Is… is that you, Doomguy?
It turns out you’ve got the option to turn off a lot of the gore and nudity.
you might also swaddle yourself in some nice, sturdy, PG-13 body armor.
As the name suggests, Beyond Citadel is a sequel to The Citadel, which launched in 2020.
It’s the work of Japanese developer doekuramori, who I’m not familiar with.
The premise: it is Armageddon O' Clock.
You are the Martyr, gun-toting anime girl agent of seven guardian angels.
His agent probably wouldn’t let him anywhere near a hot potato like this.
The gunplay is broadly Doom-to-Dark-Forces, but with corner-peeking and ironsight aiming.
You also get options to make the handling more elaborate.
I like when video game guns go clicky-clack, perhaps even more than when they go boom.
There is plenty to read, with in-game writing that ranges from clipped computer logs to snippets of scripture.
God is dead, I gather.
“0-919 activation in process”.
Which doesn’t feel like an accident, on the developer’s part.
Still, I like Beyond Citadel’s gunplay and spaces enough that I’ll probably play a little more.
