Apocryph: an old-school shooter

  Apocryph is a FPS set in a brutal dark fantasy world. It takes it's 
  roots in old-school fantasy shooters, so prepare for intense 
  sword-and-sorcery FPS action amidst forgotten castles, evil shrines and 
  decrepit dungeons!


  The world of Apocryph is a grim, violent place, harboring magic, dark 
  rituals and dangers around every corner. Wherever you go you'll be 
  facing unrelenting monsters, traps and locked passages, and can only 
  depend on yourself and your equipment to survive the trials.


  - Static, carefully handcrafted levels and level-hubs, all packed with 
  secrets, monsters and traps.

  - Your character can wield up to 9 different weapons with alternative 
  fire modes, including melee armaments, spells, staffs and artifacts.

  - Items can help you in tough situations, health potions will aid your 
  health, mana vials can restore your mana, combat items can do some 
  damage to an opponent.

  - There are also more rare and powerful relics to be found, such as the 
  dreaded Obliterator Mask, which encases you in a suit of 
  nigh-impenetrable armor, allows you to bash enemies with your plain 
  fists and send powerful shockwaves across the walls and floor, or the 
  Essence of the Reaper, which turns you into an avatar of Death itself, 
  boosting your speed, granting you wings to perform double jumps and a 
  wicked scythe which cleaves and destroys any opponent.

  - Some weapons and items can be used to stun enemies, freeze them solid, 
  deal area of effect damage or even provide defensive measures.

  - The game uses a sophisticated gore system. A powerful finishing blow 
  can rip a part of the enemy right out of him, while critically over 
  damaging an opponent literally blows them to pieces, with limbs flying 
  across the room and sticking to the walls.


  You control the Arbiter, once a person of a high rank in Xilai religious 
  hierarchy. The Xilai were known for many things, such as their artistry, 
  magical arts and unity. But all the worlds feared them for a different 
  reason - the Xilai worshiped Death itself. For centuries they raided 
  countless worlds, reaping souls in the name of their dreaded Mistress.

  Events preceding the game have led to your exile, and now, after many 
  years you return back, only to find fortresses and lands overrun with 
  demonic spawns and vile beasts. Why were you exiled? What could cause 
  this desolation? It's time to find some answers... and reap some demon 
  spawn in the name of Pale Mistress.
