Exodemon oldschool for the newage.

The other day I assaulted Itch.io‘s servers and downloaded a bunch of games. I was aesthetic hunting for the most part, i.e. finding what looked interesting. I was shallow and incredibly discerning, judging everything on their thumbnails and titles. I wanted to see if I could find a game that would allow me to flex my little 7670k without turning it into a space heater. I only have the stock…

Exodemon draws inspiration from Doom, Quake and Hexen to create a super stylish old school sci-fi first person shooter full of fast paced run and gun action. Devilishly good fun.

Exodemon is raw. You start in this metal catwalk with a message in blood written behind you (“THE EXODEMON IS AWAKE”). You look ghoulishly hunched over, demonic metal claws extended, a killing machine from the start. You move like one, too. You enter the metal warehouse the game takes place in by slashing a teleportation console.

The obvious comparison is Devil Daggers, but the manic energy of Gun Godz is there too. Grainy, bit-crushed explosions burst forth over a soundtrack driven by a menacing bassline that sounds like a Sega Genesis bass run through a Big Muff Pi. There’s an overwhelming sense of sharpness to the game’s lightning-speed combat, its grainy but fluid enemy sprites and jolting gunshots. Health and ammo readouts are diegetic, appearing on the backs of your clawed hands. Small clip size and a relative scarcity of ammo encourage you to use a deadly but risky melee slash that kills most enemies in a single hit, forcing you to learn the rhythms and patterns of the weird robots of Exodemon to preserve your rather small health bar.

It’s a speedy ride, one absolutely worth your time. The developer’s itch.io hints at more to come, and hopefully a less harsh checkpointing system.
