3D Realms reveals retro shooter ‘Cultic’, with demo available now
3D Realms has announced Cultic, a new shooter that aims to take players back to the mid-’90s heyday of the genre.Described as a “crunchy retro shooter” by developer Jason Smith – professionally known as Jasozz Games – Cultic is an FPS in the mould of the earliest DOOM entries (thanks, RockPaperShotgun). It also has something of a horror-fantasy flair that evokes 1995’s Hexen: Beyond Heretic – albeit with an arsenal of more modern weaponry at your disposal.The game, currently slated for release on PC, starts off with players killed by the members of a mysterious cult, only to rise from the dead to wipe out your murderers.
