- Prodeus is a classic Doom clone through and through, but that isn't a knock at all. It nails the core mechanics well from the level design to pacing. While the enemies feel like reskinned versions of what you're familiar with, the gameplay loop works thanks to some solid shooting mechanics. Even though it lacks real innovation in the space and the multiplayer is practically dead, the inclusion of a map maker along with a plethora of custom maps almost negates those issues. Overall, shooting fans will like this one, and curious players can use as an entry point into the re-merging boomer shooter genre.
Cody Medellin · Apr 03, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Prodeus ultimately doesn’t feel as timeless as Doom or Quake then, but we can’t deny it does provide the kind of bone crunching and effective thrills that will appeal to more people than the creaky classics it’s been inspired by.
Simon Reed · Jan 11, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Performance on Switch isn’t flawless but it is still very playable and looks great the whole time. While it struggles to find its own identity along the way, and comes off more as an elaborate mod or a fan game than a title of its own, Prodeus does still stand as an solid though unoriginal shooter.
John Rairdin · Dec 07, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Prodeus is the kind of game that knows exactly what it wants to do and executes that vision flawlessly. It’s not complicated and it’s nothing you haven’t seen before, but every inch of this experience was clearly crafted with passion and talent.
Mitch Vogel · Nov 03, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Prodeus is an excellent experience for modern and retro first-person shooter fans. The pure carnage of the gameplay and high replayable offered makes it a game that can be easily returned to in small bursts or long play sessions.
Azario Lopez · Oct 11, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Intelligent design and fierce intensity combine to make Prodeus the finest single-player shooter of the year so far. It loses marks for a confusing economy and overworld, but it’s still worth whispering in the same reverent voice you save for the classics.
Jake Tucker · Oct 10, 2022 Reviewed onRead full review - Sadly, beyond some interesting aesthetics, it doesn’t really stake out much of an identity of its own. The lack of any real story, worldbuilding or unique gameplay mechanics stops Prodeus short of being something really special.
Jonathan Trussler · Oct 08, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Super smooth, but satisfyingly punchy when the combat kicks in. The visuals are also a key part of the equation, with gory death animations adding so much to the moment-to-moment carnage.
Robert Ramsey · Oct 05, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Prodeus not just stands on the shoulders of giants, it dwarfs them. Over hours, though, the incessant action and jackhammer sound design start to feel a little restrictive and repetitive. Prodeus is a near-perfect homage to late 90s shooters, but you don’t need to be a demon spawn of Doom to enjoy it.
Mark Steighner · Oct 04, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Its levels are amazing, its gameplay is fast-paced and punchy, its soundtrack is insane… and it’s got a freaking phenomenal level editor that will basically ensure that players will have an endless supply of brand new levels to tackle for the foreseeable future. More than just another “boomer shooter”, Prodeus is one of the best first-person shooters released in years, period.
