Cultic

I wrote about the game quite extensively when I tried the demo, of all things (I never play demos). The full game has somewhat easier jumps, but other than that, it’s very close to my impression from the demo. It’s a faithful homage to Blood, with heavy emphasis on dynamite.

At first there’s the mechanic from Doom 3 where you need to hold a lighter in one hand in dark areas, and so can only operate one-handed weapons. But after a few levels you get a proper flashlight.
I didn’t expect the first boss to be a German tank.

Not after cultists, skeletons and demons I’ve been fighting. But then, the arsenal is also heavily WW2 themed, with FG42 and Sten, despite the game taking place in ’60ies. Maybe that’s just Return to Castle Wolfenstein influence.
