90s, but with a modern twist and gameplay depth on par with contemporary FPS
titles.
Players will embark upon a quest for bloody vengeance, blasting their way
through hordes of diverse demonic enemies across multiple, distinct, unique
campaign environments - from the dark realm of hell to frozen pirate ships - all
brought to life by a detailed, retro, pixel-art visuals, supercharged by a
head-banging original soundtrack.
A vast and varied arsenal of badass weapons and powers are on hand to aid
players as they become the scariest thing in hell. Experimentation is
encouraged, with over 100 different upgrades available to unlock - all of which
can be endlessly combined to offer widely different and personally tailored
playstyles.
