"Prodeus is a top-notch old-school first-person shooter that takes what made the classics great and amplifies it with fitting modernizations."

"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!"

"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."
