"Prodeus is the reincarnation of classic FPS games from the &s;90s. There isn&s;t much of a story here, but let&s;s be honest, if you are playing this game, it&s;s for the blood and mayhem!"

"The mixture of visual styles of Prodeus, combined with agile and responsive gameplay, results in something that we can call modern nostalgia. If you enjoy FPS games in general, but you want to take a walk in the past to …"
Read original review"Prodeus is a noble tribute to the original Doom with plenty of action, excellent stylized visuals, and great level design. However, the brief campaign grows repetitive as the mechanics don&s;t evolve beyond the basics, and multiplayer is unfortunately empty."

Read original review"Prodeus is self-consciously an old-school shooter, and it does a good job in replicating the frenetic, explosive gunplay and oppressive atmosphere of classic 90’s FPS titles like Doom and Quake. Sadly, beyond some interesting aesthetics, it doesn’t really stake out …"

"Prodeus is a great retro shooter that impresses with complex levels, brutality and variable weapons. But it still feels a bit like Early Access, because it is very short and with insufficient variability of enemies."

"I certainly can’t claim Prodeus is a bad game, it just left me thoroughly underwhelmed. Perhaps this encapsulates the underlying issue with the desire to create a game whose primary ambition is to recreate the feeling of playing older titles."
