Kingdom of the Dead

No summary available

KINGDOM of the DEAD, RANDOM capitalisation ASIDE, is a retro-styled horror-FPS with a very distinctive art style. Despite its eye-catching hand-drawn aesthetic, it doesn’t bring too much innovation to the table gameplay-wise. However, while being somewhat rough around the edges and lacking on the narrative front, it’s a fun enough ride while it lasts.

A solid FPS experience, despite its moderate design.

Kingdom of the Dead has solid combat and good level design, but it's let down by an absence of challenge and some severe performance issues.

As things stand, Kingdom of the Dead is a great proof of concept that is still an enjoyable retro FPS but doesn’t quite live up to the aesthetics. I’m keen to see what the developer produces next though as they clearly have a real flair for design and a love of old school FPS games.

Something about a cool looking stylized first person shooter always pulls me in. Fast paced twitch shooting married with over the top horror enemies and a cool ass art design will get me every time. Games like Into the Pit and BPM or less horror but still showcasing cool design like Bright Memory: Infinite and Serious Sam have a way of pumping me up. Kingdom of the Dead hits on all the things I mentioned above which is why I had to play it. Fast paced FPS? Check. Cool art design? Check...
