A brutal, gory boomer shooter that’s definitely a great fit for fans of the genre. As for me, I found myself switching off my brain and just diving into pure, unfiltered gameplay for a couple of evenings—no deep thinking, just action.

One downside for me was the overwhelming amount of visual effects—sometimes there’s just too much happening on screen, making it hard to see what’s actually going on. Sure, it looks flashy and impressive, but a few times it got in the way and caused some confusion.

Thankfully, the game is well-balanced and thoughtfully designed (despite the checkpoint system), so on normal difficulty it doesn’t get frustrating. Just keep juggling weapons, dodging enemies, and causing absolute chaos. Perfect if you’re looking to recharge with some mindless, adrenaline-fulled fun.

It is a VERY VERY good game, with potential to be one of my favorites. However, any talk or discussion about PRODEUS always get overshadowed by the fact that this game has a very bizare save system that I do see the idea of, but it is implemented extremely poorly, and until that is fixed im not even gonna bother reviewing why the game itself is actually good, because the game is sadly broken and they should have focused on fixing this system instead of working on a DLC first. The game itself is very good though so I must say that I still recommend it. It is actually quite sad that something like this turns it from epic game to only a slight recommendation from me.

(This review will be updated once a new save system is added.)

This game had the potential to be perfect, but I can’t recommend it at all. It completely removes any sense of challenge, dying has ZERO consequences! Enemies stay dead, progress is never lost, and even your ammo gets replenished. What’s the point of playing this game?

Boomer shooters thrive on difficulty and risk, forcing players to improve. But in Prodeus, even on the hardest difficulty, death changes nothing. You just respawn as if nothing happened. It’s a huge waste of potential. The developers must add a checkpoint system.
