About The Citadel

✦ AI summary

The Citadel is a hardcore old-school shooter that sends you through 6 episodes of brutal action across 30 levels packed with diverse enemies, 14 upgradable weapons, and environmental kills like kicking foes into lava. What sets it apart is its skill-based dodge-focused combat with purely projectile-based enemies, unlimited continues to keep trying, and optional hardcore features like weapon jamming and leaning mechanics for added replayability.

The Citadel is a brutal first person shooter, and a love letter to classic games such as Marathon, Doom and Wolfenstein 3d. Descend into the depths of a dark citadel, and fight through 6 Episodes and 30 levels of action packed with 6 challenging bosses. Go forth, Martyr.
