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.

Very cool doomclone made in unreal engine. Fun and unique, fulfills the idea of playing an ultraviolent eighties anime.
The upsides here are: detailed character designs and lots of work put into sprites and sound effects, and pretty engaging weapon dynamics. I've spent a lot of time playing stuff like PUBG and Tarkov, and while The Citadel doesn't quite go for that, it still delivers way more in terms of recoil and different weapon behavior / control than I'd expect from a doom & marathon inspired title. There's definitely enough levels with different gimmicks, varied enemies, and player tools for the price, and I'd recommend it to anyone who finds the screenshots & trailer interesting.
The downsides aren't big - fairly monotonous level textures, spotty translation and overall very limited story (I'd really appreciate just a few sentences more, anything, the game hints at a fascinating world), and the gameplay experience might not be for the faint of heart, as the anime gore mixed with realistic weapon sounds and often quiet OST can result in pretty intense vibe.
I'm not sure how universal performance issues are, but I found it fairly unstable when the action got going - I could've alleviated that with settings, so it wasn't a big deal at the end of the day. Just fairly weird for a retro inspired game. Recommending nonetheless, it's worth it.

Polecam 1. jak i 2. część tej serii.
Pomimo memory leak - ów od UE4 to nie ma żadnych innych poważnych problemów ani błędów.
Po krótce gra wygląda jak DOOM od japońca ma swój urok i nawet ciekawą fabułę.
