These enemies simply take a few extra shots to kill, and you will naturally break 10 shields while getting 100 of kills in these levels. The player has access to all manors of fantasy-themed weaponry with fitting names, including the Celestial Claw, Star of Torment and Axe of The Black Labyrinth. Prodeus enemies can appear with ice over their body in Level 25: Aftermath and Level 26: Frost, while Chaos enemies can appear with a glowing red shield around them in Level 27: Gate to Chaos. The enjoyment comes yet again from smooth controls and fantastic gunplay using the game's various weapons and magic spells. However, spending more time in Amid Evil's levels is more of a treat than it was back in those classic shooters that would often confuse and frustrate players. Once again, the developer has found an unexplored area of the retro shooter revival and capitalized on it, creating sprawling levels that harken back to the confusing maps of old shooters. Amid Evil takes the groundwork laid out by Hexen and expands upon it, featuring cosmic horror and surreal level design elements. One area that most retro shooters don't explore is the forgotten trend of classic fantasy shooters like Heretic and Hexen. However, developer Indefatigable is working to bring back this lost genre with Amid Evil, a fantasy shooter featuring wizards blasting stuff with spells and magic. RELATED: Prodeus Proves Simple Game Design Still Works Certain enemies even explode completely, soaking the industrial style steel levels in gore. Enemies are torn apart by weapon-fire, covering the walls, floor and even ceilings in hilariously over-the-top arterial sprays. Prodeus is not shy when it comes to blood and guts. One standout is the super shotgun, a monster of a weapon that comes with a whopping four barrels instead of the usual double-barrel scheme and puts those extra barrels to use, splattering enemies all over the place. Prodeus features a standard but hard-hitting arsenal of weapons, including a pistol, shotguns, a rocket launcher and more exotic affairs like a lightning gun. However, it also encourages exploration as it features many secrets to find, much like the original Doom games. The furious gameplay tasks players with killing a path to the exit via its level-based system. Prodeusis a stylish take on the retro trend, a blend of the original Doom and Quakein visual design and gameplay style.
