Glad it made it here eventually.
Selaco too, please (when it's ready).

Seconded.

This one is for all the HeXen fans. Fun game and nice to see it finally arrive here.

Because of the nature of a metroidvania, is there much back-tracking and such?

And also does this game have a complicated hub system like the HeXen games or is it more linear? I liked Heretic, but HeXen? No, thank you.


Nevermind, I found the info on the gamepage:
... in this metroidvania, as you explore the 21 maps in 3 giant and exciting hubs!

Sad face :(

Similar to Heretic? Sold!
Now bring Selaco too, please!

Nice addition.
I vote for Selaco, too (and Supplice, and Boltgun, and...)

I found a nice review, but there are more online.

That UI is a bit weird tho.. it feels like one of those Doom widescreen mods that couldn''t scale the interface's graphics.

Well, this is a nice surprise... except that I still have to point out the Linux version doesn't seem to have come here.

https://twitter.com/frechou_games/status/1585621968442859527 says this is v. 2.0 so perhaps it's related to that. The itch.io download still appears to be 1.5.3.

Didn´t knew a Doom modes are allowed to sell here - well, I am taking it.
Can´t go wrong with that, especially for this price ;)

It's not really a Doom mod. It's a standalone game that runs on a (slightly) modified version of GZDoom.

Nothing wrong with stand-alone GZDoom-based games. After all, we’ve already got Hedon here. Even Ion Fury and its use of eduke32 is similar in that regard.

Hexen on Steroids The first Hub alone is probably bigger than the whole city in Strife. It is going to be fun, indeed. A long ride with backtracking and puzzles.

It is a bit demanding. If you do not fill clearly the requirements the performance is going to suffer a bit once you explore the map and it is bigger and depending the place. But well, I can't complain considering my rig. And the price is pretty fair.

Probably not but, Could it be played externally with a different port (LzDoom, ZDoom etc)? Are any mods available yet? I mean, new HUD textures or things like that?

I think it should - I would imagine their "slightly different" version of GZDoom is nothing else just GZDoom with their own mix of .ini settings.
So there should not be any incompatibility issues.
