Prodeus 1.0 is launching on September 23 on Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Game Pass!

ABOUT PRODEUS
Prodeus is a first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques and technology. Experience the quality you’d expect from a modern AAA game, designed with retro aesthetics and gameplay that invoke the tech-imposed limits of older hardware.

The game features a hand-crafted campaign from industry FPS veterans, co-op and competitive multiplayer play drawing on classic modes, and a built-in community map browser for instantaneous action with nearly limitless levels to play.

Get ready to paint the walls red. This is the Boomer Shooter you’ve been waiting for.

GP?!

 

[Hellmaker]

Oh nice finally!

 

[DragonNCM]

Doom clone + GP ?

SIGHN ME IN !!!

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I need a second life to play all these games. Slow down, Phil!

(but actually, don't slow down )

 

[Dontkidyourselfjimmy]

Play it people its quality

 

[TintoConCasera]

Love how the sprites look in this game, weapons and enemies all look amazing.

It feels like this game hasn't been for that long on Early Access, right?

 

[The_Mike]

The game has been on GP for a long time. I played it a few months back, very nice.

 

[amigastar]

Game is great (beta) but having the game on Gamepass is awesome.

 

[Fbh]

Nice, I've been waiting for the 1.0 release to try this.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Glad to hear it’s in GP but this could be good on Switch. Will wait to see performance before buying though.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Feels like I've been waiting forever for this one. Guess I should finally play it.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Game Pass. Nice.

Shit, I havent played a fast paced shooter like this since Unreal 20 years ago.

 

[drotahorror]

Really dope game. Excited to finally play 1.0

Yep, it's been in Early Access on Game Pass for ages. I've played it a couple of times - one of the first games I bought off of Game Pass, actually. Absolutely stellar stuff - can't recommend enough.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Really dig this game, spent a lot of time with the early access since I backed the Kickstarter.

I have a Switch code coming to me so I will probably jump back in there with the 1.0.

I’ve been playing this in EA it’s been incredible and fun, better than any of the supposed inspired by doom trash indie games.

The only retro FPS that I've really loved is Dusk. Looking forward to trying Prodeus though.

Cultic is awesome too, but that’s it.

Cultic is awesome too, but that’s it.

A demo! I know what my Deck is doing tonight. Amid Evil, Wrath and Ion Fury just didn't do it for me.

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

It’s on Gamepass which is awesome but I double dipped.

The PS5 version is incredible. Full use of the DualSense.

The community maps and multiplayer options are exactly what you’d want them to be. PC levels come to console, PC saves come to console.

I couldn’t be more impressed.

Very forward thinking and the tools to create are included.

A dream come true for me. I can’t wait to dig into the PC version to edit.

Haven’t been this excited since Mario Maker.

 

[baphomet]

Hell yeah, I finished the early access version whenever that released.

Can't wait to play the full version.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Looks dope as fuck, will pick it up on PS5 at some point, too many games

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Does this have 4 player couch co op? would be the game for this.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Wonder how it plays on Steam Deck.

 

[Roberts]

Played a few levels on XsX. Love it, the animation of enemies exploding never gets old. It feels reasonably polished for a Early Access game, but the performance suffers when you switch on all the graphics settings.

Stick to 360P

 

[acm2000]

really disliked the controls, didnt feel good at all on xbox cloud

 

[Punished Miku]

10 min in and this is an instant buy. Just fun as hell. Love it.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

THIS GAME IS AWESOME.

Shooting stuff just feels so good. Movement feels great, too, and the level design is fantastic. They nailed it.

I agree.

It is the BEST retro FPS I've played.

It uses modern techniques whilst having a nice stylized look. Most 'retro games' look fucking ugly to me but this looks fantastic.

What is your GPU?

Edit: misread your post.

I'm surprised the Xbox Series X cannot run this maxed out.

 

[ChoosableOne]

What is your GPU?

AMD Xbox Series X GPU Specs

AMD Scarlett, 1825 MHz, 3328 Cores, 208 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 10240 MB GDDR6, 1750 MHz, 320 bit

Just guessing.

 

[Murdoch]

I've got one minor gripe with this game and that's the weapon switching (specifically with a controller)

There's too many guns in the game to scroll through a list of them and bringing up the traditional weapon wheel brings up a page of weapons you need to select from which dramatically slows down the frantic pace.

Am I missing the trick with the default D-pad weapon select?

I've remapped the weapon switch to RB & LB as I found the D-pad a pain in the arse to constantly use in a shooter.

Thank you!

Seriously though, I’m pretty sure they will optimise SSAO and SSR by the time v1.0 launches.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Amazing game. Playing It on the PS5.

 

[The_Mike]

Game has become broken on my xbox.

I can't get past the photosensivity warning.

I have to press a to get past the warning, but it doesn't react on any controller input.

UI menus and everything works but Prodeus doesn't register any input.

(edit : reinstalled it fixed it)

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Played it for awhile on Gamepass. I feel like the game plays well, but is very bland. You're doing the same thing over and over in similar looking environments. There's not much to it.

You play it for the gameplay. It's like the old doom games.

 

[Apocryphon]

Ita basically Doom, but there's some added depth with the ore fragment collectibles that make returning to previously completed levels necessary once you have enough to unlock the double jump and dash. But yes, the game bu design is repetitive in nature and isn't for everybody. Fortunately it's a lot more fun to play than heavily scripted CoD games and the like, but it's not as freeform as something like Metro Exodus.

The more I play it the more I appreciate the level design. It isn't as tight as games like Quake, but there are some very well constructed areas. Environment variety may be lacking, but that's no different to games like Doom or Quake. If you want a retro FPS with lots of visual variety play Amid Evil.

Played on the hardest difficulty Prodeus is one of the best FPS games I've played in recent years. This game, Dusk, Amid Evil, and Ion Fury are all more enjoyable experiences than Doom Eternal (the controversy!). It might not be fir everybody but if you have Gamepass and you like shooters there's no reason to not check it out.

My take too. It's charming and neat! I'll play for an hour.

And then I moved on.
