I got to watch a guy over the past two years with zero experience make this game completely solo. I had little faith when he first mentioned this ambition, but as time went on I began to see the potential in this game. Getting to witness firsthand the dedication behind the development I can say it was made with effort and is loyal to it's roots. Now that it's finally out in EA (with more content to come) I can confirm it is actually fun and achieves exactly what it's trying to be, a boomer shooter.

From the few hours i've spent so far in the game it is clear that a lot of passion has gone into the making. The combat is satisfying, the music is perfect, the secrets are well spread out and varied, the references to other games (Half Life microwave being my favourite) just make you smile. The radios are a great touch i started listening to one and before i knew it i had sat through the entire broadcast because i was learning something new, and lets not forget about the addictive minigames and no i will not post my first level completion time because i couldn't get enough of Ball Dropper. Oh and being told by the protagonist 'Didn't you just save' after i got a little scummy with the quicksaves was hilarious. I could go on but i will just say that all these things just gel fantastically and the end result is a game that is true to its roots in every form with sprinkles on top and I am in awe of the fact it was all developed by just one person. Looking forward to further episodes and i will be replaying what ive done so far for missed secrets.

If Cultic is the real Blood 2 then this is Blood 2.5. Good gameplay, cool and unique levels, and challenging but fair combat. A couple bugs, but that's to be expected. Cannot wait for Episode 2 and 3. Hopefully by next year!

I've played the pre-release betas. Game is made by one dude who is an amazing artist and speedrunner. He has posted Maledictor development updates on youtube and is very transparent. Maledictor is a Retro FPS that is influenced by Blood, a Blood-like if you will, having you blast cultists through various environments like a rural farm, or an urban city block. The Shotgun and Ammo Can IED are absolute powerhouses that wont let you down. The pistol is an anomaly, I find myself favoring it for many instances due to its nearly perfect accuracy especially when hitting enemies across the map. Audio for the most part is fine, I think with some small adjustments mostly to audio levels, would do wonders. Arcade games are strangely addicting, maybe because I want that item locked behind the score requirement. Levels get impressive fast, mostly in terms of scale. Level design is good, I dont find myself getting lost all the time. Areas that are furnished/decorated are well put together. Youll find many great references and gags that help break up the bleak atmosphere the game has, not to mention the Armadillos haha. Whoever and/or whatever inspired you to add the C4 FPV Drones, claymo…

so far i really enjoy playing the game. the game itself is challenging for me I'm really enjoying the game so far. It's challenging, but not to the point of being annoying. I've been following the project from the very beginning, and I think it's great how the levels have evolved in terms of detail and difficulty. :) I hope you enjoy the journey through the game just as much as I am right now. :D
