Right click with the chaingun and you’ll spin the barrel, whereas the alternate fire for the super shotgun – yes, there’s a super shotgun, just like Doom – unloads all four barrels at once, splattering enemies over the nearby walls. Prodeus‘ arsenal is extensive and a joy to use, but most of it has been cribbed from elsewhere and there’s a distinct feeling as you pick up each weapon for the first time that you already know how it works. Every weapon has a meaty feel to it as you unload it at enemies, whether it’s a terrifying chaingun or the starter pistol – which has a phenomenal three-round burst when you use the secondary fire option to aim down the sights. You’re here to kill, and the game makes sure you feel like a god doing it.Įvery single weapon has real impact, largely due to smart sound design and the fact enemies explode into gore as you attack them. There’s no real story to speak of – I think there’s an interdimensional war that you’re in the middle of, but you won’t care – and environmental storytelling is next to nil. Prodeus is another of the recently popular boomer shooters – a confusingly named genre that basically just means “plays a bit like classic Doom”, but Prodeus has more in common with the hallowed FPS than most: you’re a space marine trapped on an asteroid and a whole bunch of enemies are going to die before the credits roll.
