Screw eight-gen graphics… it’s time to go retro once again as the gore-soaked shooter Strafe, which pays homage to both Doom and Quake, is now available on PS4 and Steam. Head here to buy the collector’s edition in addition to the vinyl soundtrack.
In Strafe you’re tasked with collecting scrap (which serves as a form of currency) from the derelict spacecraft Icarus. If you played Doom or Quake back in the day, then you know what you’re in for.
Published by Devolver Digital and developed by Pixel Titans, Strafe also looks like it could be one of the goriest games of 2017 so far. The fountains of blood and body parts that litter the environment will never disappear, leading to the creation of what the game’s official description refers to as “death art.”
It’s about time we had something to remind us how fun first-person shooters could be before everything tried to be the next Call of Duty. The ultraviolent live-action trailers below are kinda neat too.
From the Press Release:
STRAFE® is a roguelike first-person shooter pushing the limits of computer-generated photorealism and hardcore sci-fi action into unimaginable territory. With virtually no load times and infinite replayability, just choose your gun and be instantly blown away by:
- FACE MELTING SPEED! The blazing fast action will hit you like the blast wave of a 50-megaton thermonuclear warhead, liquefying your skin cells and rupturing your internal organs, yet still leave you coming back for more.
- PERMANENT DAMAGE AND GIBS! ÜBER-GORE® technology means enemies explode with near never-ending fountains of blood, which never fades away. Create wicked works of death art that mark your explored territory from the unventured.
- ENDLESS CHANGING LEVELS! Randomly-generated levels are always different and violently unpredictable. Rooms, enemies, power-ups, monster closets, and secrets move around every time you die and die and die and die!
As a Scrapper on a impossibly dangerous mission at the edge of the galaxy, you only have one life to navigate all the nightmarish terrains of STRAFE®. When you die, nothing will ever be the same again.
STRAFE® ALSO INCLUDES:
- Four unique zones (three levels each) that demand different death-defying gameplay styles
- Gun upgrades that turn your average tool of death into an outright Holocaust machine
- 30+ insane weapons and 20+ bloodthirsty enemies
- The sickest soundtrack of 1996 and at least the next 25 years
- Unsigned 32-bit colors
- Lifelike digital gravity
- Colored lighting
- And more!
