The Citadel
Go forth, Martyr;
For you are the finest among the Battlesisters;
Go forth, and
LET THE SLEEPING GOD DIE
Descent into the depth of The Citadel
THE CITADEL is a hardcore, brutal old-school shooter full of action that’s a throwback to the 90’s classics that we all love.
Fight through 6 Episodes of 30 action packed levels (and an additional 6 secret levels). Face off against 6 fearsome bosses.
Carry 14 different types of weapons, with obliterating secondary fire functions. Make the world tremble with 3 types of single-use special weapons.
・Unlimited Continues.
・You can continue trying until you break. Hub areas serve as respite if you find the episode to be too difficult.
・Completely skill based: no cheap Hitscanner, all projectiles. You live as good as you dodge.
・Huge enemy variety and diversity. From axe throwing cultists, to suicide drones, to mecha tanks, and flamethrower troopers.
Kick the Opponent into Lava!
・Light-weight enemies can be kicked and stunned. Get your positioning right, and you can also make them fall into a bottomless pit or lava.
Upgradable Weapons
・Some weapons can be upgraded or switched to superior versions.
Gibs!
・Enemies explode into chunks of meat or metals when they die. Ouch!
Optional Features: Leaning and Weapon Jam
The Citadel contains numerous optional features for added replayability and difficulty.
・Leaning can be enabled in a option menu. Dodging is not the only way to avoid the enemy fire.
・Weapon condition features can be enabled in a option menu.
・Automatic weapons can be jammed in the middle of a battle, and they will be eventually broken.

Great Game. Bought it with no expectations just looking forward to a Old schooly shooter like doom or wolfenstein. But was pleasently surprised. It's not that long sadly but for the price very good deal i'd say. Old School Fps with some new gen twists and mechanics. Story is minimal but the bit there is i found to be quite intresting. It should be noted that for what it is it's quite brutal. The entire organs and stuff all are modelled seperately depending on how or where you kill them. Again not too many variations but enough to surprise me. What makes it a bit more brutal is the screams and the fact that your able to see their expressions even after death like tears or shock. Not that the brutal nature of the game bothers me. Just a heads up for people who don't like gore. The Gunplay feels amazing. Several guns from the classics like shotguns, smgs, rifles to rocket launchers, C4s, air support etc. Even with some weapon Upgrades. The difficulty is okay. If you decide on hard your in for a treat because you can actually make it very hard on yourself if you like the challenge. So if you like Old School Fps games without thinking too much off it and just wanna kill things (in perhaps brutal ways) then pick this game up. I'll definetely play it again once in a while.
Tolles Spiel! Ich habe es ohne Erwartungen gekauft und mich einfach auf einen Old-School-Shooter wie Doom oder Wolfenstein gefreut. Umso positiver war ich überrascht. Es ist leider nicht sehr lang, aber für den Preis ein echtes Schnäppchen. Ein Old-School-FPS mit einigen modernen Elementen und Mechaniken. Die Story ist minimal, aber das, was es gibt, fand ich ziemlich interessant. Man sollte erwähnen, dass es für das Genre ziemlich brutal ist. Die Organe und so weiter werden je nach Art und Ort des Todes separat modelliert. Es gibt zwar nicht allzu viele Variationen, aber genug, um mich zu überraschen. Was es noch brutaler macht, sind die Schreie und die Tatsache, dass man die Gesichtsausdrücke der Gegner selbst nach ihrem Tod sieht, wie Tränen oder Schock. Mich persönlich stört die Brutalität des Spiels nicht. Nur ein Hinweis für alle, die kein Blut mögen. Das Gunplay fühlt sich fantastisch an. Es gibt zahlreiche Waffenklassiker wie Schrotflinten, Maschinenpistolen und Gewehre, aber auch Raketenwerfer, C4, Luftunterstützung usw. Sogar mit einigen Waffen-Upgrades. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist angemessen. Wenn du den Schwierigkeitsgrad auf „Schwer“ stellst, erwartet dich ein echtes Highlight, denn du kannst es dir richtig schwer machen, wenn du eine Herausforderung magst. Wenn du also Old-School-FPS-Spiele magst, ohne groß nachzudenken, und einfach nur Gegner (vielleicht auf brutale Weise) vernichten willst, dann hol dir dieses Spiel. Ich werde es definitiv ab und zu wieder spielen.

Very good shooter. It may look like Doom, but is way more tactical. Levels have a more open 3D Layout.
Great artstyle, but even more amazing gunplay. Also very good music.
Translation is a little rough, but has it's charm.
Not so long. Finished after 6 hours, but worth every minute.
The Sequel is even better!
