its DNA and certainly resembles Eternal quite a bit visually but thats almost got to be incidental.

You pulled out a stellar review in no time at all. Great job, man!

@shontivafeva511 Год назад

It's hard to believe your Scorn video was only 7 days ago, and you put out another piece of quality work so quickly.

Prodeus is what you'd get if Doom 3 played more like the original two Doom games. Prodeus is my newest game on Steam to set foot on my Perfect Games list on Steam thanks to me unlocking all of the game's Steam achievements. I'm right now from writing this comment am rocking 23 Perfect Games in my Steam library! Nice video review btw.

As a gamer who enjoys boomer shooters and metroidvanias (and other genres, but these two are the most relevant), I'm starting to see that the saturated indie market is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's great to have more games in a genre you love. I never want to go back to the dry years for metroidvanias. But I think scarcity is one of the magic ingredients that allows a game to become a classic. It's hard to build community and shared memories around a single game when we have so many options. If Prodeus released in 2018 and Dusk released today, would Prodeus be the modern classic and Dusk just the latest retro shooter?

Very cool, Discord chimes and all! Lol

@damsen978 Год назад

Yes it is. It has no captivating narrative like Ultrakill does.

@MonoKrohm_2020

Just finished the campaign, really enjoyed it.

@kajnake5905 Год назад

It's imitating doom, but rather brutal doom than doom (2016)

@arkham666 Год назад

Solid review man. It's weird how, despite being a massive boomer shooter and indie game fan myself, I've generally steered clear of a lot of these titles. I dunno the whole thing feels so oversaturated it's hard to tell if something is really worth buying.

The guy you showed at the moment you named josh(dragonfly) is jimmy. Josh comes in frame shortly after but it is a bit misleading

Great video man I might have to check this out

@Sputnik34 Год назад

i played this on game pass but didn't get very far. it was a blast at first but i got pretty indifferent on it rather quickly. i'd also say it's more of doom 2016 than eternal. it's a lot more grounded than the insane combat chess than eternal is.

@lilypacastsupper8922

i thought the A.I. was bad. I didn't feel the pressure that id had already mastered in 90's Doom.

Great video, big fan of your editing and overall style 👍

Another great video thanks for sharing

@TheChaoskg Год назад

Great review, thank you!

@OnePolishMoFo

I like Prodeus alot. It's great fun. I just would like it a great deal more if there were more level variety. Like, how many labs are there in this game? There is absolutely zero penalty for dying. That's a problem. In fact it can even be beneficial in some situations. And the shop is wildly unnecessary. Just distributed the guns throughout the levels like any other old school shooter. Don't make me navigate the the Super Mario Bros 3 level select screen, load the shop, walk my ass to the other side of the map just for me to realize I don't have enough currency.

@BrigadoonZyphoon День назад

Yes, but people can make whatever derivative content they want to and it has a chance of selling due to familiarity alone. The only truly bizarre and unique thing to have come out in awhile is probably Cruelty Squad. Also that super shotgun was weak af, more like "chews-through-bullets-gun." I judge a doom clone solely based on whether it has a good shotgun. The plain shotgun is pretty good, but just doesn't feel visceral. In fact part of this game getting boring is the lack of crowd control weapons and the way enemies spawn in. It also commits the egregious sin of "monster closets" which I thought we had kind of moved on from. Some of the enemies look goofy too, like "Hedon: Bloodrite" goofy in terms of their design. The whole idea of buying abilities and weapons based on an easter egg hunt through level is not for me. I kind of just want to get through a level, not look around it for hidden stuff. Pace-killing should really be a warning on some of these games, I know it sounds stupid, but I'm just not going to hunt for loads of optional stuff in a videogame. Feels like an action RPG or something, and that's not what older first-person shooters were about no matter how arcade-like they were.

I was surprised too at the enemies staying dead after a checkpoint but then i noticed my ammo is the same as when i died so it sort of cancels itself out. If ammo was replaced but enemies weren't it wouldn't be a challenge and if enemies were there again and ammo wasnt then it would be a huge dick move. Its all good though you have killed what you killed but you still only have the same amount of ammo as if you hadnt died. Clear as mud 😁
