Gravelord, a Quake-Meets-Duke-Nukem Boomer Shooter, Announced for PC
Developer Fatbot Games has announced a new Quake-era-themed boomer shooter called Gravelord, mixing in tarot cards that are played during the fast-first-person-shooter gameplay in order to add a layer of customizability and unpredictability to the action. Stupid-but-strong Queedo the Gravedigger quips about the violence he dispenses with his shovel (and a full menagerie of other weapons) as he goes, a la Duke Nukem.
Gravelord is in development for PC and does not yet have a release date. Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Gravelord promises fast-paced combat, hand-crafted retro levels (read: there are secrets to find!), weapon upgrades, a story told through hidden comic book pages, a level editor, and more. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.
