Today’s Spotlight is Amid Evil, a retro-inspired FPS by Indefatigable and New Blood Interactive that recently left Early Access.
Published with the help of the producers of last year’s Dusk, Amid Evil is a retro-FPS along the lines of Hexen and Heretic. You play as a heretic that becomes a champion in the war against the forces of evil. Fight your way through hordes of enemies with an exotic arsenal of melee and ranged weapons across seven chapters. You can check out the launch trailer above.
Amid Evil is available on Windows PC via Steam and GOG for $20. Steam also has a bundle that includes Dusk at a nice discount.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
