Old-school “boomer” shooter fans will have something to chew on later this month when Fatbot Games and s. r. o. release Gravelord into Early Access on Steam on January 22. There’s also a demo available for you to dip your toes into the fast-paced action that, in the developers’ words, aims to put the “fun” back in funeral.
Designed to be along the lines of Doom or Quake, Gravelord puts players in the shoes of Queedo the Gravedigger, who’s dumb as hell, strong as an ox, and has a mouth like Duke Nukem to go along with it. Queedo sets out to avenge his father while using his shovel and various other weapons to beat the living crap out of his enemies. He also has Tarot Cards that you can collect to boost your power level and combat options, as well as weapon upgrades to unlock additional fire modes and synergies.
In keeping with its inspirations, Gravelord has players running and jumping around levels designed heavily to feature fun and engaging gameplay rather than realism. There are also plenty of hidden secrets to find in each level. For even more fun, the devs also plan to release a level editor once Gravelord exits Early Access. From the sounds of things, the editor will be pretty powerful, allowing ambitious modders to script things to their heart’s content, as well as making level creation “a breeze to build.”
